Introduction to fuel consumption
The vehicle will use more fuel than usual in
the following situations:
at very low temperatures
R
in urban traffic
R
on short trips
R
in mountainous terrain
R
The consumption figures have been deter-
mined according to EU Directive
RL 80 / 1268 / EEC.
i
Only for certain countries: the respective
current consumption and emission values
of your vehicle can be found in the COC
papers (EC-CERTIFICATE OF CONFORM-
ITY). These documents are supplied when
the vehicle is delivered.
!
Do not use any special additives, as they
can cause malfunctions and engine dam-
age. Damage resulting from the use of such

H Environmental note
CO
(carbon dioxide) is the gas which sci-
2
entists believe to be principally responsible
for global warming (the greenhouse effect).
Your vehicle's CO
emissions are directly
2
related to fuel consumption and therefore
depend on:
efficient use of the fuel by the engine
R
driving style
R
other non-technical factors, such as envi-
R
ronmental influences or road conditions
You can minimise your vehicle's CO
sions by driving carefully and having it serv-
iced regularly.
