Technology

Technical specification notes
01) The maximum power output figures are quoted in PS (or Pferdestärke, which is the metric equivalent of horsepower).
To convert from metric to imperial horsepower, divide the PS figure by 1.0139.
02) Figures are calculated in accordance with manufacturer's criteria. The individual unladen weight depends on the specification
of the vehicle, this then reduces the possible payload accordingly. The unladen weight and payload both include the fuel tank
90% full, driver (68 kg) and luggage (7 kg) in line with EU directive 95/48.
03) With increasing altitude the engine performance diminishes. From 1,000 m above sea level and for every 1,000 m thereafter
10% of the vehicle/trailer weight (trailer weight + gross vehicle weight) must be deducted.
04) Thanks to the knock control, unleaded four star (at least 95 RON) can be used instead of unleaded Super plus. In order
to achieve maximum fuel consumption benefits on the TSI engine, Ultra Low Sulphur Petrol (ULSP) must be used.
05) The use of RME and FAME (bio diesel) is not possible.
06) Official fuel consumption according to EU Directive 99/94. The consumption calculation according to 1999/100/EC is based
on the actual unladen weight of the vehicle. Additional specifications can lead to a higher weight class and hence to consumption
figures of this higher weight class. The driving style, road and traffic conditions, environmental influences and vehicle condition
can in practice lead to consumption figures, which may differ from those calculated with this standard.
07) The weight of a vehicle will influence the level of CO
and factory-fitted options may emit higher levels of CO
