Technical specification.
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. Vehicle unladen weight ranges with
90% tank capacity without driver (75 kg). The individual unladen weight depends on the specification
of the vehicle, this then reduces the possible payload accordingly.
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 Super
plus unleaded.
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
higher levels of specification and factory-fitted options may emit higher levels of CO
