Fuel consumption and emissions of
carbon dioxide
Fuel consumption and emission values in the
table above are based on specific EU driving
1
cycles , that apply to cars with kerb weight in
the basic version and without extra equipment.
1 Official fuel consumption figures are based on two standardised driving cycles in a laboratory environment ("EU driving cycles") all in accordance with EU Directive 80/1268/EEC (Euro 4), EU Regulation
no 692/2008 (Euro 5) and UN ECE Regulation no 101. The regulations cover the driving cycles for city driving and driving on main roads. - City driving - The measurement starts with cold starting
the engine. The driving is simulated. Driving on main roads - the car is accelerated and braked at speeds between 0-120 km/h. The driving is simulated. - Cars with the D2 engine and 6-speed
manual transmission with Start/Stop are started in 2nd gear. - The value for combined driving, which is reported in the table, is a combination of city driving and driving on main roads, in accordance
with legal requirements. CO emissions - the exhaust gases are collected in order to calculate the carbon dioxide emissions during the two driving cycles. These are then analysed and give the value
2
for CO emissions.

The car's weight may increase depending on
equipment. This, as well as how heavily the car
is loaded, increases fuel consumption and car-
bon dioxide emissions.
There are several reasons for increased fuel
consumption compared with the table's val-
ues. Examples of this are:
•
The driver's driving style.
•
If the customer has specified wheels larger
than those fitted as standard on the mod-
el's basic version, then resistance increa-
ses.
•
High speed results in increased wind resis-
tance.

•
Fuel quality, road and traffic conditions,
weather and the condition of the car.
Even a combination of the above-mentioned
examples can result in significantly improved
consumption. For further information, please
refer to the regulations referred to
Large deviations in fuel consumption may arise
in a comparison with the EU driving cycles
which are used in the certification of the car
and on which the consumption figures in the
table are based.
