Large deviations in fuel consumption may
arise in a comparison with the EU driving
1
cycles
which are used in the certification of
the car and on which the consumption figures
in the table are based.
To bear in mind
Tips that the driver can use in order to reduce
consumption:
•
Drive gently and avoid unnecessary
acceleration as well as braking too hard.
•
Drive with the correct air pressure in the
tyres and check this regularly - select
ECO tyre pressure for best results, see
the tyre pressure table on page 408.
•
Choice of tyres can affect fuel consump-
tion - seek advice on suitable tyres from a
dealer.
See further information and more advice on
pages 11 and 302.
See page 306 for general information on fuel.

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 and 715/2007 (Euro 5) and UN ECE Regulation no 101. The regulations cover the driving cycles for urban driving and extra-urban driving. - Urban driving - the measure-
ment starts with cold starting the engine. The driving is simulated. - Extra-urban driving - the car is accelerated and braked at speeds between 0 and 120 km/h. The driving is simulated. - A car
with D2, D3, D4 or D5 engine and 6-speed manual gearbox is started in 2nd gear. The combined driving value given in the table is a combination of urban driving and extra-urban driving, in
accordance with applicable legislation. CO

emissions - the exhaust gases are collected in order to calculate the carbon dioxide emissions during the two driving cycles. These are then analysed
