Fuel Consumption -
CO2-Emissions
The determination of fuel
consumption is regulated by
European directive 715/2007 692/
2008 A.
The directive is oriented to actual
driving practices: Urban driving is
rated at approximately 1/3 and extra
urban driving with approximately 2/
3. Cold starts and acceleration
phases are also taken into
consideration.
The specification of CO2 emission
is also a constituent of the directive.
The figures given must not be taken
as a guarantee for the actual fuel
consumption of a particular vehicle.
Furthermore, fuel consumption is
Driving and Operating
dependent on personal driving style
as well as road and traffic
conditions.
All values are based on the EU
base model with standard
equipment.
The calculation of fuel consumption
takes into account the vehicle's curb
weight, ascertained in accordance
with the regulations. Optional
equipment may result in slightly
higher fuel consumption and CO2
emission levels and a lower
maximum speed.
