car is loaded, increases fuel consumption and
carbon 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
11
model's basic version, then resistance
increases.
•
High speed results in increased wind
resistance.
•
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
3
cycles which are used in the certification of
the car and on which the consumption figures
in the table are based.
3 Official fuel consumption figures are based on two standardised driving cycles in a laboratory environment ("EU driving cycles") all in accordance with EU Regulation no 692/2008 and 715/2007
(Euro 5 / Euro 6) and UN ECE Regulation no 101. The regulations cover the driving cycles for urban driving and extra-urban driving. - Urban driving - the measurement 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 D4 AWD or D5 AWD 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 legisla-
tion. 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 for CO
2
emissions.

NOTE
Extreme weather conditions, driving with a
trailer or driving at high altitudes in combi-
nation with fuel grade are factors that
could affect the car's performance.
