FUEL CONSUMPTIONThe fuel consumption values shown in the
following tables were established during ho-
mologation tests prescribed in specific Eu-
ropean Directives.
The test conditions adopted include the fol-
lowing:
– an urban cycle: this includes cold
starting followed by simulation of a mixed
urban route;– an extraurban cycle: this includes
frequent accelerating in all gears, simulat-
ing normal extraurban use of the vehicle;
the speed varies between 0 and 120 kph;
– combined consumption: this is cal-
culated by considering a route consisting of
about 37% urban cycle and 63% extraur-
ban cycle.WARNING The type of route,
traffic conditions, weather condi-
tions, driving style, conditions of
the vehicle, trim level/equipment/
accessories, vehicle load, presence
of roof rack, use of the climate con-
trol system, other items that neg-
atively affect the aerodynamics of
the vehicle or wind resistance lead
to different fuel consumption lev-
els than those measured by the
above-mentioned procedures (see
“Reducing running costs and envi-
ronment pollution” in the chapter
“Correct use of the car”).
