FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures given in the
table below are determined on the basis of
the homologation tests set down by specif-
ic European directives.
The procedures below are followed for
measuring consumption:
–urban cycle: cold starting followed by
driving that simulates urban use of the car;–extra-urban cycle: frequent accel-
erating in all gears, simulating extraurban
use of the car; the speed varies between 0
and 120 km/h;
–combined consumption: is calcu-
lated weighing about 37% of urban cycle
consumption and about 63% of extraurban
consumption.

IMPORTANT The type of route,
traffic situations, weather conditions,
driving style, general conditions of
the vehicle, trim level/equip-
ment/accessories, load, presence of
a roof rack, use of the climate con-
trol system, other situations that af-
fect air drag may lead to different fu-
el consumption levels than those
measured (see “Reducing running
costs and environment pollution” in
the chapter “Correct use of the car”).
