Vehicle data sticker
The vehicle data sticker » Fig. 164 -  is located under the floor covering in the
luggage compartment.
The vehicle data sticker contains the following data: Vehicle identification number (VIN)
Vehicle type
Gearbox code/paint number/interior equipment/engine output/engine code Partial vehicle description
Operating weight (in kg)
Fuel consumption (in ltr./100 km) - intra-urban/extra-urban/combined
CO 2 emission levels - combined (in g/km)
Items

on the vehicle data sticker are only valid for some countries.
Type plate
The type plate » Fig. 164 - 
is located at the bottom of the B-pillar on the driver's
side.
The type plate lists the following weights:
Maximum permissible gross weight
Maximum permissible towed weight (towing vehicle and trailer)
Maximum permissible front axle load
Maximum permissible rear axle load
Vehicle identification number (VIN)
The vehicle identification number - VIN (vehicle body number) is stamped on the
right hand suspension strut dome in the engine compartment. This number is also
located on a sign on the lower left hand edge below the windscreen (together
with a VIN bar code).
Engine number
The engine number (three-digit code letter and serial number) is stamped onto
the engine block.
Operating weight
The specified operating weight is for orientation purposes only. This value repre- sents the minimum operating weight without additional weight-increasing equip-ment such as air conditioning system, spare wheel, or trailer hitch. 

The operating weight also contains the weight of the driver (75 kg), the weight of
the operating fluids, the tool kit, and a fuel tank filled to 90 % capacity.
It is possible to calculate the approximate loading capacity from the difference
between the permissible total weight and the operating weight »
.
The payload consists of the following components: › Passengers
› All items of luggage and other loads
› Roof load including roof rack system
› Equipment not included in the operating weight
› Trailer drawbar load when towing a trailer (max. 50 kg).
Measuring the fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions according to the ECE
regulations and EU directives
The measurement of the intra-urban cycle begins with a cold start of the engine.
Afterwards urban driving is simulated.
In the extra-urban driving cycle, the vehicle is accelerated and decelerated in all gears, corresponding to daily routine driving conditions. The driving speed varies
between 0 and 120 km/h.
The calculation of the combined fuel consumption considers a weighting of about 37 % for the intra-urban cycle and 63 % for the extra-urban cycle.WARNINGDo not exceed the specified maximum permissible weights – there is the riskof an accident and damage.
Note
■ If required, you can find out the precise weight of your vehicle by contacting a
specialist garage.■
The fuel consumption and emission values have been determined in accordance
with rules and under conditions set out by legal or technical requirements for de-
termining operational and technical data for motor vehicles.
■
Depending on the range of equipment, style of driving, traffic situation, weather
influences and vehicle condition, consumption values may deviate from the indi-
cated values.
