❒extra-urban cycle: driving that simulates
using the vehicle out of town with fre-
quent acceleration in all gears; the
speed varies from 0 to 120 km/h;
❒combined consumption: this is calcu-
lated with a weighting of about 37% ur-
ban cycle consumption and about 63%
extra-urban consumption. The fuel consumption figures given in the
table below are determined on the basis
of the homologation tests set down by
specific European Directives.
The procedures below are followed for
measuring consumption:
❒urban cycle: cold starting followed by
driving that simulates urban use of the
car;IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic
situations, weather conditions, driving
style, general state of the car, trim lev-
el/equipment/accessories, load, climate
control system, roof rack, and other sit-
uations that affect how the car moves
through the air may lead to different fuel
consumption levels than those measured.
