Notes on fuel consumption
The vehicle will use more fuel than usual in
the following situations:
R
at very low outside temperatures
R
in urban traffic
R
on short journeys
R
when towing a trailer
R
in mountainous terrain
i
Only for certain countries: you can find
the current consumption and emission val-
ues of your vehicle in the COC documents
(EU CERTIFICATE OF CONFORMITY). These
documents are delivered with your vehicle.
The consumption figures were in each case
based on the currently applicable version:
R
for vehicles up to and including the EURO
4 standard, in accordance with EU Direc-
tive 80/1268/ECC
R
for vehicles above the EURO 5 standard,
in accordance with Regulation (EC) No.
715/2007
Deviations from these values may occur
under normal operating conditions.
!
Do not use any fuel additives, as they can
cause malfunctions and engine damage.
H
Environmental note
CO
2
(carbon dioxide) is the gas which scien-
tists believe to be principally responsible for
global warming (the greenhouse effect). Your
vehicle's CO
2
emissions are directly related
to fuel consumption and therefore depend on:
R
efficient use of the fuel by the engine
R
driving style
R
other non-technical factors, such as envi-
ronmental influences or road conditions
You can minimise your vehicle's CO
2
emis-
sions by driving carefully and having it serv-
iced regularly.
