FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures shown below have been calculated using a standard testing
procedure (the new EC test procedure from Directive93/116/EC), and produced in
accordance with The Passenger Car Fuel Consumption (Amendment)Order 1996. Under
normal use, a car’s actualfuel consumption figures may differ from those achievedthrough
the test procedure,depending on driving technique,road and traffic conditions,
environmental factors, vehicle load and condition.

Urban cycle
The urban test cycleis carried out from a cold start and consists of a seriesof accelerations,
decelerationsand periods of steady speed driving and engine idling. The maximum speed
attained during the test is 31 mph (50 km/h) with an averagespeed of 12 mph (19 km/h).
Extra-urban cycle
The extra urban test cycle is carriedout immediately after the urban test.Approximately half
of the test comprisessteady-speed driving,while the remainderconsists of a seriesof
accelerations,decelerationsand engine idling. The maximum test speed is 75 mph (120
km/h) and the averagespeed 39 mph (63 km/h). The testis carried out over a distance of 4.3
miles (7 km).
Combined
The combined figure is an average of the urban and extra-urban test cycle results,which has
been weighted to takeaccount of the different distancescovered during the two tests.
NOTE: These figuresshould not be compared with figures produced using the ECE/EEC
procedure previouslyrequired by The Passenger Car Fuel Consumption Order 1983. Because
of the changes in test procedure, even the urban figures would differ if the samecar were
subjected to both tests.
