          The technical data are available in PDF format. To view them, you will need Acrobat Reader from Adobe, available to download free of charge at www.adobe.com.

            More information on official fuel consumption figures and official specific CO2 emissions for new passenger cars is provided in the publication "Leitfaden über den Kraftstoffverbrauch und die CO2-Emissionen neuer Personenkraftwagen" ["Guidelines on fuel consumption and CO2 emissions for new passenger cars"], which is available free of charge from all sales outlets and from Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH.

              [1] Figures for rated output and rated torque in accordance with Directive 80/1269/EEC in the currently applicable version.

              [2] The figures shown for fuel consumption and CO2 emissions were obtained in accordance with the prescribed measuring process (Directive 80/1268/EEC in the currently applicable version). The figures do not apply to a specific vehicle and do not constitute part of the product offer. They are provided solely for the purpose of comparing different models.

              [3] Figures for kerb weight according to Directive 92/21/EC, version 95/48/EC (kerb weight with fuel tank 90% full, driver, 68 kg, and luggage, 7 kg) for standard-specification vehicles. Optional extras and accessories will generally increase this figure and reduce the payload capacity accordingly.
