General notes

All data in the official vehicle documents take precedence over this data.

All data in these documents are valid for the basic model as offered in Spain.

The vehicle data card included in the inspection and maintenance schedule

in the vehicles registration documents show which engine is installed in the

vehicle.

The figures may be different if additional equipment is fitted, for different

models, for special vehicles and for other countries.

Vehicle identification data

Vehicle identification number

The vehicle identification number (chassis number) can be read from outside

the vehicle through a viewer in the windscreen. This is located on the left-

hand side of the vehicle in the lower area of the windscreen. It is also located

on the right hand side of the engine compartment.

Type plate

The type plate is located on the left rib inside the engine compartment.

Vehicle data

The data sticker is placed on the inside of the spare wheel recess in the

luggage compartment.

The following information can be found in the vehicle information:

•

Vehicle identification number (chassis number)

Vehicle type / engine power / gearbox type

Engine and gearbox code / paint number / interior equipment

Optional extras / PR numbers

This vehicle data are also contained in the Inspection and Maintenance

schedule ⇒ Booklet “Inspection and Maintenance schedule”.

How are the figures measured?

Fuel consumption

Fuel consumption and emission values are determined according to Euro-

pean Commission Directive 99/100/EC. They take the actual kerb weight

(weight class) into consideration. To calculate the consumption rate, two

measuring cycles are carried out on a rolling road test bed. The test criteria

are as follows:

Urban cycle

The urban cycle starts with an engine cold start. City driving is then simulated.

In the extra urban cycle the vehicle undergoes frequent acceleration and braking in all gears, as in normal everyday driving. The

road speed ranges from 0 to 120 km/h.

Extra urban cycle

The average overall consumption is calculated with a weighting of around 37% for the urban cycle and 63% for the extra urban

cycle.

Combined

The exhaust gases are collected during both driving cycles to calculate carbon dioxide emissions. The gas composition is then

CO emissions

analysed to evaluate the CO content and other emissions.

Note

•

The fuel consumption and emission values quoted in the tables below are

based on an empty basic vehicle without optional extras. The kerb weight of

the vehicle may vary depending on the equipment fitted and thus the weight

category with a relative increase of consumption and emission of CO Your

Authorised Service Centre will be able to inform you of the figures which apply

to your vehicle.

Actual consumption may vary from quoted test values, depending on

personal driving style, road and traffic conditions, the weather and the condi-

tion of the vehicle.

General notes on the technical data

Drawbar load

Weights

The maximum permitted weight exerted by the trailer drawbar on the ball joint

of the towing bracket must not exceed 75 kg.

Kerb weight refers to the basic model with a fuel tank filled to 90% capacity

and without optional extras. The figure quoted includes 75 kg to allow for the

weight of the driver.

In the interest of road safety, we recommend that you always tow

approaching the maximum drawbar load. The response of the trailer on the

road will be poor if the drawbar load is too small.

For special versions and optional equipment fittings or for the addition of

accessories, the weight of the vehicle will increase ⇒

.

If the maximum permissible drawbar load cannot be met (e.g. with small,

empty and light-weight single axle trailers or tandem axle trailers with an axle

base of less than 1 metre), at least 4% of the actual trailer weight is a legal

stipulation for a drawbar load.

WARNING

•

Please note that the centre of gravity may shift when transporting

heavy objects; this may affect the vehicle's handling and lead to an acci-

dent. Always adjust your speed and driving style to suit road conditions

and requirements.

WARNING

For safety reasons, you should not drive at speeds above 80 km/h when

Never exceed the gross axle weight rating or the gross vehicle weight

permitted.

rating. If the allowed axle load or the allowed total weight is exceeded, the

driving characteristics of the vehicle may change, leading to accidents,

injuries and damage to the vehicle.

•

Never exceed the maximum trailer weights or the draw bar loading. If

the permissible axle load or the permissible total weight is exceeded, the

driving characteristics of the vehicle may change, leading to accidents,

injuries and damage to the vehicle.

Towing a trailer

Wheels

Trailer weights

Tyre pressure, snow chains, wheel bolts

The trailer weights and drawbar loads approved are selected in intensive

trials according to precisely defined criteria. The approved trailer weights are

valid for vehicles in EU for maximum speeds of 80 km/h (in certain circum-

stances up to 100 km/h). The figures may be different in other countries. All

Tyre pressures

The sticker with the tyre pressure values can be found on the inside of the

tank flap. The tyre pressure values given there are for cold tyres. The slightly

Snow chains

Snow chains may be fitted only to the front wheels. Chains may be used on

the following tyres 155/80 R 13; 165/70 R 14 and 185/80 R 14.

Consult the chapter “wheels” of this manual.

Wheel bolts

After the wheels have been changed, the tightening torque of the wheel bolts

should be checked as soon as possible with a torque wrench ⇒

ening torque for steel and alloy wheels is 120 Nm.

WARNING

•

Check the tyre pressure at least once per month. Correct tyre pressure

is very important. If the tyre pressure is too high or too low, there is an

increased danger of accidents, particularly at high speeds.

•

If the torque of the wheel bolts is too low, they could loosen whilst the

vehicle is in motion. Risk of accident! If the tightening torque is too high,

the wheel bolts and threads could be damaged.

Note

We recommend that you ask your Authorised Service Centre for information

about appropriate wheel, tyre and snow chain size.
