Further information on the official fuel consumption and the official, specific CO2 emissions for new passenger cars can be found in the publication "Leitfaden über den Kraftstoffverbrauch und die CO2-Emissionen neuer Personenkraftwagen" [fuel consumption and CO2 emissions in new passenger cars], which is available free of charge from all showrooms and from Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH.

Figures in brackets for automatic transmission.

[2] Figures for rated output and rated torque according to Directive 80/1269/EEC in the currently applicable version.

[3] 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 are not based on an individual model and do not constitute part of the product offer; they are provided solely for purposes of comparison between different vehicle models.

[4] 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.
