●
V
ehic
l
e identification number (chassis
number).
●
Vehicle type, engine power, gearbox type.
●
Engine and gearbox code, paint number,
interior equipment.
●
Optional extras, PR numbers.
These data are also provided in the Mainte-
nance Programme.
Type plate
The type plate is visible when the driver door
is opened, on the lower part of the strut. Ve-
hicles for certain export countries do not
have a type plate.
The manufacturer's type plate contains the
following data:
●
Gross vehicle weight
●
Maximum authorised weight of vehicle and
trailer
●
Maximum gross front axle weight
●
Maximum rear axle weight
Information on fuel consumption
The consumption and emission details
sho
wn on the
v
ehicle data sticker differ from
one vehicle to another.
The fuel consumption, CO
2
emissions and ac-
tual kerb weight of the vehicle are noted on
the vehicle data sticker.
The fuel consumption and emissions figures
given are based on the vehicle weight cate-
gory, which is determined according to the
engine/gearbox combination and the equip-
ment fitted.
The consumption and emission figures are
calculated in accordance with the EC test re-
quirements 1999/100/EC. These test re-
quirements specify a realistic test method
based on normal everyday driving.
The following test conditions are applied:
Urban cycle
The urban cycle starts with an engine
cold start. City driving is then simulated.
Extra urban
cycle
In the extra urban cycle simulation the
vehicle frequently accelerates and
brakes in all gears, as in normal every-
day driving. The road speed ranges from
0 to 120 km/h (0 to 75 mph).
Total con-
sumption
The average total consumption is calcu-
lated with a weighting of around 37% for
the urban cycle and 63% for the extra ur-
ban cycle.
CO
2
emis-
sions
The exhaust gases are collected during
both driving cycles to calculate carbon
dioxide emissions. The gas composition
is then analysed to evaluate the CO
2
content and other emissions.
Note
●
Actua
l consumption may vary from quoted
test values, depending on personal driving
style, road and traffic conditions, the weather
and the vehicle condition.
●
Fuel consumption and CO
2
values can vary
depending on the vehicle's tyres.
Weights
Kerb weight refers to the basic model with a
f
uel
t
ank filled to 90% capacity and without
optional extras. The figure quoted includes
75 kg to allow for the weight of the driver.
Special versions, optional equipment fittings
or retro-fitting accessories will increase the
weight of the vehicle

WARNING
●
Plea
se note that the centre of gravity may
shift when transporting heavy objects; this
may affect vehicle handling and lead to an ac-
cident. Always adjust your speed and driving
style to suit road conditions and require-
ments.
●
Never exceed the gross axle weight rating
or the gross vehicle weight rating. If the per-
missible axle load or the permissible total
weight is exceeded, the driving characteris-
tics of the vehicle may change, leading to ac-
cidents, injuries and damage to the vehicle.
