Vehicle actual fuel consumption and CO2 emissions will depend on the

driving behaviours as well as other non-technical factors such as traffic

condition and vehicle condition. CO2 is the main greenhouse gas responsible

for global warming.

1. The values declared above are the extract of the results that have been obtained in a mandatory emission test specified in Rule 115 of Central Motor Vehicle Rule 1989 under controlled conditions using a reference fuel at an agency authorized by Rule 126 of the said Rules. The values obtained by users will differ from these values due to infinite variables such as driving habits, road and traffic conditions, fuel quality, maintenance practices, loading pattern, ambient conditions, and usual engineering tolerances on components and so on.

2. The comparative band indicated on the label is based the data received by SIAM till shortly before this label was printed. Any subsequent addition and removal of data will be considered in the next printing of label. For further details please refer SIAM website www.siam.in

3. The values declared above for this vehicle have been obtained on one of the variants of the displayed make/model. Users may obtain different values on other variants of this make/model.

4. The vehicle manufacturer and its authorized dealers shall not be liable for any difference in fuel consumption values due to any of the aforesaid variables and no claim shall lie thereon.

5. The information provided above for this vehicle is the property of the aforementioned vehicle manufacturer. This is for user information only and may not be quoted without prior permission of the vehicle manufacturer.

6. The values for this vehicle indicated herein above are subject to change without notice due to changes in the parts related to fuel economy and such change can be made by vehicle manufacturer at its own discretion, without notice.

7. The accuracy or correctness of the values is not undertaken or guaranteed when not tested under identical conditions.
