Required for utility, regular cab, and crew cab vehicles. |

Fuel Consumption Label
From 1 January 2004, ADR 81/01 requires that all new domestic vehicles displayed
for sale have a label attached to the windscreen similar to that shown above.
The Comparative fuel consumption figure and Comparative Carbon Dioxide emissions
value quoted are the results of tests carried out in accordance with the ECE R101/00.
This new Australian standard for fuel consumption and Carbon Dioxide emission testing
harmonises our emission and consumption standards with those recognized internationally.
Each vehicle is tested under identical conditions. The tests therefore enable a comparison
to be made between vehicles.
The label should be removed from the windscreen immediately prior to the vehicle
being delivered to the owner.
