3 Measurement items
3.1 Measurement of fuel consumption in the driving cycle specified in GB 18352.
3.2 Measurement of fuel consumption in the driving at a constant speed of 90 km/h
3.3 Measurement of fuel consumption in the driving at a constant speed of 120 km/h For the vehicles driving with a maximum speed of less than 120 km/h, the measurement shall be carried out at the constant maximum speed by reference to relevant provisions.
4 Measurement conditions
4.1 Vehicle under measurement
4.1.1 The vehicle under measurement requires no running-in during the measurement specified in Sub-clause 3.1. Prior to the measurements specified in Sub-clauses 3.2 and 3.3, the vehicle shall be subjected to running-in for at least 3000 km.
4.1.2 Engine and vehicle controls shall be adjusted as required by the manufacturer. In particular, the idle speed device (the rotational speed and CO content in the exhaust gas), the starter and the emission control system shall be adjusted.
4.1.3 In order to avoid the formation of the mixture due to accidental intake, the sealing of the intake system of the vehicle under measurement shall be checked.
4.1.4 The performance of the vehicle under measurement shall be in accordance with the requirements of the manufacturer and such vehicle shall run normally and be smooth in cold start and hot start.
4.1.5 Prior to the measurement, the vehicle shall be placed at an ambient temperature of 20℃~30℃ for at least 6 h, until the engine oil temperature and coolant temperature is ±2℃ of the ambient temperature. The vehicle shall be measured within 30 h after the operation at normal temperature.
