2.
the information is easy to read;
3.
in a display where information is provided on an electronic screen, the screen size shall be at least 25 cm × 32 cm (17 inches). The information may be shown using scroll techniques;

the passenger car models are grouped and listed separately according to fuel type (e.g. petrol or diesel etc.). Within each fuel type, models are ranked in order of increasing CO 2 emissions, with the model with the lowest official fuel consumption being placed at the top of the list;
5.
for each passenger car model in the list the make, the numerical value of the official fuel consumption and the official specific emissions of CO 2 are given. The value of the official fuel consumption is expressed in either litres per 100 kilometres (l/100 km), kilometres per litre (km/l), or an appropriate combination of these, and is quoted to one decimal place. The official specific emissions of CO 2 are quoted to the nearest whole number in grams per kilometre (g/km).
Such values may be expressed in different units (gallons and miles) to the extent compatible with the provisions of Directive 80/181/EEC.
6.
