& WARNING
Sudden tire failure can lead to loss of control , a crash and serious
personal injury!
• Never drive a vehicle when the tread on any tire is worn down
to the wear indicators.
• Worn tires are a safety hazard , they do not grip well on wet
roads and increase your risk of "hydroplaning" and loss of control.
• Always keep chemicals that can cause tire damage , such as
grease , oil , gasoline and brake fluid away from tires .
• Tires age even if they are not being used and can fail suddenly,
espe cially at high speeds . Tires that are more than 6 years old can
only be used in an emergency and then with special care and at
lower speeds .
• Never mount used tires on your vehicle if you are not sure of
their "previous history ." Old used tires may have been damaged
even though the damage cannot be seen that can lead to sudden
tire failure and loss of vehicle control. •

& WARNING (continued)
• Never drive with run-flat tires if heat build-up causes the tire to
give off smoke .
• Never drive with run-flat tires if the vehicle shakes or vibrates
severely.
• Never drive with a run-flat tire that develops sidewall cracks or
other damage while in use .
0 Note
Run-flat tires have specia l characteristics and requirements, that are
very different from conventional tires. Run-flat tires require special
rims for run-flat use and cannot be used on conventional wheel
rims.
[ i] Tips
• I f you are not able to continue driving with run -flat tires, please
seek professional assistance.
• Please contact your authorized Audi dealer or Audi of America,
Inc . if you have questions about tires and rims. •
Applies to vehic les: with Run-flat t ires
Driving with run-flat tires
Handling characteristics change when tire pressure is
low.
Driving on tires with low tire pressure changes the way a
vehicle handles, particularly when cornering and braking.
The handling characteristics of run-flat tires do not seem to
change a lot even when driving on low pressure or in the
run-flat mode. Nevertheless you must still take special
precautions when operating a vehicle on run-flat tires when
tire pressure is low or the tire(s) is flat: The
Electronic Stabilization Program (ESP) must be
switched on.
- Never drive faster than 50 mph (80 km/h)~
&-
Plan ahead when driving and anticipate what you will
have to do considering traffic and road conditions up
ahead.
- Accelerate carefully.
- Avoid unnecessary and sudden steering and braking
maneuvers.
Reduce your speed in plenty of time before intersections,
curves and other places where you may have to react
quickly.
Please see:=> page 258, "When it is not possible to continue driving,
even with run -flat tires?"
Handling characteristics change when driving with
low air pressure or with flat tires even with special run
flat tires
A low pressure or flat front tire affects vehicle handling characteris
tics by pulling the vehicle slightly to the side where the tire is
mounted and reduces braking performance.
A low pressure or flat rear tire also affects driving characteristics by
pulling to the side where the tire is mounted and also reduces
braking performance. The effect on vehicle handling is most notice
able when driving around curves.
& WARNING
Changed vehicle handling characteristics when driving in the run
flat mode can cause loss of vehicle control, a crash and serious personal injury. .,,,
