nize the load condition of your vehicle.
The effectiveness of the tire pressu re monitor­
ing system w ill be impaired if you store nor­
mal load pressures but then operate the vehi ­
cle at its maximum load¢,& .
See the illustration ¢
fig. 142 for the location
of the label on driver's side B-pillar (color of
the actual labe l and exact location on the ve­
hicle will vary slig htly) .
Note that the following table is accurate at
the time of go ing to press and is subject to change.
In the event of discrepancies, the tire
pressure label (on driver's side B-pi llar) always
takes precedence.

wall.
The correct tire pressure for the spore wheel i s
located on a label on the driver's side B-pillar.
Because technical changes may be made to
ve hicle equipment during the model year, a l­
ways compare the tire size designation on the tire press
ure label on your vehicle with the
tires on your vehicle. Make sure that the tire
s ize info rmat ion on the vehicle label is the
same as the size of the tires on the veh icle .
This is especially important if the vehicle be-
long s to someone e lse o r you boug ht the ..,.

204 Tire s and wheel s
-If the tire pressure is too low or too high,
the tires w ill wear prematurely and the
vehicle will not handle well.
- If the tire is not flat and you do not have
to change a wheel immed iately, drive at
reduced speed to the nearest service sta­
t ion to check the tire pressure and add
air as required.
(D Note
Dr iving without valve stem caps can cause
damage to the t ire va lves. To prevent this,
always make sure that facto ry installed
valve stem caps on all wheels a re securely
mounted on the valve.
@ For the sake of the environment
Underinf lated tires will a lso increase the
fue l cons umption .
Tires and vehicle load limits
There are limits to the amount of load or
weight that any veh icle and any t ire can c arry.
A vehicle that is overloaded w ill not h andle
well and is more difficult to stop. Over load ing
can not on ly lead to loss of vehicle contro l,
but can a lso damage important parts of the
vehicle and can lead to sudden tire failure, in­
cluding a blowout and sudden deflation that
can cause the veh icle to crash .
Your safety and that of your passengers a lso
depends on making sure that load limits are
not exceeded. Vehicle load includes everybody
and eve ryth ing in and on the vehicle . These
l oad limits a re tech nica lly refe rred to as the
ve hicl e's
Gros s Vehicl e W eight Rat ing
("GVWR").
The "GVWR" includes the we ight of the basic
vehicle, all factory installed accesso ries , a fu ll
tank of f uel , oi l, coo lant and othe r fluids plus
maximum load. The maxim um load includes
the number o f passengers that the vehi cle is
intended to carry ("seating capacity") with an
assumed weig ht of 150 lbs (68 kg) for each
passenger at a designated seating position and the total weight of any luggage
in the ve ­
hicle .
T he
Gro ss Axle Weight Rating (" GAWR") is
the max imum load th at can be applied at e ach
of the vehicle's two axles .
T he Gross Vehicle Weight Rat ing and the
G ross Ax le Weight Ra ting are listed on the
sa fety comp liance s ticke r label lo cated on the
driver's side B-pillar. Your Audi has 4 seat ing
positions, 2 in the front and 2 in the rear fo r
total seat ing capac ity of 4. Each seating posi­
t ion has a safety be lt c>
page 100 , Safety
bel ts.
The fact that there is an upper limit to yo ur
vehicle's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating means
that the total weight of whatever is being car­
ried in the vehicle is lim ited. The more passen­
gers in the vehicle or passengers who are
heavier than the standard we ights assumed
mean that less we ight can be carried as lug­
gage.
The tire pressure label on your Aud i also lists
the max imum combi ned weig ht of all of the
occupants and luggage or other cargo t hat
t h e vehi cle can carry . Fo r th e lo cat ion of the
la bel c>page200,
fig.1 42.
_& WARNING ~
Overloading a vehicle can c ause loss o f ve-
h icle cont ro l, a c rash or other accident, se ­
rious pe rsonal injury, and even death.
- Ca rrying more we igh t tha n your veh icle
was des igned to carry wi ll prevent the
veh icle from handling proper ly and in­
crease the risk of the loss of ve hicle con­
trol.
- The brakes on a vehicle that has been
overloaded may not be able to stop the
veh icle w ith in a safe distance .
- Tires on a vehicle that has been over load­
ed can fail s uddenly , incl uding a blowout
a nd sudden deflation, causing loss of
control and a crash .

Determining correct load limit
Use the example below to cal­
culate the total weight of the
passengers and luggage or oth­
er things that you plan to trans­
port so that you can make sure
that your vehicle will not be overloaded.
Steps for Determining
Correct Load Limit
1. Locate the statement "THE
COMBINED WEIGHT OF OC­
CUPANTS AND CARGO
SHOULD NEVER EXCEED XXX KG OR XXX LBS"on your vehi­
cle's placard (tire inflation pressure label)
¢ page 200,
fig . 142 .
2. Determine the combined
weight of the driver and pas­ sengers that will be riding in
your vehicle .
3 . Subtract the combined
weight of the driver and pas­ sengers from
"XXX" kilo ­
grams or
"XXX" pounds
shown on the sticker
¢ page 200 , fig. 142.
4. The resulting figure equals
the available amount of car­
go and luggage load capaci­
ty. For example, if the
"XXX"
amount equals 1400 lbs.
Tires and wheels
and there will be five 150 lbs. passengers in your vehi­
cle, the amount of available
cargo and luggage load ca­ pacity is 650 lbs. (1400-7 50
(5
X 150) = 650 lbs.)
5 . Determine the combined
weight of luggage and cargo
being loaded on the vehicle .
That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo
and luggage load capacity
calculated in Step
4.
6. If your vehicle will be towing
a trailer, load from your trail­
er will be transferred to your
vehicle. Consult this manual
to determine how this re­duces the available cargo
and luggage load capacity of
your vehicle.
,... Check the tire sidewall
(¢ page 207, fig. 146) to de­
termine the designated load rating for a specific tire.

designated seating position) and luggage
weight.
Gross Axle Weight Rating
The G ross Axle Weight Rating is the maximum
l oad that can be applied at each axle of the
veh icle ¢.&. .
Vehicle capacit y weight
The vehicle capac ity we ight (max. load) is list­
ed either on the dr iver's side B-pillar or inside
the fuel filler flap.
Roof weight
The max imum perm issible roof weight is 165
lb (7 5 k g). The roof weight is made up of the
weight of the roof rack system and the weight
of the object being transported
¢ page 61,
Loading the roof rack .
.&, WARNING
- T he actual Gross Axle Weight Rat ing at
the front and rear axles shou ld not ex­
ceed the permiss ible weights, and their
combination must not exceed the Gross
Vehicle Weight Rat ing.
- Exceeding permissib le weight ratings can
result in vehicle damage, accidents and
personal injury.
CD Note
- The vehicle capacity weight figures apply
when the load is distributed evenly in the
vehicle (passengers and luggage). When
transporting a heavy load in the luggage
compartment, carry the load as near to
the rear axle as possib le so that the veh i­
cle's handling is not impa ired.
- Do not exceed the maximum permissible
axle loads or the max imum gross vehicle
weight. Always remember that the vehi­
cle's handling will be affected by the ex­
tra load. Therefore, adjust you r speed ac ­
cord ingly.
- Always observe loca l regu lations.

Dimensions
The specifications refer to the basic model.
Differences may occur depending on the mod­
el type and options ordered, for example, tire
sizes.
CD Note
When driving up steep ramps, on rough roads, over curbs, etc. it is important to re­
member that some parts of your vehicle,
such as spoilers or exhaust system compo­ nents, may be close to the ground . Be
careful not to damage them .
