Gasoline additives
App lies to vehicles: with gasoline engine
A major concern among many auto manufac­
turers is carbon deposit build-up caused by
the type of gasoline you use.
A lthough gasoline grades differ from one
manufacturer to another , they have certa in
things in common. All gasoli ne g rades contain
substances that can ca use depos its to co llec t
on vi tal engine parts, suc h as fu el injectors
and inta ke valves . Although most gasoline
b rands include addi tive s to kee p eng ine and
f u e l sys tems clean, they are no t eq ually e ffec ­
tive.

Diesel fuel
Applies to vehicles: wit h diese l eng ine
Always use ULSD (Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel) sul ­
fur content 15 ppm or less .
The ULSD (Ultra Low Sulfur Diese l) meets the
ASTM-D-97S (grade 2).
Die sel fuel with a higher con cent ration than
ULSD-Diesel No. 2 ASTM D9 75 and Bio-die­
sel with a higher concentrat ion than 5

being dispensed before filling up you r vehicle.
Se rv ice stat ions offering Diese l fue l are gener ­
ally located on t ruck routes or major high­
ways. Directories of Diesel f uel stat io ns are

Some states in the USA req uire permits to
purchase Diesel fuel. Check with your State
Motor Vehicle Department .
Diesel f uel may not be ava ila bl e outside t he
U SA and Canada. Be s ure to check before trav ­
eling to other countries.
Winter operation
At tempe ratu res be low 20° F (- 7° C), Diesel
fuel No. 2 loses its fluidity due to wax sepa ra­

operation of your vehicle poss ible with D iese l

If you expect temperatures below 5° F
( - 15° C) ask your fue l dea ler whether thei r

248 Tire s and whee ls
- Never mount used tires on yo ur vehicle if
you are not sure of their "previous histo­
ry." Old used tires may have been dam­
aged even though the damage cannot be
seen that can lead to sudden tire failure
and loss of vehicle control.
- If you notice unusual vibration or if the
vehicle pulls to one side when driving, al­
ways stop as soon as it is safe to do so and check the wheels and tires for dam­
age.

Please note that summer and winter tires
are designed for the cond itions that are
Glossary of tire and loading terminology
Acces sory weight
means the comb ined we ight (in excess of
those standard items which may be rep laced)
of au toma tic tra nsmission, power steer ing,
power brakes, power windows, power seats,
radio, and heater, to the extent that these
items are availab le as factory -installed equip­
ment (whether installed or not) .
Aspect ratio
means the ratio of the he ight to the w idth of
the tire in percent . Numbers of 55 or lower in­
dicate a low sidewall for improved steering re­
sponse and better overall handling on dry pavement .
Bead
means the part of the ti re that is made of
steel wires, wrapped or reinforced by ply cords
and that is shaped to fit the rim.
Bead s eparation
means a b reakdown of the bond between
components in the bead.
Cord
means the strands forming the plies in the
tire . typica
l in those seasons. Audi recommends
using winter tires during the winter
months. Low temperatures signif icant ly
decrease the e lasticity of summer tires,
which affects tract ion and brak ing ability.
If summer tires are used in very cold tem­ peratures, cracks ca n form on the tread
bars, resulting in permanent tire damage
that can cause loud driving no ise and un­
balanced t ires. Audi is not responsible for
th is type of damage .
Cold tire inflation pre ssure
means the t ire p ressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer fo r a tire of a des ignated
s ize that has not bee n driven for more than a
coup le of miles (k ilometers) at low speeds in
the three hour period before the tire pressure
is measured or adjusted.
Curb weight
means the we ight of a motor ve hicle w ith
standard equipment including the max imum
capacity of fuel, oil, and coolant, air condi ­
tioning and additional weight of optiona l
equipment.
Extra load tire
means a t ire design to operate at higher loads
and at h igher inflation pressures than the cor­
responding standard tire . Extra load tires may
be identified as "XL", "x l" , "EXTRA LOAD", or
"RF" on the sidewall.
Gross A xle Weight Rating ("GAWR ")
means the lo ad -carry ing capacity of a s ingle
axle system , measured at the tire-ground in­
terfaces.
Gr oss Vehicle Weight Rating ("GVWR ")
means the maximum total loaded we ight of
t h e vehi cle. .,.
