2016 AUDI S6 height

~ Check and correc t the seating of the snow
chains if necessary after driving a few feet. Fol­
l ow the instructions from the manufacturer .
~ Note the maximum permitted speed when driv­
ing with snow chains. Do not exceed 30 mph
(SO km/h) .
Snow chains not only improve the
driving in win­
ter road cond itions, but also the
braking.
Use of snow chains is on ly permitted with certain
rim/tire combinations due to tec hnical reasons .
Check with an authorized Audi dealer or author­ ized repair facility to see if you may use snow
cha ins.
You must remove the chains when driving on roads that are
free of snow. When roads are free
of snow, snow chains can impair handling and
damage the t ires, and the chains w ill quickly be
destroyed .
A WARNING
Using incorrect snow chains o r installing snow
chains incorrect ly can result in loss of vehicle
c ont rol, w hic h in cr eases the risk of a n acci ­
de nt.
- Snow cha ins can damage the rims/wheel
covers* if the cha ins come into d irect con­
tact wi th them . Remove the whee l cove rs*
first. Use coated snow cha ins.
- Usi ng snow chai ns tha t add more than 0.4
i nch (10.5 mm) of he igh t ca n severely dam­
age the wheel ho usings and othe r vehicle
components .
- Do no t install and use s now chains if there is
a mal funct ion in the adaptive air suspen ­
sion*, because the vehicle height wi ll be
very low. If you d rive with snow chains any­
way, the wheel ho usings and othe r vehicle
components can be severely damaged.
Low aspect ratio tires
Your Aud i is factory -equipped with low aspect ra­
tio tires . These t ires have been tho rough ly tested
and been se lected specifically for yo ur model fo r
Wheel s
their superb performance, road fee l and handling
u nder a variety of driving conditions . Ask your au­
thorized Audi dea le r fo r more detai ls.
T he low aspect rat io o f th ese tires is indicated by
a n umeral of
55 or le ss in the tire's size des igna­
tion . The numera l represents the ratio of the
t ir e's s idewall height in relation to its tread w idth
expressed in percentage. Conventiona l tires have
a he ight/width ratio of 60 or more.
The performance of low-aspect- ratio tires is par­
ticularly sen sitive to imprope r inflat ion pres­
s ure. It is the refore important that low aspect
rat io tires are inflated to the speci fied pre ssure
and that the inflation pressure i s regularly
checked and m aintain ed. Tir e pr essures should
be checked at least once a month and always
b efor e a long trip
~ page 241.
What you can do to avo id tire and rim
damage
Low aspect ratio tires can be damaged more eas i­
ly by impact w ith po tholes, curbs, gullies or
ridges on the road, particularly if the tire is un ­
deri nflated.
In orde r to m in imize the occurrence of impact
damage to t he tires of yo ur vehicle , we recom ­
me nd that you observe the following pre ca u­
t ions:
- Always ma intain recommended inflat ion pres­
sures. Check yo ur tir e pressure every 2,000
m iles (3 ,00 0 k m) and add air if necessary.
- Dr ive ca refully on roads w it h potholes, deep
gullies o r ridges. T he impact from dr iving
t hrough or over such obstacles can damage
your tires. Impac t wi th a curb may a lso ca use
damage to your tires.
- Afte r any impac t, immed iate ly inspect yo ur
t ires or have them inspected by the nearest au ­
thorized A udi dealer. Rep lace a damaged tire as
soon as possible.
- Inspect your tires every 2,000 m iles (3,000 km)
for damage and wear. Damage is not a lways
easy to see. Damage can lead to loss of air and
underinflation, wh ich could eventually cause
tire fa ilure. If you believe that a tire may have
been damaged, replace the tire as soon as pos -
sible . .,.
