New tires or wheels
Audi recommends having all work
on tires or wheels performed by
an authorized Audi dealer or au­
thorized Audi Service Facility.
These facilities have the proper
knowledge and are equipped with
the required tools and replace­
ment parts.
... New tires do not yet have the
optimum adhesion properties.
Drive carefully and at moderate
speeds for the first 350 miles
(500 km) with new tires.
... use tires of the same construc­
tion, size (rolling circumference)
and as close to the same tread
pattern as possible on all four
wheels.
... Do not replace tires individually .
At
least replace both tires on the
same axle at the same time.
Wheel s
... Audi recommends that you use
Audi Original equipment tires. If
you would like to use different
tires, please note that the tires
may perform differently even if
they are the same size¢,&..
... If you would like to equip your
vehicle with a tire/rim combina­
tion that is different from what
was installed at the factory, con­
sult with an authorized Audi
dealer or authorized Audi Service
Facility
before making a pur­
chase¢,&..
The spare tire* is different from
the regular tires installed on the
vehicle -for example, if winter
tires or wide tires are installed -
then only use the spare tire* tem­
porarily in case of emergency and
drive carefully while it is in use. It
should be replaced with a regular
tire as soon as possible.
On all wheel drive vehicles, all
four wheels must be equipped
with tires that are the same brand
and have the same construction
and tread pattern so that the
drive system is not damaged by
different tire speeds. For this rea­
son, in case of emergency, only
use a spare tire* that is the same ..

The correct tire pressure for tires
mounted
in the factory and for
the spare tire* is indicated on a La­
bel. The
Label is Located on the B­
pillar ¢fig. 194, ¢fig. 195.
Use the tire pressure specified for
a normal vehicle load when
the
vehicle is partially loaded ¢ table
on
page 262. If driving the vehi­
cle when fully loaded, you
must
260
increase the tire pressure to the
maximum specified pressure¢.&..
Checking/correcting tire
pressure
•Check the tire pressure at least
once per month and also check it
before every long drive.
•Always check the tire pressure
when
the tires are cold. Do not
reduce the pressure if it increas­
es when the tires are warm.
•Check the Label¢ fig. 195 for
the correct tire pressure based
on vehicle
Load.
•Correct the tire pressure if nec­
essary .
•Vehicles with Tire Pressure Mon­
itoring System*: store the modi­
fied tire pressure
in the Infotain­
ment system¢ page 269.
•Check the pressure in the emer­
gency tire*/spare tire*. Always
maintain
the maximum temper­
ature that is specified for the
tire.
A WARNING
r-=
Always adapt the tire pressure
to your driving style and vehicle
load.
-Overloading can lead
to loss of
vehicle control and increase .,.

ability to stop on wet pavement as measured un­
der controlled conditions on specified govern­
ment test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire
marked
C may have poor traction performance
c) .&..
Tempera ture
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B,
and C, representing the tire's resistance to the
generation of heat and its ability to dissipate
heat when tested under controlled conditions on
a specified indoor laboratory
test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause
the mate­
r ial of
the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life,
and excess i
ve temperature can lead to sudden
tire failur e
c) .&..
The grade C corresponds to a leve l of perform ­
ance which all passenger car tires
must meet un­
der
the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
No. 109. Grades Band A represent higher levels
of performance on
the laboratory test wheel than
the minimum required by law.
A WARNING
The traction grade assigned to this tire is
based on straight-ahead braking traction
tests, and does not include acceleration, cor­
nering, hydroplaning or peak traction charac­
teristics.
&_WARNING
-1
The temperature grade for this tire is estab-
lished for a t
ire that is properly inflated and
not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinfla­
tion, or excessive loading, either separately or
in combination, can cause heat buildup and
possible t
ire failure.
&_WARNING
Temperature grades apply to tires that are
properly inflated and not over or under inflat­
ed.
Wheel s
Tire pressure monitoring
system
CD General notes
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and inflat ­
ed to
the inflation pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or
tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has
tires
of a different size than the size indicated on
the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure la­
bel, you shou ld determine
the proper tire infla­
tion pressure for those tires).
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been
equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure tell­
tale when one or more of your tires
is significant­
ly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire
pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and
check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate
them
to the proper pressure. Driving on a signifi ­
cantly under-inflated tire causes
the tire to over­
heat and can lead to tire failure . Under-inflation
also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life,
and may affect
the vehicle's handling and stop­
ping ability .
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it
is the driver's re­
spo nsibility
to maintain correct tire pressure,
even if under-inflation has
not reached the level
to trigger
illumination of the TPMS low tire pres­
sure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS
malfunction indicator to indicate when the sys­
tem is not operating properly. The TPMS mal­
function
indicator is combined with the low tire
pressure telltale. When the system detects a
malfunction,
the telltale will flash for approxi­
mately one minute and then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence
will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the mal­
function exists.
When
the malfunction indicator is illuminated,
the system may not be able to detect or signal
low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions
may occur for a variety of reasons, including
the ""'

installation of replacement or alternate tires or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPM S
from functioning properly. Always check the
TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or
more ti
res or whee ls on your veh icle to ensure
that the replacement or alternate tires and
wheels
allow the TPMS to conti nue to functi on
p roper ly .
If the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
indicator appears
The tire pressure indicator in the instrument
cluster informs you if the tire pressure is too low
or
if there is a system malfunction.
Using the ABS sensors, th e tire p ressure monitor­
i n g
system compares the tire tread circumfer­
ence and vibra tion char
acteristi cs of the individ u­
al tires.
If the pressure changes in one or more
tires,
this i s indicated in the Infotainment system
d isp lay
with an ind icator light RI and a message .
If only one tire is affected , the location of that
tire will be ind icated.
The tire pressures must be stored in the Infotain­
ment system again each time the pressu res
change (switching between partial and full load
pressure) or
after changing or replacing a tire on
your veh icle ¢ page 269. The tire pressure moni­
toring system only monitors the tire pressure you
have stored. Refe r
to the tire pressure label for
the recommended tire pressure for your veh icl e
¢page260, fig.195.
Tire tread circumference and vibration character­
istics
can change and cause a tire pressure warn­
i n g if:
-
the tire p ressure in one or more tires is too low.
-
the tire has structural damage .
