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 passengers
from
"XXX" kilograms or "XXX"
pounds shown on the sticker
¢page 260, fig. 194.
4. The resulting figure equals the
available amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity.
For ex­
ample, if
the "XXX" amount
equals 1400 lbs and there will
be five 1
SO lbs passengers in
your vehicle, the amount of
available cargo and luggage
load capacity is 650 lbs
(1400-750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs)
5. Determine
the combined
weight
of luggage and cargo
being loaded on
the vehicle.
That weight may
not safely ex­
ceed
the available cargo and
luggage load capacity calculat­
ed
in Step 4.
6.
If your vehicle will be towing a
trailer, load from your trailer
will be transferred
to your ve­
hicle.
Consult this manual to
determine how this reduces
the available cargo and lug-
264
gage load capacity of your vehi­
cle.
~check the tire sidewall
(c:>page 250, fig. 192) to deter­
mine
the designated load rating
for a specific tire.
Wheel bolts and rims
Wheel bolts
Wheel bolts must be clean and loosen/tighten
easily.
Rims
Rims with a bolted rim ring* or with bolted wheel
covers* consist of multiple pieces. These compo­
nents were bolted together using special bolts
and a special procedure. You must not repair or
disassemble them c::> .&..
&. WARNING
Wheel bolts that are tightened or repaired in­
correctly can become loose and result in loss
of vehicle control, which increases the risk of
an accident. For the correct tightening specifi­
cation, refer to c::> page 2 78, After changing a
wheel .
-Always keep the wheel bolts and the
threads in the wheel hub clean and free of
grease.
-
Only use wheel bolts that fit the rim.
- Always have
damaged rims repaired by an
authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi
Service Facility. Never
repair or disassemble
rims yourself, because this increases the risk
of an accident.
· Winter tires
Winter tires significantly improve the vehicle's
handling
when driving in winter conditions. Be­
cause of their construction (width, compound,
tread pattern), summer tires provide less trac­
tion on ice and snow .
.,. Use winter tires on all four wheels.

Emergency situations
General
This chapter is intended for trained emergency
crews and working personnel who have the nec­
essary tools and equipment to perform these
operations.
Starting by pushing or
towing
CD Note
Vehicles with an automatic transmission can­
not be started by pushing or towi ng.
Starting with jumper
cables
If necessary, the engine con be started by con­
necting it to the battery of another vehicle.
If the engine should fail to start because of a dis­
charged or weak battery, the battery can be con­
nected to the battery of another vehicle, using a
pair of jumper cables to start the engine.
Jumper cables
Use only jumper cables of sufficiently large cross
section to carry the starter current safely. Refer
to the manufacturer's specifications.
Use only jumper cables with insulated terminal
clamps which are distinctly marked:
plus(+) cable in most cases co lored red
minus(-) cable in most cases colored black.
A WARNING _,
Batteries contain electricity, acid, and gas.
Any of these can cause very serious or fatal in·
jury. Follow the instructions below for safe
handling of your vehicle's battery.
-Always shield your eyes and avoid leaning
over
the battery whenever possible.
- A discharged
battery can freeze at tempera­
tures just below 32 °F (0 °C). Before con­
necting a jumper cable, you must thaw the
288
frozen battery completely, otherwise it
could explode.
-
Do not allow battery acid to contact eyes or
skin. Flush any contacted area with water
immediately.
-
Improper use of a booster battery to start a
vehicle may
cause an explosion.
- Vehicle
batteries generate explosive gases.
Keep sparks, flame and lighted cigarettes
away from batteries.
-Do not try to jump start any vehicle with a
low acid level
in the battery.
-The voltage of th e booster battery must also
have a 12-volt rating. The capacity (Ah) of
the booster battery should not be lower
than that of the discharged battery. Use of
batteries of different voltage or substantial­
ly different "Ah" rating may cause an exp lo­
sion and personal injury.
- Never
charge a frozen battery. Gas trapped
in the ice may cause an explosion.
- Never
charge or use a battery that has been
frozen. The battery case may have be weak­
ened.
-Use of batteries of different voltage or sub­
stantially different capacity (Ah) rating may
cause an explosion and injury. The capacity
(Ah)
of the booster battery should not be
lower than that of the discharged battery.
- Before you check anything in the engine
compartment, always read and heed all
WARNINGS
~page 236.
CD Note
- Applying a higher voltage booster battery
will cause expensive damage to sensitive
electronic
components, such as control
units, relays, radio, etc.
-There must be no electrical contact between
the vehicles as otherwise current could al­
ready start to flow as soon as the positive
( +
)terminals are connected.
Tips
T he discharged battery must be properly con-
nected to the vehicle's electrical system. ~

CD Note
Improper hook-up of jumper cables can ruin
the generator.
- Always
connect P O SITIVE( +) to POSITIVE
(+),and N EGATIVE( -) to NEGATIVE( -)
ground post of the battery manager control
u
nit.
-
Check that a ll screw p lugs on the battery
cells are screwed in firmly . If not, tighten
plugs p rior to connecting clamp on negative
b at
tery te rminal.
- Pl
ease note that the procedure fo r con nect­
i ng a
jumper cable as describ ed above ap­
plies specifica lly
to the case of yo ur vehicle
being
jump started . When you are giv ing a
ju
mp start to another vehicle , d o not con­
n e
ct the negative(-) c a ble to the negative
(-) terminal o n the dis ch a rged battery @
¢ fig . 214. Instead , securely connect the
negative(-) cable to either a solid metal
component that is fir m ly bolted to the en­
gine block or
to the engine bloc k itself. If
the battery that is bei ng cha rged does not
vent to the outside, escaping battery gas
could ignite and exp lode!
Towing with a tow truck
General hints
Your Audi requires special handling for towing .
The follow ing information is to be used by com­
mercia l
tow truck operators who know how to op­
erate their equipment sa fe ly .
- Never tow your Audi. Towing will cause dam­
age to the engine and transmission.
- Never wrap
the safety chains or winch cables
around
the brake lines.
-
To prevent unnecessary damage, your Audi
must be transported with a flat bed truck.
-
To load the vehicle on to the flat bed, use the
towing loop found in the vehicle tools and at­
tach
to the front or rear anchorage
