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.

Raising the vehicle
Lifting with workshop hoist and with floor
jack
The vehicle may only be li~ed at the lifting
points illustrated.

.,. Read and heed WARNING¢_&,
.,. locate lifting points ¢ fig. 220 and¢ fig. 221.
.,. Adjust lifting arms of workshop hoist or floor
jack
to match vehicle lifting points.
.,. Insert a rubber pad between the floor jack/
workshop hoist and the lifting points.
The vehicle jack mode*
must be activated so that
the automatic adjustment of the Adaptive Air
Suspension*
does not make it more d ifficult to
raise the vehicle with the floor jack.
If you must lift your vehicle with a f loor jack to
work underneath, be s ure the ve hicle is safely
s
upported on stands i ntended for this purpos e .
Front lifting point
The lifting point is located on the floor pan rein
forcement about at the same level as the jack

Lifting with vehicle jack
Refer
to¢ page 280 .
..&. WARNING
-To reduce the r isk of serious injury and vehi
cle damage.
-Always lift the vehicle only at the special
workshop
hoist and floor jack lift points il
lustrated ¢fig. 220 and ¢fig. 221.
-Failure to lift the vehicle at these points
could cause
the vehicle to tilt or f all from
a lift ifthere is a change in vehicle weigh t
distribution
and balance. This might hap
pen, for example, when heavy compo
nents such as the engine block or trans
mission are removed.
-
When removing heavy components like
these, anchor vehicle to hoist or add corre
sponding weights to maintain the center of
gravity. Otherwise, the vehicle might tilt or
slip off the hoist, causing serious personal
injury .
CD Note
-Be aware of the following points before lift
ing the vehicle:
- The vehicle
should never be lifted or
jacked up from underneath the engine oil
pan, the transmission housing, the front
or rear axle or the body side members.
This could lead to serious damage.
-To avoid damage to the underbody or
chassis frame, a rubber pad must be in
serted between the floor jack and the lift
points.
- Before driving over a work shop hoist,
check that the vehicle weight does not
exceed the permissible lifting capacity of
the hoist. ..,.

@ 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 possible so that the vehicle's
handling is not impaired.
-Do not exceed the maximum permissible
axle loads or the maximum gross vehicle
weight. Always remember that the vehicle's
handling will be affected by the extra load.
Therefore, adjust your speed accordingly.
