circumference as the regular
tires.
II WARNING -I
-Only use tire/rim combina­
tions and suitable wheel bolts
that have been approved by
Audi. Otherwise,
damage to
the vehicle and an accident
could result.
-For technical reasons, it is not
possible to use tires from oth­
er vehicles -in some cases,
you cannot even use tires from
the same vehicle model.
-Make sure that the tires you
select have enough clearance
to the vehicle. Replacement
tires should not be chosen
simply based on the nominal
size, because tires with a dif­
ferent construction can differ
greatly even if they are the
same size. If there is not
enough clearance, the tires or
the vehicle can be damaged
and this can reduce driving
safety and increase the risk of
an accident.
-Only use tires that are more
than 6 years old when abso­
lutely necessary and drive
carefully
when doing so.
258
-Do not use run-flat tires on
your vehicle. Using them when
not permitted can lead to ve­
hicle
damage or accidents.
-If you install wheel covers on
the vehicle, make sure they al­
low
enough air circulation to
cool the brake system. If they
do not, this could increase the
risk of an accident.
Tire wear/damage
Fig. 193 Tire profile : treadwear indica­
tor
Tire wear
Check the tires regularly for wear.
-Inflation pressure that is too low
or high can increase tire wear
considerably.
-Driving quickly
through curves,
rapid
acceleration and heavy
braking
increase tire wear.
-Have an authorized Audi dealer
or authorized Audi Service Facili­
ty check the wheel alignment if
there is unusual wear.

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.
