A WARNING
Always adapt the tire pressure
to your driving style and vehicle load.
-Overloading can lead to loss of vehicle control and increase
the risk of an accident. Read and follow the important safe­
ty precautions inc:::> page 295,
Tires and vehicle load limits.
-The tire must flex more if the
tire pressure is too low or if
the vehicle speed or load are
too high. This heats the tire up
too much. This increases the
risk of an accident because it
can cause the tire to burst and
result in loss of vehicle con­
trol.
-Incorrect tire pressure in­ creases tire wear and has a
Tire pressure table
Please note that the information
contained in the following table
was correct at the time of print­ ing, and the information is sub­
ject to change . If there are differ­
ences between this information
and the tire pressures specified
on the label on the driver's side 8- pillar, always follow the specifica-
294
negative effect on driving and
braking behavior, which in­
creases the risk of an accident.
(D Note
Replace lost valve caps to re­
duce the risk of damage to the
tire valves.
@ For the sake of the environment
Tire pressure that is too low in­
creases fuel consumption.
(D Tips
Audi recommends using the
tire pressure specified for a normal load c:::>
table on
page 295
or for a full load
when the vehicle is partially
loaded.
tion on the 8-pillar label c:::>
page 293, fig. 267.
Make sure that the tire designa­
tion on your tire matches the des­ ignation on the tire pressure label
and the tire pressure table.
The following table lists recom- mended tire pressures in cold ..

Wheels
sure that load limits are not ex­
ceeded. Vehicle load includes ev­
erybody and everything in and on
the vehicle. These load limits are
technically referred to as the vehi­
cle's
Gross Vehicle Weight Rat­
ing
("GVWR").
The "GVWR" includes the weight
of the basic vehicle, all factory in­
stalled accessories, a full tank of
fuel, oil, coolant and other fluids plus maximum load. The maxi­
mum load includes the number of
passengers that the vehicle is in­
tended to carry ("seating capaci­
ty") with an assumed weight of
150 lbs. (68 kg) for each passen­
ger at a designated seating posi­
tion and the total weight of any luggage in the vehicle. If you tow
a trailer, the weight of the trailer
hitch and the tongue weight of
the loaded trailer must be includ­
ed as part of the vehicle load.
The
Gross Axle Weight Rating
("GAWR") is the maximum load
that can be applied at each of the
vehicle's two axles.
The fact that there is an upper
limit to your vehicle's Gross Vehi­
cle Weight Rating means that the
total weight of whatever is being
296
carried in the vehicle (including
the weight of a trailer hitch and the tongue weight of the loaded
trailer) is limited. The more pas­
sengers in the vehicle or passen­
gers who are heavier than the
standard weights assumed mean
that less weight can be carried as l uggage .
The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
and the Gross Axle Weight Rating
are listed on the safety compli­
ance sticker label located on the
driver's side B-pillar
¢ page 293,
fig. 267.
.&_ WARNING
-
Overloading a vehicle can cause
loss of vehicle control, a crash
or other accident, serious per­
sonal injury, and even death.
-Carrying more weight than
your vehicle was designed to
carry will prevent the vehicle
from handling properly and increase the risk of the loss of
vehicle control.
-The brakes on a vehicle that
has been overloaded may not
be able to stop the vehicle
within a safe distance.

A WARNING
Whee l bolts that a re tightened or repaired in­
co rrectly can become loose and result in loss
o f vehicle control, which increases the risk of
an acc ident. For the correct t ightening specifi­
cat io n, see¢
page 314.
- Always keep the wheel bolts and the
th reads in the whee l hub clean and free of
grease.
- Only use wheel bolts that fit the rim.
- Always have damaged rims repaired by an
autho rized Aud i dealer or authorized Aud i
Service Facility. Never repair or d isassemble
rims yourse lf, because this increases the risk
of an accident .
Winter tires
Winte r ti res s ignificantly improve the veh icle's
handling when d riving i n w inte r condit io n s. Be­
cause of the ir constr uction (width, compound,
t read pattern) , summe r ti res provide less trac ­
tion on ice and snow.
298
.,. Use win ter tires on a ll four wheels .
.. On ly use winter tires that are approved for yo ur
veh icle.
.,. Please note that the maximum permitted
speed may be lower with winter tires¢&_. An
author ized A udi dealer or autho rized Audi Serv ­
ice Fac ility can inform you about the maximum
permitted speed for your t ires .
.,. Check t he tire p ressure afte r insta lling wheels
¢ page 293 .
The effectiveness of wi nter tires is reduced g reat­
l y when the tread is wo rn down to a depth of
0.157 in ( 4 mm). The characte ris tic s of winter
ti res a lso decrease g rea tly as the t ire ages, re­
gard less o f the remaining t read.
_&. WARNING
- Never drive faster than the maximum pe r­
m itted speed for your tires . This could cause
the t ires to heat up too much. This increases
the risk of an accident because it can cause
the t ire to burst .
- Always adapt your driving to the road and
traffic conditions . Drive carefully and reduce
your speed on icy or slippery roads . Even
winter t ires can lose t ract io n on black ice .
@ For the sake of the environment
Reinstall summer tires at the appropr iate
time, because they prov ide better handling
when roads are free of snow and ice. Summer
tires cause less road no ise, tire wear and fuel
consumpt ion.
(i_) Tips
You can also use all season tires instead of
winter tires . Please note that in some coun­
tries where wint er tires are required, o nly
winter tires w it h t he
& symbol may be per­
mi tted.
Snow chains
-
Snow chains not on ly improve the driving in win ­
ter road conditions, but a lso the braking .

Weights
G ro ss Vehicl e Weight Rat ing
The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), and
the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) for front
and rear are listed on a sticker on the door jamb
on the driver's side .
The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating includes the
weight of the basic vehicle p lus full fuel tank, oi l
and coolant, plus max imum load, which includes
passenger we ight (150 lbs/68 kg per designated
seating position) and luggage weight¢ ,&..
Gross A xle W eight Rating
The Gross Ax le Weight Rating is the maximum
load that can be applied at each axle of the vehi­
cle ¢,&. .
V ehicle capaci ty weight
The vehicle capacity we ight (max. load) is listed
either on the driver's side B-pillar or inside the
fue l filler flap .
A WARNING
- The actual Gross Axle Weight Rating at the front and rear axles shou ld not exceed the
permissible weights, and their comb inat ion

be damaged. This especially applies to vehicles
that are equipped w ith adapt ive air suspension
and when the vehicle is at full load .
Appro ximate capaci-
tie s
2 1. 7 gal (82.0
L)
5.3 qt (5.0 L)
must not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating.
- Exceed ing permissible weight ratings can
result in vehicle damage, accidents and per­
sonal injury.
(D Note
- The veh icle capacity weight figures apply
when the load is d istr ibuted evenly in the
vehicle (passengers and luggage) . When
transport ing a heavy load in the luggage
compartment, carry the load as near to the
rea r axle as possib le so that the ve hicl e's
h and ling is no t impaired.
- Do not exceed the maximum pe rm iss ible
ax le loads or the maxim um gross vehicle
we igh t. A lways remember that the ve hicl e's
hand ling will be affected by the extra load.
T herefore, adjust your speed accordingly .
- Always observe local regula tions.
