Wheels
-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
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.
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
tion on the 8-pillar label
¢ page 327, fig. 255.
328
(i} For the sake of the environment
-Tire pressure that is too low
increases fuel consumption.
-Fuel consumption may also in­
crease when driving with the
comfort tire pressure is se­
lected .
(D Tips
Audi recommends using the
tire pressure specified for a
normal load
¢ table on
page 329
or for a full load
when the vehicle is partially loaded.
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
tires according to the load and
the size of the tires installed.

Tires and vehicle load limits
There are limits to the amount of
load or weight that any vehicle
and any tire can carry. A vehicle
that is overloaded will not handle
well and is more difficult to stop. Overloading can not only lead to
loss of vehicle control, but can al­
so damage important parts of the
vehicle and can lead to sudden

tire failure, including a blowout
and sudden deflation that can
cause the vehicle to crash.
Your safety and that of your pas­
sengers also depends on making
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 ..

bolts and a special procedure. You must never
repair or disassemble them ¢
.&..
A 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 t ightening specifi ­
cation, refer to ¢
page 348, Finishing .
-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
W inter 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 t ires on all four wheels.
.,. Only use winter tires that are approved for your
vehicle.
.,. Please note that the maximum permitted
speed may be lowe r with winter tires
q ,&. . An
authori zed Audi dealer or authori zed Audi Serv­
ice Facility can inform you about the maximum
permitted speed for your tires .
.,. Check the tire pressure after installing wheels
¢page 327.
The effectiveness of winter tires is reduced great­
ly when the tread is worn down to a depth of
0 .16 in (4 mm) . The characteristics of winter
tires also decrease great ly as the tire ages, re­
gardless of the remaining tread .
A WARNING
-Never drive faster than the maximum per­
mitted speed for your tires. This could cause
the tires to heat up too much. This increases
332
-
the risk of an accident because it can cause
the tire 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 tires can lose traction on black ice .
@ For the sake of the environment
Reinstall summer tires at the appropriate
time, because they prov ide better handling
when roads are free of snow and ice. Summer
tires cause less road noise, tire wear and fuel
consumpt ion .
(D Tips
You can also use all season tires instead of
winter tires. Please note that in some coun­
tries where winter tires are required, only
winter tires w ith the ~ symbol are permitted .
Snow chains
Snow cha ins not only improve the driving in win­
ter road condit ions, but also the braking.
.,. Only install snow chains on the
front wheels .
This applies a lso to vehicles with all wheel
drive* .
.,. Check and correct the seating of the snow
chains after driving a few feet, if necessary. Fol­
low the instructions from the manufacturer.
.,. Note the maximum permitted speed when driv­
ing with snow chains. Do not exceed 30 mph
(SO km/h) .
Use of snow chains is only permitted with certain
rim/tire combinations due to technical reasons.
Check with an authorized Audi deale r or author­
ized Audi Service Facility to see if you may use
snow chains .
Use
fine-mesh snow chains. They must not add
more than 0.53 in (13 .5 mm) in height, including
the chain lock.
You must remove the snow chains on roads with­
out snow. Otherwise , you could impair driving
ability and damage the tires .

Gross Axle Weight Rating
The G ross Ax le We ight Rating is the max imum
load that can be applied at each axle of the vehi ­
cle ¢& .
Vehicle capacity weight The vehicle capacity we ight (max. load) is l isted
on the front end of the dr iver's door.
_& WARNING
- T he ac tual Gross Axle Weight Rating a t the
front and rear axles sho uld not exceed the
permissible weights, and their combination
must not exceed the Gross Veh icle Weight
Rating.
- Exceeding pe rmissible weight ratings can
result in ve hicle damage, acc idents and per­
sonal injury.
{[) Note
- The vehicle capacity weight figures app ly
when the load is distributed eve nly in the
vehicle (passengers and luggage). When
transporting a heavy load in the luggage
compartment, carry the load as near to the
r ear 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 tha t the vehicle's
h andling w ill be affe cted by the ext ra load.
T herefo re, adjust yo ur sp eed a ccording ly.
- Always obse rve loca l reg ulations.

Operating your vehicle
outside the U.S.A. or
Canada
Government reg ulations in the Un ited States and
Canada require that automobiles meet specific
emission regulations and safety standards.
Therefore, vehicles built for the U .S.A. and Cana­
da differ from vehicles sold in other countries.
I f you p lan to take your vehicle outside the conti­
nenta l limits of the United States or Canada,
there is the poss ibility that:
- u nleaded fue ls for vehicles with cata lytic con­
verter may not be available;
- fuel may have a considerably lower octane rat­
i ng. Imprope r fuel may ca use engine damage;
- service may be inadequate due to lack of p roper
service facilities, tools or testing eq uipment;
- r eplacement parts may not be readily ava ilable.
- Navigation systems for veh icles built for the
U .S .A . and Canada will not necessa rily work in
E urope, and may not wo rk in other countries
outside of North Amer ica.
