circumference as the regular
tires .
8,_ WARNING , -
-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 six years old when abso­
lutely necessary and drive
carefully when doing so.
Wheels
-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

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.

Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit
1 . Locate the stat em ent "THE
COMBINED WEIGHT OF OCCU­ PANTS AND CARGO SHOULD
NEVER EXCEED XXX KG OR X XX
LBS "on your vehi cle 's pla card
(tire inflation pr essure l abel)
¢ pag e 265 , fig. 198.
2 . Determine the combined
weight of the dri ver and pa s­
sengers that will be riding in
your vehicle.
3. Subtract the comb ined weight
of the driver and passengers
from
" XXX " kilograms or "XXX "
pounds shown on the sticker
¢ page 265, fig. 198 .
4. The resulting figure equals the
available amount of cargo and
luggage load ca pac ity. For ex­
ample, if the
"X XX" amount
equals 1400 lbs and there w ill
be five 150 lbs passengers in
your vehicle , the amount of
available cargo and luggage
load capacity is 650 lb s
(1400- 750 (5
X 150) = 650 lbs)
5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle.

tighten wheel bolts, since the bolts cannot
attain the necessary tightening torque if you
use the hex head, potentially causing an ac­

Emergency assistance
_& WARNING
You or your passengers could be injured while
changing a wheel if you do not follow these
safety precautions :
- If you have a flat tire, move a safe distance
off the road. Turn off the engine, turn the
emergency flashers on and use other warn­
ing devices to alert other motorists.
- Make sure that passengers wait in a safe
place away from the vehicle and well away
from the road and traffic.
- To help prevent the vehicle from moving
suddenly and possibly slipp ing off the jack,
always fully set the parking brake and block
the wheel diagona lly opposite the wheel be­
ing changed . When one front wheel is lifted
off the ground, placing the Automatic
Transmission in P (Park) will
not prevent the
vehicle from moving.
- Before you change a wheel, be sure the
ground is level and firm. If necessary, use a
sturdy board under the jack.
- Always store the vehicle tool kit, the jack
and the replaced tire in the luggage com­
partment

wheel and hub. Contam inants on these surfaces
must be removed before installing the wheel.
A WARNING
Never use the hex socket in the screwdriver
handle to tighten the wheel bolts. Using the
hex socket will not achieve the required tight­

and have a second person help you .
(D Tips
- When mounting tires with unidirectional
tread design make sure the tread pattern is
pointed the right way
Q page 286.
-The wheel bolts should be clean and easy to
turn. Check for dirt and corrosion on the
mating surfaces of both the wheel and the
hub. Remove all dirt from these surfaces be­
fore remounting the whee l.
Unidirectional tires
A unidirectional tire profi le is identified by arrows
that point in the runn ing direction on the tire
s idewall. You must always adhere to the speci­
fied running direction. This is necessary ensure
the tire's optimum performance in regard to ad­
hesion , running noise, friction and hydroplaning.
To benefit fully from the advantages of the uni­
directional tire design, you should replace faulty
tires as soon as possible and restore the correct
running direction on all of the tires.
