New tires or wheels
Audi recommends having all work
on t ires or wheels performed by
an authorized Audi dealer or au­
thorized Audi Service Facility.
These facilities have the proper
know ledge and are eq uipped with
the required too ls and rep lace­
ment parts.
... New t ires do not yet have the
optim um gripping properties.
Drive carefully and at moderate
speeds for the first 35 0 m iles
(500 km) with new tires .
... Only use tires with the same de­
sign, size ( rolling circumfer ­
ence) , and as close to t he same
tread pattern as possible on a ll
four wheels .
...
Do not replace tires individually.
At least replace bo th tires on the
same axle at the same time .

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 .

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

vehicle's Gross Veh ic le Weig ht
R ati ng
("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
Gro ss Ax le W eight Rating
("GAWR") is the maximum load
that can be applied at each of the
vehicle's two axles .
T he 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
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 -
338
gers who are heavier than the
standard weights assumed mean
that less weight can be carried as luggage .
The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating and the Gross Axle Weight Rat ing
are listed on the safety compli­
ance sticker labe l located on the
driver's side B-pillar.
1.8. 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 .
-Tires on a vehicle that has been overloaded can fail sud ­
denly, including a blowout and
sudden deflation, causing loss
of contro l and a crash.
-Always make sure that the to­ tal load being transported

including the weight of a trail­
er hitch and the tongue
weight of a loaded trailer -
does not make the vehicle heavier than the vehicle's
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating .
Determining correct load
limit
Use the example below to calcu­
late the total weight of the pas ­
sengers and luggage or other
things that you plan to transport
so that you can make sure that
your vehic le w ill not be over load­
ed .
Steps for Determining Correct
Load Limit
1. L ocate the statement "TH E
COMBINED WEIGH T OF OCCU­
PANTS AND CARGO SHOULD
NEVER EXCEED XXX KG OR XXX
L BS" on your vehicle's placard
(tire inflation pressure label)
¢ page 335, fig . 269 .
2. Determine the combined
weight of the driver and pas ­
sengers that w ill be riding in
your vehic le .
3. Subt ract the combined weight
of the driver and passengers
from "XXX" kilograms or "XXX"
Wheels
pounds shown on the stick­
er ¢ page 335, fig. 269 .
4. The resulting figure equals the
available amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity . For ex­
ample , if the
"XXX" amount
equa ls
1400 lbs . and there will
be five
150 l bs . passengers in
your vehicle, the amount of
available cargo and luggage
load capacity is
650 lbs .
(1 400- 750 (5 X 1 50) = 650
lbs .)
5. Determine the comb ined
weight of luggage and cargo
being loaded on the vehicle .
T hat weight may not safely ex­
ceed the availab le cargo and
luggage load capacity calculat­
ed in Step 4 .
6 . If your vehicle will be towing a
tra iler, load from your tra iler
w ill be transferred to your ve ­
hicle. Consult this manual to
determine how this reduces
the availab le cargo and lug­
gage load capacity of your veh i­
c le .
.,. Check the tire sidewall
(¢ page 326, fig . 266) to deter ­
mine the designated load rat ing
for a specific t ire .

(D Note
- Be aware of the fo llow ing points before lift ­
in g th e 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 workshop hoist ,
check that the vehicle weight does not
exceed the permissible lifting capacity of
the hoist.
- Before driving over a workshop hoist , en­
sure that there is sufficient clearance be­
tween the hoist and low parts of the ve­ hicle.
