load capacity AUDI RS5 CABRIOLET 2013 User Guide

passengers and luggage or oth­
er things that you plan to trans­ port so that you can make sure
that your vehicle will not be
overloaded.
Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit
1. Locate the statement "THE
COMBINED WEIGHT OF OC­
CUPANTS AND CARGO
SHOULD NEVER EXCEED XXX KG OR XXX LBS"on your vehi­
cle's placard (tire inflation pressure label)
¢ page 226,
f ig. 185.
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" kilo­
grams or
"XXX" pounds
shown on the sticker
¢ page 226, fig. 185 .
4. The resulting figure equals
the available amount of car­go and luggage load capaci­
ty. For example, if the
"XXX"
amount equals 1400 lbs.
and there will be five 150
lbs. passengers in your vehi­
cle, the amount of available
Tires and wheels 231
cargo and luggage load ca­
pacity is 650 lbs. (1400-7
so
(5 X 150) = 650 lbs.)
5. Determine the combined
weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle .
That weight may not safely
exceed the available cargo
and luggage load capacity
calculated in Step
4 .
6 .
If your vehicle will be towing
a trailer, load from your trail­
er will be transferred to your
vehicle . Consult this manual
to determine how this re­ duces the available cargo
and luggage load capacity of
your vehicle .
~check the tire sidewall
(¢ page 233 , fig. 189) to de­
termine the designated load
rating for a specific tire.

ed on the driver's side 8-p illar.
A WARNING
- T he actual Gross Axle Weight Rat ing at
the front and rear axles sho uld not ex­
ceed the permissible weights, and their
combination must not exceed the Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating.
- Exceeding permissib le weight ratings can
result in vehicle damage, accidents and
persona l injury .
(D Note
-The vehicle capacity weight figures apply
when the load is distributed evenly in the
vehicle (passengers and luggage) . When
transporting a heavy load in the l uggage
compartment, carry the load as near to
the rear axle as possible so that the vehi­
cle's handling is not impa ired.
- Do not exceed the maximum permissible
axle loads or the maximum gross vehicle
weight . Always remember that the vehi ­
cle's handling will be affected by the ex­
tra load . Therefore, adjust your speed ac­
cord ingly.
- Always observe loca l regu lations .

nents, may be close to the ground. Be
