&_ WARNING
"
-Do not use steel rims that are
17 inches or larger. Other
wise, 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.
-Do not use run-flat tires on
your vehicle. Using them when
not permitted can lead to ve
hicle damage or accidents.
Wheels
-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
Check the tires regularly for wear.
-Inflat ion 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.
-Have the wheels rebalanced if an
imbalance is causing noticeable
vibration in the steering wheel. If you do not, the tires and other

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
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-
Wheels
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
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 luggage.
The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating and the Gross Axle Weight Rating
are listed on the safety compli ance sticker on the front end of
the driver's door.

A 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 control and a crash.
-Always make sure that the to
tal load being transported
-
includ ing 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 -
356
sengers and luggage or other
things that you plan to transport so that you can make sure that
your vehicle will not be overload
ed.
Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit
1. Locat e the statement "THE
COMBINED WEIGHT OF OCCU
PANTS AND CARGO SHOULD
NEVER EXCEED XXX KG OR XXX
LBS" on your vehicle's placard
(tire inflation pressure label)
Q page 351, fig. 285.
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" kilograms or "XXX"
pounds shown on the stick
erQ page 351, fig. 285.
4. The resulting figure equals the
available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. For ex
ample, if the "XXX" amount
equals 1400 lbs . and there will
be five 150 lbs. passengers in
your vehicle, the amount of
available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs.

For example: Tread wear 200 , Traction AA, Tem
perature
A .
All passenge r ca r tires m ust conform to Federal
Safety Requirements in add ition to these grades .
Tread wear
The tread wear grade is a comparat ive rating
based on the wear rate of the t ire when tested
under cont ro lled conditions o n a specified gov
e rnment test course.
For example, a t ire graded
1 50 would wear one
and one ha lf
( 1 1/2) times as well on the gove rn
men t course as a tire g raded
100.
The relative performance of t ires depends upo n
the actual conditions of their use, howeve r, and
may depart significant ly from the norm due to
va ria tions in driving ha bits, serv ice practices and
d ifferences in road cha racteristics and climate .
Traction
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are
AA, A, B and
C. T hose grades represent the t ire's
ab ility to stop on wet pavement as meas ured un
de r contro lled condi tions on specified gove rn

The grade C cor responds to a level of perform
ance which all passenger car tires must meet un
der the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standa rd
No.
109 . Grades Band A represent higher levels
of pe rformance on the laboratory test wheel than
the minimum req uired by law .
A WARNING
-The tractio n grade assigned to this tire is
based on s traight-a head braking traction
t e st s, and does no t include acceler ation, co r

Tire pressure monitoring system
ill General notes
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
shou ld be checked monthly whe n cold and inflat
ed to the inflat io n pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer on the veh icle placard or
t ir e infla tion pressure labe l. (If your ve hicle has
t ir es of a different size t han t he size ind ic a ted on
the vehicle p lacard or tire inflat ion press ure la
bel, you sho uld dete rm ine the proper tire infla
tion pr ess ure for those tires) .
As an ad ded s afe ty featu re, yo ur vehicle has bee n
equipped with a tire p ressure mon itor ing system
(TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure tell
ta le when one or mo re of your tires is significant-
l y under -inf lated. According ly, when the low t ire
pressure telltale i llum inates, you shou ld stop
and .,..

Wheels
check you r tires as soon as possible, and inflate
them to the proper pressure. Driving on a signifi
cantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to over
heat and can lead to t ire failure. Under-inflation
also reduces fuel efficiency and t ire tread life,
a nd may affect the veh icle's handling and stop
p ing ability .
Please note that the TPMS is not a substit ute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver's re
sponsib ility to ma inta in correct tire pressure,
even if under-inflation has not reached the level
to tr igger illum inat io n of the TPMS low tire p res
sure tellta le.
Your veh icle has also bee n eq uipped w ith a TPMS
malfunct ion i nd icator to indicate when the sys
t e m is not operat ing properly. The TPMS ma l
f u nction indicator is comb ined w ith the low tire
p ress ure tellt ale. Whe n the system dete cts a
malfunct ion, the te lltale will flash for approxi
mate ly one min ute and then remain continuo usly
i l luminated. This sequence will continue upon
subseq uent veh icle start- ups as long as the ma l
function ex ists .
When the malf unctio n indicator is ill uminated,
the system may not be able to detect or signa l
low tire pressure as intended . TPMS ma lf u nctions
may occur for a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate t ires or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning prope rly . Always c heck the
TPMS malfunct ion tellta le afte r replacing one o r

wheels a llow the TPM S to con tinue to function
p roperly.
If the tire pressure monitoring indicator
appears
The tire pressure indicator in the instrument
cluster informs you if the tire pressure is too low
or if there is a system malfunction .
Using the ABS sensors, the tire pressure mon itor
ing system compares the tire tread circ umfer
ence and vibration cha racteristics of the individu
a l tires. If the pressure changes in one or more
tires, this is ind icated i n the instrument cluste r
