and follow the important safe­
ty precautions in
q page 224,
Tires and vehicle load limits.
-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
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 B­

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.
@ For the sake of the environment
Tire pressure that is too low in­
creases fuel consumption.
(D Tips
Audi recommends using the
tire pressure specified for a
normal load
q table on
page 223
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.

Weights
Gross Vehi cle We ight Rating
The G ross Veh icle Weight Rating (GVWR), and
the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) for front

Techn ical data
(D Note
- The vehicle capacity weig ht figures apply
when the load is d istributed evenly in the
vehicle (passengers and luggage). When
transport ing a heavy load in the luggage
compartment, carry the load as near to the
rear axle as possible so that the vehicle's
hand ling is no t impa ired .
- Do not exceed the maximum perm iss ible
ax le loads or the maximum gross vehicle
we igh t. A lways remember that the vehi cle's
hand ling will be affected by the extra load.
T he refore, adjust your speed acco rd ingly.
- Always observe lo cal regulations.
