A WARNING
Please note the important safe
ty precautions regarding tire
pressure
¢ page 215 and load
limits¢ page 218.
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 deflat ion 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 inc ludes 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") .
T he "GVWR" inc ludes the weight
of the basic vehicle, all factory in
stalled accessories, a full tank of
fuel, oil, coolant and other fluids
2 18
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 veh icle. 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 vehic le 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 vehic le (inc luding
the weight of a trailer h itch 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 .

A WAR NING
-
Overloading a vehicle can cause
loss of vehicle contro l, a crash
or other accident, serious per
sonal injury , and even death .
-Carrying more weight than your vehic le was designed to
carry will p revent the vehicle
from handling properly and increase the risk of the loss of
vehicle control.
-The brakes on a vehicle that has been over loaded may not
be able to stop the veh icle
within a safe dis tance .
-Tires on a vehicle that has been overloaded can fail sud
d en ly , including a blowout and
sudden deflation, causing loss
of control and a crash .
-Always make su re that the to
tal load being transported -
includ ing the weight of a trail
er hitch and the tongue
we ight of a loaded trailer -
d oes not make t he vehicle
heavier than the vehicle's
Gross Vehicle We ight 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 vehicle will not be overload
ed .
Steps for Determining Correct
Load Limit
1 . L ocate the statement " THE
COMB INED W EIGH T OF OCCU
PANTS AND CARGO S HOU LD
NEVER EXCEED XXX KG OR XXX

(tire inflation pressure label)
¢ page 215, fig. 189 .
2. Determine the combined
weight of the driver and pas
sengers that w ill be riding in
your vehicle .
3 . Subtract the combined weight
of the driver and passengers
from
" XXX " kilog rams or " XXX "
pounds shown on the sticker
¢page 215, fig. 189 .

rims you rself, because this increases the risk
of an a cciden t.
Winter tires
Win ter tires significant ly imp rove the veh icle's
handling when dr iv ing in winter conditions. Be
ca use of their construction (width, compound,
tread patte rn), s ummer ti res provide less trac
tion on ice and snow.

Reinstall summer tires at the appropriate
time, because they provide better handling
when roads are free of snow and ice. Summer
tires cause less road noise, tire wear and fuel
consumption.
(D Tips
You can also use all season tires instead of
winter tires. Please note that in some coun
tries where winter tires are required, only
winter tires with the
& symbol may be per
mitted .
Snow chains
Snow chains not only improve the driving in win
ter road conditions, but also the braking .
.,. Only install snow chains on the front wheels.
This applies also to vehicles with all wheel
drive*.
.,. Check and correct the seating of the snow
chains after driving a few feet, if necessary. Fol
low the instructions from the manufacturer .
.,. Note the maximum speed of 30 mph (SO km/
h). Note the local regulations.
Use of snow chains is only permitted with certain
rim/tire combinations due to technical reasons.
Check with an authorized Audi dealer or author i zed Audi Service Facility to see if you may use
snow chains.
You must remove the snow chains on roads with
out snow. Otherwise, you could impair driving
ability and damage the tires.
A WARNING
Using incorrect snow chains or installing snow
chains incorrectly can result in loss of vehicle
control, which increases the risk of an acci
dent.
@ Note
- Snow chains can damage the rims/wheel
covers* if the chains come into direct con
tact with them . Remove the wheel covers*
first . Use coated snow chains.
Wheels
- Using snow chains that add more than 0.4
inch (10.5 mm) of height can severely dam
age the wheel housings and other vehicle
components.
- Do not install and use snow chains if there is
a malfunction in the air suspension*, be
cause the vehicle height will be very low. If
you drive with snow chains anyway, the
wheel housings and other vehicle compo
nents can be severely damaged .
(D Tips
When using snow chains, it may be useful to
switch on sport mode
c> page 121.
Low-profile tires
Applies to: vehicles with low-profile tires
Compared to other tire/rim combinations, low
profile tires offer a wider tread surface and a
larger rim diameter with shorter tire sidewalls.
This results in an agile driving style. However, it
may reduce the level of comfort and increase
road noise when driving on roads in poor condi
tion.
Low-profile tires can become damaged more
quickly than standard tires when driving over
large bumps, potholes, manhole covers and
curbs. Therefore, it is particularly important to
maintain the correct tire pressure
c>page 215.
To reduce the risk of damage to the tires and
rims, drive very carefully on poor roads.
Check your wheels regularly every 2,000 mi
(3,000 km) for damage. For example, check for
bulges/cracks on the tires or deformations/
cracks on the rims.
After a heavy impact or damage, have the tires
and rims inspected or replaced immediately by
an authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi
Service Facility.
Low-profile tires can wear out faster than stand
ard tires.
Uniform tire quality grading
-Tread wear

Wheels
- Traction AA A B C
- T emperature ABC
Quality grades can be found where appl icable on
the tire side wall between tread shoulder and
maximum section width
~ page 206, fig. 187.
For example: Tread wear 200, Traction AA, Tem
perature
A .
All passenger car tires must conform to Federal
Safety Requirements in addition to these grades.
Tread wear
The tread wear grade is a comparative rating
based on the wear rate of the tire when tested
under contro lled conditions on a specified gov
ernment test course.
F or examp le, a tire graded
150 would wear one
and one half (1 1/2) times as well on the govern
ment course as a tire graded
100.
The relative performance of tires depends upon
the actua l conditions of their use, however, and
may depart significantly from the norm due to
variations in driving habits, service practices and
d ifferences in road characteristics and climate.
Traction
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are
AA, A, Band
C. T hose grades represent the tire's
abi lity to stop on wet pavement as measured un
der controlled conditions on specified govern ment test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire
marked C may have poor traction performance
~ .&..
Temperature
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B,
and C, representing the tire's resistance to the
generation of heat and its ability to d iss ipate
heat when tested under controlled conditions on
a specified indoor laboratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause the mate rial of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life,
and excess ive temperature can lead to sudden
tire
fa ilure ~.&. .
The grade C corresponds to a level of perform
ance which a ll passenger car tires must meet un-
222
der the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
No.
109. Grades Band A represent higher levels
of performance on the laboratory test wheel than
the minimum required by law.
A WARNING -
The tract ion grade assigned to this t ire is
based on straight-ahead braking traction
tests, and does not include acceleration, cor
nering, hydroplaning or peak traction charac
teristics .
A WARNING
The temperature grade for this tire is estab
lished for a tire tha t is properly inflated and
not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinfla
tion, or excessive loading, either separately or
in combination, can cause heat buildup and
possible tire failure.
A WARNING
-
-
Temperature grades apply to tires that are
proper ly inflated and not over or underinflat
ed.
Tire pressure monitoring system
ill General notes
Each tire, including the spare (if prov ided),
shou ld be checked monthly when cold and inflat
ed to the inflation pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or
tire inflation pressure label. (If your veh icle has
t ir es of a diffe rent size t han the size ind icated on
the vehicl e placard or tire infl ation press ure la
bel, you sho uld determine the proper tire infla
tion pressure for those tires).
As an added safety featu re, you r vehicle has been
equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure tell
ta le when one or more of your tires is significant
l y under-inflated. According ly, w hen the low tire
pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and
check your t ires as soon as possible, and inflate
them to the proper pressure. Dr iving on a

significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inf la
tion also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread
life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and
stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver's re
sponsibility to maintain correct tire pressure,
even if under-inflation has not reached the level
to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pres
sure telltale .
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS
malfunction indicator to indicate when the sys
tem is not operating properly . The TPMS mal
function indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale . When the system detects a
malfunction, the telltale will flash for approxi
mately one minute and then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the mal
function exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated,
the system may not be able to detect or signal
low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions
may occur for a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate tires or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS
from functioning properly . Always che ck the
TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or
more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure
that the replacement or alternate tires and
wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function
properly.

Description
Applies to: vehicles with tire pressure monitor ing system
The tire pressure monitoring system monitors
the pressure in the four tires when driving.
T he system uses sensors that measure the tem
perature and pressure in the tires . The data is
sent from these sensors to the control module by radio frequency.
T he Tire Pressure Monitoring System shows the
current pressures and temperatures of the tires
in the Infotainment system
¢page 226. It also
compares the current tire pressures with the
stored tire pressures and gives a warning in the
driver information system if the tire pressure is
different from what is
stored ¢ page 226 .
Wheels
The system does not detect if the stored tire
pressures match the recommended tire pres
sures. You must store the tire pressures again
¢ page 226:
- every time the tire pressures change, for exam
ple when the load in the vehicle changes,
- after replacing a tire, or
- if wheels with new wheel sensors are used.
_& WARNING
- The tire pressure monitoring system assists
the driver in monitoring tire pressures. The
driver is responsible for having the tires in
flated to the correct pressure.
- Do not change the tire pressure when the
temperature of the tire is extremely high.
This could result in serious damage to the
tire and even cause the tire to burst, in
creasing the risk of an accident.
- A tire with low pressure flexes more. This heats the tire up too much. This could cause
the tread to separate and even cause the
tire to burst, increasing the risk of an acci
dent.
- The tire pressure monitoring system does not warn about damage or defects in the
tire construction that could cause the tire to
burst, for example. Inspect your tires regu
larly.
(D Tips
- If tires are replaced, the sensors/valves do
not need to be removed or replaced . Just re
placed the valve stem and, if necessary, the
valve and the wheel electronics. If you have questions, see an authorized Audi dealer or
authorized Audi Service Facility.
- An incorrect display or a malfunction in the
tire pressure monitoring system can occur
after using the tire mobility kit. Have the
sensors replaced by an authorized Audi
dealer or authori zed Audi Service Facility.
