safety and handling. Your specialist retailer will
be glad to provide more information.
Tyre wear / damage

A
WARNING
- Use only tyre/rim combinations and match­
ing wheel bolts approved by Audi. Otherwise
damage to the vehicLe and an accident could
result.
- For technical reasons, it is not possible to
use wheels from other vehicles. In certain
cases, it is not even possible to use wheels
from another vehicle of the same model.
- It is very important to ensure that the tyres
you have chosen have adequate clearance.
When selecting replacement tyres, do not
rely entirely on the nominal tyre size
marked on the tyre; with some makes of
tyre the effective tyre size can differ signifi­
cantly from the nominal dimensions, even
though the tyres have the same size desig­

nation.
Inadequate tyre clearance can result
in damage to the tyres or the vehicle, caus­
ing a serious safety risk.
- Avoid running the car on tyres that are more
than 6 years old. If
you
have no alternative,
you should drive slowly and with extra care
at all times.
- The use of run-flat tyres on your vehicle is
NOT authorised! Unauthorised use can cause
an accident or damage your vehicLe.
- If wheel trims are fitted after the car is pur­

chased,
ensure that there is an adequate
flow of air for cooling the brakes - risk of ac­
cident!

Tyre wear
Inspect the tyres regularly for damage.
- The wear on under or over-inflated tyres is
sig­

nificantly higher.
- Fast cornering, heavy acceleration and hard
braking all increase tyre wear.
- If
you
notice excessive tyre wear, have the
wheel alignment checked by a qualified work­

shop.

- Have your tyres rebalanced if steering wheel vi­
brations indicate an imbalance. Otherwise, the
tyres and other parts of the vehicLe may wear
faster.
Tread wear indicators
The original tyres on your vehicle have 1.6 mm
high tread wear indicators
^>Fig.
252 running
across the tread at regular intervals. The letters

"TWI"
or triangles on the sidewall indicate the
positions of the tread wear indicators.
The minimum tread
depth1)
is reached
at
the lat­
est when the tread is worn down to the tread
wear indicators. Replace the tyres with new ones
Changing wheels round
Wheels should be changed round regularly to en­
sure that the wear is equal on all tyres. Fit the
wheels from the rear axle on the front axle and
vice-versa. All the tyres will then last for about
the same time.

Please observe the applicable regulations in the country in
which you are travelling.

Care of vehicle and cleaning

A.
WARNING
- Follow the rules and recommendations of
the car wash operator and do not wash the
vehicLe with the ignition switched on - risk
of accident!
- To avoid cutting yourself on sharp metal

parts,
always wear suitable protection when
cleaning the underside of the car or inside
the wheel arches.
- After the car has been washed, the full brak­
ing effect can be delayed by moisture (or in
winter by ice) on the discs and brake pads -
risk of accident! The brakes should be dried
by pressing the pedal to restore full braking
effect.
© CAUTION
- Before washing the vehicle in an automatic
car wash, please make sure to retract the
exterior mirrors to prevent damage. Always
use the electrical power controL to fold the
mirrors in/out on vehicles with electrically
retractable exterior mirrors*.
- Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight -
otherwise the paint can be damaged.
- Do not use insect sponges or abrasive
household sponges, etc. - they can damage
the surfaces.
- Matt-painted vehicle parts:
- Do not use polish or wax - otherwise the
paintwork can be damaged.
- Never use car-wash programmes that in­
clude wax coatings. This could spoil the
matt finish.
- Do not attach any stickers or magnet la­
bels to matt-painted parts as these could
damage the paintwork when they are re­

moved.

® For the sake of the environment
The car should only be washed in special wash

bays.
This prevents oily water from getting in­
to the public drains.
