228 Tire s and wheel s
-Tires on a vehicle that has been overload­
ed can fail suddenly causing loss of con­
trol and a crash.
- Always make sure that the tota l load be­
ing transported -including the weight of
a tra iler hitch and the tongue weight of a
loaded trailer - does not make the veh i­
cle heav ier than the veh icle's Gross Vehi­
cle Weight Rating.
A WARNING
- Incorrect tire pressures and/or underin­
flation can lead to a serious o r fatal acci­
dent .
- Incorrect tire pressures and/or underin­
flation cause increased tire wear and can
affect the handling of the vehicle .
- Incorrect tire pressures and/or underin­
flation c an also lead to sudden tire fa il­
ure, including a blowo ut and sudden de ­
flation, causing loss of vehicle control.
Checking tire pressure
,
The correct tire pressure for the tires original­
ly installed on your vehicle is lis ted on the tire
pressure label located on driver 's side 8-pil ­
lar.
The recommended t ire p ress ures are on the
tire pressure labe l and in the tab le
¢ page 226, Cold tire inflation pressure. This
means that the pressure must be checked and
ad justed when the tire has not been driven for
more than a couple of m iles (kilometers) at
low speeds during the previous three hours .
A ir in the tires expands when the tire heats up
as a result of inte rna l fr iction as it flexes in
use. The ti re p ress ure is higher w hen the tire
has wa rmed up than when it is "cold ."
It is the inflat io n pressure i n a "cold " tire that
counts . Therefore, you shou ld never let air out
of a warm t ire to match "Cold tire inflation
p ress ure" recommendations ¢
page 226. The
tires would then be under infla ted and cou ld
fa il suddenly . T
he tire pressure label on your Audi lists the
recommended co ld tire inflation pressures at
maximum capacity for the new, or ig inal
equipment tires that were on your vehicle at
the time it was manufactured. For the loca­
t ion of the labe l
¢page 226, fig . 185 .
Most tires lose air natura lly over t ime. They
can a lso lose some air if you drive over a pot­
hole or hit a curb while park ing. It is usually
not possible to see whether the rad ial tires
used today are underinflated just by look ing
at them.
Therefo re, be sure to check t ire press ures at
least once a mo nth and a lways befo re going
on a long trip . Make sure to take the number
of peop le and the amou nt of luggage into ac­
c ount w hen adjust ing ti re pressu re for a trip -
even one th at yo u wo uld not consider to be
" long." See
r:!v page 230, Tires and vehicle
load limits
for mo re important information.
Always use an accurate ti re p ressu re ga uge
whe n checking and ad justi ng i nflat ion pres ­
s u res . Check a ll of the tires. If the press ure in
any tire is too high when the tire is "cold", let
air out of t he tire slowly with the edge of the
t ire ga uge and keep checking the pressure un­
t il you reach the pressure that is correct for
the load (passengers and luggage) and kind of
driv ing you plan to do.
If the pressure in any tire is too low, note the
difference between the pressure in the co ld
t ire and the pressure you need and add the air
t h at you need to reach the correct pressure for
the ve hicle load (passengers a nd luggage) for
the tires on your vehicle as listed on the on
you r vehicle and in this ma nual a nd the kind
of d riving you plan to do.
Ne ver e xceed the maximum inflation pres­
sure listed on the tir e sidewall for any rea ­
son.
Remember that the vehicle manufacture r, not
the tire manufacturer, determines the cor rect
t ire p ressu re for the tires on your vehicle.
I t is impor tant to check the t ire pressure when
the tires are co ld .
111>

-Read the requir ed tire pressure from the tire
pressure label. The tire pressure label is lo­
cated on the driver's side B-pillar. The tire
pressure label lists the recommended cold
t ire inf lation pressures for the vehicle at its
maximum capacity weight and the tires that
were on your vehicle at the time it was man­
ufactured . For recommended tire pressures
for normal load conditions, please see chap­
ter ~
page 226.
- Turn the valve stem cap counter-clockwise
to remove it from the tire valve.
- Place the air pressure gauge on the valve .
- The tire pressures should only be checked
and adjusted when the tires are cold . The
slightly raised pressures of warm tires must
not be reduced.
- Adjust the tire pressure to the load you are
carry ing.
- Reinstall the valve stem cap on the valve .
When should I check the tire pressure?
The correct tire pressure is especially impor­
tant at high speeds. The pressure should
therefore be checked at least once a month
and always before starting a journey .
When should I adjust the tire pressures?
Adjust the tire pressure to the load you are
carry ing. After changing a wheel
or replacing
wheels you have to adjust the tire pressures
on all wheels. In addition, you must then initi­
alize the new tire pressures in the tire pres­
sure monitoring system*~
page 240.
A WARNING
Incorrect tire pressures and/or underinfla­
tion can lead sudden tire failure, loss of
control, collision, serious personal injury
or even death.
- When the
[9] warning symbol appears in
the instrument cluster, stop and inspect
the tires.
- Incorrect tire pressure and/or underinfla­
tion can cause increased tire wear and
can affect the handling of the vehicle and
stopping ability.
Tires and wheels 229
- Incorrect tire pressures and/or underin­
flation can also lead to sudden tire fail­
ure, including a blowout and sudden de­
flation, causing loss of vehicle control.
- The driver is responsib le for the correct
tire pressures for all tires on the vehicle.
The applicable pressure values are locat­
ed on a sticker on the driver's side B-pil­ lar.
- Only when all tires on the vehicle are fil­
led to the correct pressure, the tire pres­
sure monitoring system* can work cor­
rectly.
- The use of incorrect tire pressure values
can lead to accidents or other damage.
Therefore it is essential that the driver
observe the specified tire pressure values
for the tires and the correct pressures for
the function of the tire pressure monitor­ ing system*.
- Always inflate tires to the recommended
and correct tire pressure before driving
off.
- Driving with underinflated tires bend
more, letting them get too hot resulting
in tread separation, sudden tire failure
and loss of control.
- Excessive speed and/overloading can
cause heat build-up, sudden tire failure
and loss of control.
- If the tire pressure is too low or too high,
the t ires will wear prematurely and the
vehicle will not handle well.
- If the tire is not flat and you do not have
to change a wheel immediately , drive at
reduced speed to the nearest service sta­
tion to check the tire pressure and add
air as required.
(D Note
Driving without valve stem caps can cause
damage to the tire valves. To prevent this,
always make sure that factory installed
valve stem caps on all wheels are securely
mounted on the valve.

Tires and vehicle load limits
There are limits to the amount of load or
weight that any vehicle and any t ire can carry.
A vehicle that is overloaded w ill not handle
well and is more difficult to stop. Overload ing
can not only lead to loss of vehicle control, but can also damage important pa rts of the
vehicle and can lead to s udden tire failure, in­
cluding a blowout and sudden deflation that
can cause the vehicle to crash.
Your safety and that of your passenge rs a lso
depends on making s ure that load limi ts are
not exceeded . Vehicle load includes everybody
and everything in and on the vehicle. These
load limits are technica lly referred to as the
vehicle's
Gross Veh icle We ight R ating
("GVWR").
The "GVWR" includes the weight of the basic
vehicle, all factory installed accessories, a full
tank of f uel, oi l, coo lant and other fluids pl us
maximum load. The maximum load includes
the number of passengers that the vehicle is intended to carry ("seating capacity") with an
assumed weight of 150 lbs . (68 kg) for each
passenger at a des ignated seat ing pos ition
and the tota l we ight of any l uggage in the ve­
h icle. If you tow a trailer, the weight o f the
trai ler hitch and the tong ue weight of the
loaded trailer must be included as part of the
vehicle load.
The
Gro ss Axl e W eight Rating ("GAWR") is
the maximum load that can be app lied at each
of the vehicle's two axles.
The G ross Vehicle Weight Rating and the
Gross Axle Weigh t Rating are listed on the
safety compliance sticker labe l located on the
driver's side B-pi llar . Audi has 4 seati ng posi­
tions, 2 in the front and 2 in the rear for tota l
seating capacity of 4 . Each seating position
has a seat belt¢
page 129, Safety belts.
T he fact that there is an upper limit to yo ur
vehicle's G ross Vehicle Weight Rating means
that the total weight of whatever is being car­ ried in the vehicle ( includ ing the weight of a
trailer hitch and the tongue weight of the
loaded tra iler) is lim ited . The more passen­
gers in the vehicle or passengers who are
heavier than the standard we ights assumed
mea n tha t less we ight can be carried as lug­
gage.
T he t ire pressure label on your Aud i also lists
the max imum combined weig ht of a ll of the
occupants and luggage or other cargo that
the vehi cle can carry . For the location of the
label¢
page 226, fig. 185.
.&, WARNING ~ -
Overloading a vehicle can cause loss of ve ­
h icle contro l, a crash or other accident, se­
rious personal injury, and even death.
- Ca rrying more weight than your vehicle
was des igned to carry wi ll prevent the
vehicle from handling properly and in­
crease the risk of the loss of vehicle con­
trol.
- The brakes on a vehicle that has been
overloaded may not be able to stop the
veh icle w ith in a safe distance.
- Tires on a vehicle that has been overload­
ed can fail suddenly, including a blowout
and sudden deflation, causing loss of
control and a crash .
- Always make sure that the total load be­
ing transported -including the weight of
a trailer hitch and the tongue we ight of a
loaded trailer - does not ma ke the vehi­
cle heavier than the vehicle's G ross Vehi­
cle Weight Rating.
Determining correct load limit
U se th e exa mple b elow to ca l­
c ulat e th e total w eight of the

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.

tions that have been specifically ap­ proved by the vehicle manufacturer.
- Tires age even if they are not being used
and can fai l sudden ly, especially at hig h
speeds. Tires that are more than 6 years
old can only be used in an emergency
and then w ith special care and at lower
speeds .
- Never mo unt used tir es on your veh icle if

fall from a lift if there is a change in ve­
hicle weight distribution and balance.
This might happen, for example, when
heavy components such as the engine
block or transmission are removed .
- When removing heavy components like
these, anchor vehicle to hoist or add cor­
responding weights to maintain the cen­
ter of gravity. Otherwise, the vehicle
might tilt or slip off the hoist, causing
serious personal injury.
(D Note
- Be aware of the following points before
lifting the vehicle:
-The vehicle should never be lifted or
jacked up from underneath the engine
oil pan, the transmission housing, the
front or rear axle or the body side
members. This could lead to serious
damage.
- To avoid damage to the underbody or
chassis frame, a rubber pad must be
inserted between the floor jack and
the lift points.
- Before driving over a workshop hoist,
check that the vehicle weight does not
exceed the permissible lifting capacity
of the hoist.
- Before driving over a workshop hoist,
ensure that there is sufficient clear­
ance between the hoist and low parts
of the vehicle.
