brakes AUDI RS5 COUPE 2015 Owner's Manual

The Gross Axle W eight R ating
("GAWR") is t he 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
carr ied 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 label located on the
driver's side B-pillar
¢ page 206,
fig .171 .

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 in-
Wheels
crease 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
ta l load being transported -
including 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.

late the tota l weight of the pas­
sengers and luggage or other
things that you plan to transpor t
so that you can make sure that
