= reinfo rced or ext ra load t ire . It may als o appea r as xi , EXTRA LOAD , or RF on the tire s idewall.
The correct t ire pressure for the
spare wheel is located on a label
either on the driver's side B-pillar or inside the fue l filler flap.
Because technica l changes may be made to vehicle equipment
during the mode l year, always compare the tire size designat ion on
the tire pressure la bel on y our vehicle with the tires on your vehicle.
Make sure tha t the t ire size information on the veh icle labe l is the
same as the size of the tires on the vehicle. This is especially impor ­
t ant if the vehicle belongs to someone e lse or you boug ht the
vehic le with different rims/tires or you bought the vehicle as a previ ­
ously owned vehicle.
Remember, your safety and that of your passengers a lso depends
on making su re tha t load limits a re not exceeded . Vehicle load
inc ludes everybody and everything in and on the vehicle. These load
limits are technically referred to as the vehicle's Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating ("GVWR"). The Gross Axle Weight Rating ("GAWR") is
the maximum load that can be applied at each of the vehicle's two
ax les. The Gross Vehicle We ight Rat ing and the Gross Ax le Weight
Rating are listed on the safety comp liance sticker labe l located
e it he r on the d river's side B-pillar o r on the i nside of the fuel f iller
flap. The tire pressure label on your Audi lists the maximum
combined we igh t of all o f th e occupa nts and luggage o r other cargo t
hat the vehic le can carry. For the location o f the tire pressure labe l
=> page 246, fig. 173.
& WARNING
Overloading a vehi cle can cause los s of vehicle control , a crash or
other accident, serious per sonal injury, and even death .
• Carrying more weight th an your vehicle was de signed to carry
will prevent the vehicle from handling properly and increase the
risk of a 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 c an fail suddenly
cau sing loss of control and a crash .
• Alway s make sur e that the total load being tran sported -
including the weight of a trailer hitch and the tongue weight of a
loaded trailer -does not make the vehicle heavier than the
vehicle 's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating . _.,

•
• A wheel sensor or other component may have failed.
• During initia lization the system has detected more than 4 wheels
on the vehicle, for example while driving next to another car with a
tire pressure monitoring system.
• A wheel change was made but the button
=> page 265, fig. 179
was not pressed.
• Audi Genuine Parts were not used for parts replacement.
• If snow chains are being used, system function can be compro­
mised due to the shielding properties of the chains.
• The tire pressure monitoring system may not be available
because of a radio ma lfunction.
• Transmitters with the same frequency, such as radio head­
phones in the veh icle or radio equipment, can cause a temporary
disruption of the system through excessive electromagnetic fields.
• Eliminate the interference if possible and then proceed as
follows: Turn off the engine for 20 minutes. Then drive another 10
min . If the warning light comes on again, you shou ld contact your
authorized Audi dealer immediately to have the problem corrected.
• Do not use commercially available tire sealants. Otherwise, the
e lectrical components of the tire pressure monitoring system will
no longer work properly and the sensor for the tire pressure moni ­
toring system will have to be replaced by an authorized Audi dealer
or other qualified workshop. •
Certification

Jack, tools and spare wheel
Jack and tools
The tools and jack are stored underneath the floor panel
in the luggage compartment.
Raise the floor panel with the loop.
Fig. 181 Floor panel
hung on the bottom of
the luggage compart­
ment cover
Fig . 182 Vehicle tool
kit and jack
- Hang the loop on the underside of the luggage compart­
ment cover ~ fig. 181.
Remove the tool kit or the jack.
The onboard tool kit includes:
• Hook for removing wheel covers*
• Plasti c hook to remove wheel bolt covers
• Wheel bolt wrench
• Alignment pin for changing wheels
• Screwdriver with reversible blade
• Towing eye
Before storing the jack, make sure it is wound back down as far as it
will go.
After use, the jack and tools must be put back in place underneath
the floor panel in the luggage compartment.
Note: some of the on-board items listed above are provided on
certain models only or are optional extras.
& WARNING
Improper use of the vehicle jack can cause serious personal inju­
ries.
• Using a bumper jack to raise the vehicle will damage the
bumper system. The jack may slip, causing injury.
• Never support your vehicle on cinder blocks, bricks or other
objects. These may not be able to support the load and could
cause injury when they fail.
• Never start or run the engine while the vehicle is supported by
the jack.
• If you must work under the vehicle, always use safety stands
specifically designed for this purpose.
• Never try and use the hexagonal socket
in the handle of the
screwdriver to loosen or tighten the wheel bolts.

What do I do now? -__________________ __;__:....:....:..:: __ _
•
-All passengers should leave the car and move to a safe
location (for instance, behind the guardrail)~& .
- Apply the
parking brake firmly ~& .
- Move
selector lever to position Pon an automatic trans-
miss ion; put manual transmission in

the engine, turn the emergency flasher on and use other warning
devices to alert other motorists.
• Make sure that passengers wait
in a safe place away from the
vehicle and well away from the roadway and traffic.
• To help prevent the vehicle from moving suddenly and possibly
slipping off the jack, always fully set the parking brake and block
the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel being changed. When one
front wheel is lifted off the ground, placing the automatic trans­
mission in "P" (Park), or engaging a gear in a manual transmission
will
not prevent the vehicle from moving.
• Before you change a wheel, be sure the ground is level and firm.
If necessary, use a sturdy board under the jack.
• After installing the spare wheel, make sure that you remount
the flat tire/wheel in its storage area properly and tighten the
knurled retaining screw securely. •
