Safety Standard No. 109. Grades Band A represent higher levels of
performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum
required by law.
& WARNING
The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on straight-ahead
braking traction tests, and does not include acceleration,
cornering, hydroplaning or peak traction characteristics.
& WARNING
The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflaÂ
tion , or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can
cause heat buildup and possible tire failure. •
Winter tires
Winter tires can improve vehicle handling on snow and
ice. At temperatures below 45 °F (7 °C) we recommend
changing to winter tires.
In some heavy snow areas, local governments may require true
winter or "snow" tires, those with very deeply cut tread. These tires
should only be used in pairs and be installed on all four wheels.
Make sure you purchase snow tires that are the same size and
construction type as the other tires on your vehicle.
I f your vehicle is equipped with all-wheel drive*, this will improve
traction during winter driving, even with the standard tires.
However, we strongly recommend that you always equip all four
wheels on your vehicle with correctly fitted winter tires or all-season
tires, when winter road conditions are expected . This also improves
the vehicle's braking performance and reduces stopping distances.
Summer tires provide less grip on ice and snow . Winter tires (snow tires) must always be fitted on all four wheels
.
Compatible tire pressure monitoring sensors* must be installed on
all four winter tires for the tire pressure monitoring system* to funcÂ
tion properly ~
page 256.
Ask your authorized Audi dealer or qualified workshop for permitted
winter tire sizes . Use only radial winter tires.
Winter tires lose their effectiveness when the tread is worn down to
a depth of 0.157 inch (4 mm) .
Only drive with winter tires under winter conditions. Summer tires
handle better when there is no snow or ice on the roads and the
temperature is above 45 °F (7 °C).
If you have a flat tire, see notes on spare wheel
~ page 254.
Please always remember that winter tires may have a lower speed
rating than the tires originally installed on your vehicle at the time
it was manufactured . Please see~
page 256, "Speed rating (letter
code)" for a listing of the speed rating letter codes and the
maximum speed at which the tires can be driven.
The speed rating letter code(~
page 256) is on the side wall of the
tire
~ page 254.
& WARNING
Winter tires have maximum speed limits that may be lower than
your vehicle's maximum speed. Always know the maximum speed
before driving off. Never drive faster than the speed permitted for
your specific winter tires. This will cause damage to the tires leading to an accident and serious personal injury to you and your
passengers.
& WARNING
Driving faster than the maximum speed for which the winter tires
on your vehicle were designed can cause tire failure including a
blowout and sudden deflation, loss of control, crashes and serious _,,

ately.
• Winter tires have ma ximum speed rating that may be lower
than your vehicle' s maximum speed.
• Never drive faster than the speed for which th e winter or other
tire s installed on your vehi cle are rated.
& WARNING
Always adjust your driving to the road and traffic condit ions .
Never let the good acceleration of the winter tire s and all -wheel
d rive tempt you into taking extra risks. Always remember :
• When braking , an all -wheel drive vehicle handles in the same
way as a front drive vehicle .
• Drive carefully and reduce your speed on icy and slippery roads ,
even winter tires cannot help under black ice conditions.
<£> For the sake of the environment
Use summer tires when weather conditions permit. They are
quieter, d o not wear as quick ly a nd r educe fuel cons ump tion.•
Snow chains
Sn ow cha ins may be fitte d only to th e fron t whee ls, and o nly to
certain tire sizes . Ask your authorized Audi dealer on which tire
s iz es snow c hains can be used.
If you are going to use snow cha ins, then you must install them on
the front wheels at least.
The s now chains mus t have low-pro file l inks and must not be thicker
than 0. 53 inch ( 13.5 mm), including the lock. Remove wheel
center covers and trim discs before putting snow
chains on y our vehicle =>
(D. For safety reasons cove r caps mus t
then be fitted over the wheel bo lts . These are avai lable from autho Â
r ized Audi deale rs .
& WARNING
Using the wrong snow chain s for your vehi cle or in stalling them
incorre ctly can increase the risk of loss of control leading to
serious personal injury.
• Snow cha ins are available in different sizes . Alw ays make sure
to follow the instructions provided by the snow chain manufac Â
turer .
• When driving with snow chains never drive faster than the
speed permitted for your specific snow chains .
• Always observe local regulations .
0 Note
• Remove snow c ha ins before driving o n roads not covered with
snow to avoid damaging tires and wearing the snow cha ins down

hubs. They can become loose while driving if greased or oiled,
even if tightened to the specified torque .
• Only use wheel bolts that belong to the rim being installed .
• Never use different wheels bolts on your vehicle.
• Always maintain the correct tightening torque for the wheel
bolts to reduce the risk of a wheel loss .
If the tightening torque of
the wheel bolts is too low, they can loosen and come out when the
vehicle is moving . If the tightening torque is too high, the wheel
bolts and threads can be damaged and the wheel can become

All tires are designed for certain purposes. The low aspect ratio,
u ltra high performance tires originally ins tal led o n your vehicle are
intended for maximum dry and wet road performance and hand ling.
They are no t suitable for cold, snowy or icy weather conditions . If
you drive under those circumstances, you should equip your vehicle
with al l- season or winter tires, which offer better traction under
those conditions. We suggest you use the recommended snow or
a ll-season tires specified for your vehicle, or their equiva lent.

Tire pressure monitoring system *
Applies to vehicles: with tire pressu re mon ito ring system
General notes _J
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked
month ly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recomÂ
mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size
than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation presÂ
sure label, you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure
for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a
tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire
pressure tellta le when one or more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. Accord ingly, when the low t ire pressure te llta le i llu Â
minates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible,
and inflate them to the proper pressure . Driving on a significantly
under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire
failure . Under -inflation also reduces fue l 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 mainte Â
nance, and it is the driver's responsibi lity to maintain correct tire
pressure, even if under -inflation has not reached the leve l to trigger
illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure te lltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indiÂ
cator to indica te when the system is not opera ting proper ly . The
T PMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure
t elltale. When the system detects a ma lfunction, the telltale w ill
flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle
start-ups as long as the malfunction exists .
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not
be ab le to detect or signa l low tire pressure as intended. TPMS
malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, inc luding the insta
llation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the
vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly . A lways
check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replac ing one or more
tires or whee ls on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or
alternate tires and wheels allow the TP MS to continue to function
proper ly. •
App lies to veh ic les: w ith tire pressure monitoring system
Introduction
The tire pressure monitoring system monitors air pressure
in all four road wheels while the vehicle is moving .
As soon as the tire pressure monitor ing syste m senses a signi ficant
loss of air pressure in one or severa l tires, text messages and yellow
symbols appear in the ins trument c luster dis play to alert the d river .
The warning light in the instrument cluster comes on when the
t ire is sig nificantly unde rinflated
~ page 12 .
The warn ing light { also i lluminates in the case of a system
malfunction.
Be aware that tire p ressu re is also dependent on the tempe ra ture of
the tire . For every 18 °F (1 O °Cl increase in tire temperature, tire pres Â
su re increases by about 1 .5 psi (0 .1 bar). The ti re wa rms up wh ile the
vehicle is moving and tire pressure rises. So you should adjust tire pressure only when they are
cold, when the temperature of the tires
is roughly the same as the ambient air temperature.
I n order to keep the tire pressure monitoring system properly cali Â
brated, tire pressure on all fou r tires sh ould be checked at regular
interva ls, adjusted if necessary, and saved in the proper setting
(recommended pressure)~
page 265.
The tire pressure is shown either on the driver's side B-pil lar or on
the inside of the fuel filler f lap . _..

& WARNING
• When the tire pressure monitoring system warning light is lit,
one or more of your tires is significantly underinflated. You should
stop and check your tires as soon as possible , and inflate them to
the proper pressure as indicated on the vehicle's tire pressure
label =>
page 246 . Driving on a significantly underinflated tire
causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. UnderinflaÂ
tion also is likely to impair the vehicle's handling and stopping
ability.
• Do not adjust tire pressure when tire temperature is excessive.
This could lead to serious tire damage and even cause the tire to
burst, with the additional danger of an accident.
~ For the sake of the environment
Driving with underinflated tires reduces fuel efficiency and tire
tread life.
[ i] Tips
• Each tire, including the spare , should be checked monthly when
the temperature of the tires is about the same as ambient air
temperature and set to the recommended inflation pressure as
specified on the tire pressure label=> page 246.
• Th e factory supplied spare wheel is equipped with a sensor for
the tire pressure monitoring system. As long as the spare wheel is
not mounted, the tire pressure of this tire will not be monitored.
• The tire pressure monitoring system helps the driver monitor tire
pressures, but the driver is still responsible for maintaining the
correct tire pressure.
• Tir e pressure must only be adjusted when the temperature of the
tires is about the same as ambient air temperature.
• When tires are replaced, the sensors and valves should not be
exchanged. The valve core, nut, valve sealing and seal washer (replacement kit) needs
to be replaced. If necessary, the valve and
the wheel electronics have to be replaced.
• Th e tire pressure monitoring system on your Audi was calibrated
using tires with the "AO" or "RO" identification. We recommend
using these tires.
• If you should put different wheels and tires on your vehicle (e.g.
winter wheels and tires), you must be certain that the wheels and
tires are compatible with the tire pressure monitoring system.
Otherwise the system will register a malfunction and a fault
message will be displayed. For more information, contact your
authorized Audi dealer.
• Adjust the tire pressure and store the pressure in the tire presÂ
sure monitoring system to the load you are carrying .
