-Tires and wheels
Determining correct load limit
Use the example below to calculate the
total weight of the passengers and
luggage or other things that you plan to
transport 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 OCCUPANTS AND CARGO
SHOULD NEVER EXCEED XXX KG OR XXX
LBS"on your vehicle's placard (tire infla­
tion pressure label)=> page 330, fig. 274.
2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers 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
330, fig. 274. 4. The resulting figure equals the available
amount of cargo and luggage load
capacity. For example, if the "XXX"
amount equals 1400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lbs. passengers in your
vehicle, the amount of available cargo
and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs.
(1400-750 (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 trailer will be transferred
to your vehicle. Consult this manual to
determine how this reduces the avail­
able cargo and luggage load capacity of
your vehicle.
- Check the tire sidewall (=> page
338,
fig. 278) to determine the designated
load rating for a specific tire. •

-~_T_ ir_e_ s_ a_ n_d _ w_ h_ e_e _l_s _________________________________________________ _
Tire manuf acturin g date
The manufacturing date is a lso indicated on the tire sidewall
(possibly only on the
inner side of the wheel):
"DOT ... 2207 ... " means, for example, the tire was produced in th e
22nd week of 2007.
Sp eed rating (l ett er code )
The speed rating letter code on the wheels indicates the maximum
permissible road speeds=>
& in "Winter tires" on page 343.
P up to 93 mph (150 km/h)
Q up to 99 mph (158 km/h)
R upto 106mph(170km /h)
S upto110mph(180km/h)
T upto118mph(190km/h)
U up to 124 mph (200 km /h)
H up to 130 mph (2 10 km/h)
V up to 149 mph (240 km/h)3>

Y up to 186 mph (298 km/h)3>
Your vehicle is normally factory equipped with tires, which possess
excellent driving characteristics and give your Audi optimum
driving comfort . An e lectronic speed limiter=>
page 28will normally
prevent your vehicle from going faster than the t ire speed rating
=> & .
U.S . D OT T ire Identifi cation Number (TIN ) an d tire
m anuf actur e date
This is the tire's "seria l number" . It begins with the letters "DOT"
and indicates that the tire meets all federal standards . The next two
numbers or letters indicate the plant where it was manufactured,
and the last four numbers represent the week and year of manufac-

ture. For example, the numbers 2207 mean the tire was produced in
the 22nd week of 2007. The other numbers are marketing codes that
may or may not be used by the tire manufacturer. This information
is used to contact consumers if a tire defect requires a recall.
T ire ply co mpositio n a nd m ate ria ls used
The number of p lies indicates the number of layers of rubber -coated
fabric in the tire. In genera l, the greater the number of p lies, the
more weight a tire can support. Tire manu facturers also must indi ­
cate the materials in the tire, which include steel, ny lon, polyester,
and others.
M ax im um Load R ating
This number indicates the maximum load in kilograms and pounds
that can be carried by the tire.
Tire quali ty grading f or tr eadwe ar, trac tion , and

Tread wear, traction and temperature grades=> page 342.
Max imum P ermi ssibl e Infl ation Press ure
This number is the greatest amount of air pressure that should ever
be put in the tire under norma l driving conditions.
Repl acin g tir es o r rim s on vehicles e quippe d with t ire
pr ess ure m onit orin g syste m*
The wheels on your vehicle are equipped with a sensor which
constantly monitors the a ir pressure inside the tire, and then trans ­
m its this in formation to the tire pressure mon itoring system*. If you
are going to replace the wheel rims on your vehicle , make sure the
new rims also have these sensors. The sensors must be compa tib le
with the tire pressure monitoring system * on your vehic le.
If you install rims, which do not have the sensors, or have sensors
which are not compatible, then the tire pressure monitoring system* will not work prope rly. In this case, the tire pressure moni ­
tor ing system * would not be able to monitor the tire pressu re or
warn you if it is necessary . .,_

& WARNING
• To reduce the risk of serious injury and vehicle damage .
- Always lift the vehicle only at the special workshop hoist and
floor jack lift points illustrated
=> page 371 , fig . 306 and
=> fig. 307.
- Failure to lift the vehicle at these points could cause the
vehicle to tilt or fall from a lift if there is a change in vehicle
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 corresponding weights to maintain the center of gravity. Otherwise , the vehicle might tilt or slip off the hoist,
causing serious personal injury .
0 Note
• Be awar e of the following points be fore liftin g the vehicle :
- The vehicle should never be lifted or jacked up from under­
neath 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 . _..

Weights
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), and the Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR) for front and rear are listed on a sticker on the left
door jamb.
The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating includes the weight of the basic
vehicle plus full fuel tank, oil and coolant, plus maximum load,
which includes passenger weight (150 lbs/68 kg per designated
seating position) and luggage w eight .
Gross Axle Weight Rating
The Gross Axle Weight Rating is the maximum load that can be
applied at each axle of the vehicle~& .
Vehicle capacity weight
The vehicle capacity weight (max. load) is listed either on the
driver's side B -pillar or inside the fuel fill er flap .
Roof weight
The maximum permissible roof weight is 220 lb (100 kg). The roof
weight is made up of the weight of the roof rack system and the
weight of the object being transported~ page 104, "Loading the
roof rack".
& WARNING
• The actual Gross Axle Weight Rating at the front and rear axles
should not exceed the permissible weights, and their combination
must not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.
• Exceeding permissible weight ratings can result in vehicle
damage, accidents and personal injury.

lllffl __ G_ e_n_ e_ r_ a _l _i_n _f _o _ r_ m_ a_ t_ i_ o _ n ________________________________________________ _
0 Note
• The vehicle capacity weight figures apply when the load is
distributed evenly in the vehicle (passengers and luggage). When
transporting a heavy load in the luggage compartment, carry the
load as near to the rear axle as possible so that the vehicle's
handling is not impaired.
• Do not exceed the maximum permissible axle loads or the
maximum gross vehic le weight. Always remember that the vehic le's
handling will be affected by the extra load. Therefore, adjust your
speed accordingly .
• Always observe local regulations. •
Dimensions
The specifications refer to the basic model. Differences may occur
depending on the mode l type and options ordered, for example, tire
sizes.
0 Note
When driving up steep ramps, on rough roads, over curbs, etc. it is
important to remember that some parts of your vehicle, such as
spoilers or exhaust system components, may be close to the
ground. Be careful not to damage them. •
