Before resetting the TPMS, the current
pressures of
all four tire s must correspond
to the specified values. Adjust the tire
pressure and reset the pressure in the tire
pressure monitoring system according to
the load you are carrying

Run-flat tires
Introduction
Applies to vehicles: with Run-flat tires
Run-flat tires help keep you moving if a tire
goes flat.
Reinforced s idewalls give the tires run-flat ca­
pability if tire pressure is lost.
We recommend that run-flat tires only be
mounted on vehicles that were originally
equ ipped w ith these special tires at the facto­
ry and have a Tire Pressure Monitor ing Sys­
tem.
Run-flat t ires can be ident ifi ed by th e lett ers
"RSC" on the tire sidewall.
If you do change the tires on yo ur vehicle from
normal to run-flat tires, you must buy the
specia l rims required for run-flat tires, and the
Ti re Pressure Monito ring System must be re­
programmed by an a uthorized Audi dea ler or
other qualified workshop.
What do run-flat tires do?
These special tires have run-flat capabilities
that help keep you moving if a tire loses pres­
sure and goes flat. Under favorable cond itions
tires can be driven
at l ea st 30 mil es (SO km ),
but you must not d rive fa ste r than SO mph
(80 km /h)
c::;, page 216, Driving with run-flat
tires .
Tire s an d wheel s 215
When it is not po ssible to continue
driv ing , ev en with run-flat tire s?
- If the Electronic Stabilization Program (ESP)
is not work ing or keeps coming on.
- If the Tire Pressure Monitoring System does
not work.
- If the tire has been severely damaged, in a
crash, for example. The tread can separate
from a damaged tire as the wheel turns, and
hit parts of the vehicle, such as the fuel tank
filler neck, fuel lines or brake lines.
- Do not continue driving if severe vibration
occurs or if the t ire starts to smoke because
the tire is ru nning hot.
- Do not continue driving if damage to the
tire, such as cracks in the sidewall, appears.
A WARNING
Improper use of run-flat tires can cause
vehicle damage that can lead to loss of ve­ h icl e cont ro l, a c rash and serious personal
in Jury.
- Run-flat tires can only be used with spe­
cial rims.
- Run-flat tires must always be monito red
with a prope rly p rogrammed Tire Pre­
ssure Monito ring System.
- Always inspect a tire that has lost air to
make sure it is sa fe to dr ive with the tire
in the run-flat mode.
- Never d rive with run-f lat t ires that have
been damaged in a co llision.
- Never d rive with run-flat t ires if heat
bu ild-up causes the tire to give off
smoke.
- Never d rive with run-f lat t ires if the vehi­
cle shakes or vibrates severely.
- Never d rive with a run-flat ti re that de­
velops s idewa ll cracks or other damage
while in use.
- I f you sw itch between standa rd and run­
f lat ti res, an aut horiz ed Aud i dealer o r
qu alified wor kshop must reprogram the
con tro l mod ule.

238 Genera l inform ation
G ro ss Ax le Weight Rating
The Gross Axle Weight Rating is the maximum
l oad that can be applied at each axle of the
vehicle ~&. .
Vehicle capacity weight
The vehicle capac ity we ight (max. load) is list­
ed eithe r on the dr iver's side B-pillar or inside
the fuel filler flap.
A WARNING
- The actual Gross Axle Weight Rat ing at
the front and rear axles should not ex­
ceed the perm iss ible weights, and their
combination must not exceed the Gross
Vehicle Weight Rat ing .
- Exceeding permissib le we ight ratings can
result in vehicle damage, accidents and
personal injury.
@ 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 vehi­
cle's handling is not impa ired.
- Do not exceed the maximum permissible
axle loads or the maximum gross vehicle
weight. Always remembe r that the vehi­
cle's handling will be affected by the ex­
tra load. Therefore, adjust your speed ac­
cordingly.
- Always obse rve loca l regu lations.
Dimensions
-
The spec ifications refer to the basic model.
Differences may occ ur depending on the mod­
e l type and options ordered, for examp le, tire
sizes.
(D Note
When driving up steep ramps, on rough
roads, ove r curbs, etc. it is important to re­
member that some parts of your vehicle, such as spoi
le rs or exhaust system compo­
nents, may be close to the ground. Be
careful not to damage them.
