Because tec hnical changes may be made to
vehicle equipment dur ing the model year, al-
ways compare the tire size designation on the
tire pressure label on you r vehicle w it h the
tires on your vehicle. Make sure that the ti re
size information on the vehicle label is the
same as the size of the tires on the vehicle.
This is especially important if the vehicle be-
longs to someone else or you bought the vehi-
cle with different rims/tires or you bought the
vehicle as a previously owned vehicle.
Remember, your safety and that of your pas-
sengers also depends on making sure that
load limits are not exceeded. Vehicle load in-
cludes everybody and everything in and on the
vehicle . These load lim its are technically refer-
red to as the vehicle's Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating ("GVWR"). The Gross Axle Weight Rat-
ing ("GAWR") is t he maximum load that can
be appli ed at each of the vehicle's two axles.
The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating and the
Gross Axle Weight Rating are listed on the
safety compliance stic ker label located either
on the driver's side B-pillar. The tire pressure
label on your Audi lists the maximum com-
bined weight of all of the occupants and lug-
gage or other cargo that the vehicle can carry.

WARNING
Overloading a vehicle can cause loss of ve-
hicle cont rol, a crash or other accident, se-
rious personal injury, and even death.
- Carrying more we igh t than your vehicle
was designed to carry wi ll prevent the
vehicle from handling properly and in-
crease the risk of a loss of vehicle con-
trol.
- The brakes on a vehicle that has been
overloaded may not be able to stop the
vehicle w ith in a safe distance.
- Tires on a vehicle that has been overload-
ed can fail suddenly causing loss of con-
trol and a crash.

WARNING
- Incorrect tire pressures and/or underin-
flation can lead to a serious or fatal acci-
dent.
- Inco rrect tire pressures and/or underin-
f lation cause increased tire wear and can
affect the handling of the vehicle.
- Inco rrect tire pressures and/or underin-
f lation can also lead to sudden t ire fail-
ure, including a blowout and sudden de-
fl ation, causing loss of vehicle cont rol.
