XL= reinforced or extra load tire. It may also appear as xl, EXTRA LOAD, or RF on the tire side-
wall.
The correct tire pressure for the spare wheel is
located on a label on the driver's side B-pillar.
Because technical changes may be made to
vehicle equipment during the model year, al-
ways compare the tire size designation on the
tire pressure label on your vehicle with the
tires on your vehicle . Make sure that the tire
size information on the veh icle label is the
same as the size of the t ires 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 limits are technically refer-
red to as the vehicle's Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating ("GVWR"). The Gross Axle Weight Rat-
ing ("GAWR") is the maximum load that can
be applied at each of the vehicle's two axles.
The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating and the
Gross Axle Weight Rating are listed on the
safety comp liance sticker label located on the
drive r's side B-pillar . The tire pressure label on
your Audi lists the maximum combined
weight of all of the occupants and luggage or
other cargo that the vehicle can carry. For the
location of the tire pressure label ¢

A
WARNING
._
Overloading a vehicle can cause loss of ve-
hicle contro l, a crash or other accident, se-
rious personal injury, and even death.
- Carrying more weight than your vehicle
was designed to carry will prevent the
veh icle from handling properly and in-
crease the risk of a loss of vehicle con-
trol.
