on the tire side-
wall.
The correct tire pressure for the
spore wheel
is
located on a label on the driver's side B-pillar.
Because technical changes may be made to
vehicle equ ipment dur ing the model year, a l-
ways compare the tire size designation on the
tire pressure labe l on your vehicle with the
tires on your vehicle . Make sure that the tire
size information on the vehicle label is the
same as the size of the ti res 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 We ight
Rating ("GVWR"). The Gross Axle Weight Rat-
ing ("GAWR") is the maximum loa d that can
be applied at each of the vehicle's two ax les .
The Gross Vehicle Weight Rat ing and the
Gross Axle Weight Rating are listed on the
safety compliance sticke r label located on the
driver's side B-pillar. The tire pressure labe l 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 ¢ fig. 176 .
A
WARNING
-
Overloading a vehicle can cause loss of ve-
hicle control, a crash or other accident, se-
rious personal injury, and even death.
- Carrying more we ight than your veh icle
was designed to carry wi ll prevent the
vehicle from handling properly and in-
crease the risk of a loss of vehicle con-
trol.
