vehicle at its maximum capacity weight and tires that were on your
vehicle at the t ime it was manufactured.
If you wish to improve comfort when operating the vehicle at
normal load (up to 3 occupants) , you can adjust tire pressures to
those specified for normal vehicle load. Before operating the
vehicle at maximum load, you must increase the tire pressures to
those specified for maximum vehicle load
=> & .
Bear in mind that the tire pressure monitoring system* can only
monitor the tire pressures you have stored. The system does not
recogn ize the load condit ion of your vehicle.
The effectiveness of the tire pressure monitoring system* will be
impaired if you store normal load pressures but then ope rate the
vehicle at its maximum load

See the illustration => page 28 7, fig. 206 for the locat ion of the label
either on d river's side B-pillar or inside the fuel filler flap (color of the
actual label and exact location on the vehicle will vary slightly).
Note that the following tab le is accurate at the time of going to press
and is subject to change. In the event of discrepancies, the tire pres-
sure label (On USA vehicles, the tire pressure label is located on the
dr iver's side B-pillar. On Canada vehicles, the tire pressure labe l is
located e ither on the driver's s ide B-pillar or inside the fuel filler flap)
always takes precedence.
The table below lists the recommended cold tire inflation pressures
for the Audi model covered by your Owner's Literat ure at the vehicle's
capacity weight and the tire sizes installed on the res pective models
as origina l equipment, or as a factory option.

XL= reinforced or extra load tire. It may also appear as xl, EXTRA LOAD, or RF on the tire sidewall.
The cor rect tire pressu re for the spare wheel is located on a label
either on the driver's side B-pillar or inside the fuel filler flap.
Because technical changes may be made to vehicle equipment during
the model year, always compare the t ire s ize des ignation on the tire
pressu re lab el on you r vehicle with the tires on you r vehicle. Make
sure that the tire size information on the vehicle label is the same as
the s ize of the tires on the vehicle. This is especially important if the
vehicle belongs to someone else or you bought the vehicle with .,_
