Tire s an d wheel s 253
Bear in mind that the ti re press ure monitoring
system* can only monitor the tire pressures
you have stored. The system does not recog -
nize the load cond it ion of your vehicle.
The effectiveness of the tire pressure monitor -
ing system* will be impaired if you store nor-
mal load pressures but then operate the vehi -
cle at its maximum load
c;, & .
See the illustration c;, fig. 208 for the location
of the label on driver's side B-pillar (color of
the actua l labe l and exact location on the ve-
hicle will vary slightly).
Note that the following table is accurate at
the time of going to press and is subject to
change. In the event of d iscrepancies, the t ire
pressure label is located on the driver's side B-
pillar always takes precedence.
The table below lists the recommended cold
tire inflat ion pressures for the Audi mode l
covered by your Owner's Literature at the vehi-
cle's capacity weight and the t ire sizes instal-
led on the respective models as orig inal
equipment, or as a factory option.
