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 drive r's side B-pilla r.
Because technical changes may be made to
vehicle equ ipment dur ing the model year, al-
ways compare the tire size designation on the
tire pressure label on your vehi cle with the
tires on your vehicle. Make sure that the tire
size info rmation on the veh icle label is the
same as the size of the tires on the vehicle.
This is especia lly 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 a nd that of your pas-
sengers also depends on making sure that
load lim its 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 Rat ing and the
Gross Axle Weight Rating are listed on the
safety comp lianc e sticker lab el located on the
driver's side B-pillar . The tire pressu re labe l on
your Audi lists the maximum combined .,.
