Tires with unidirectional tread design
Tires with unidirectional tread design must be
mounted with their tread pattern pointed in the
right direction.
Using a spare tire with a tread pattern
intended for use in a specific direction
When using a spare tire with a tread pattern in ­
tended for use in a specific direction, please note
the following:
- The direction of rotation is marked by an
arrow
on the side of the tire.
-If the spare tire has to be installed in the incor­
rect direction, use the spare tire only tempora­
rily since the tire w ill not be ab le to achieve its
opt imum performance character istics with re­
gard to aquaplaning, noise and wear.
- We recommend that you pay particular atten­
t ion to this fact during wet weather and that
you adjust your speed to match road condi­
t ions.
- Replace the f lat t ire with a new one and have it
installed on your vehicle as soon as possible to
restore the hand ling advantages of a unidirec­
t iona l tire.
Notes on wheel changing
Pl ease read the informat ion ~page 212, New

which is different from the tires on your vehicle.
After you change a tire :
-Check the tire pressure on the spare immedi­
ately after installation.
- Have the wheel bolt tightening torque
checked with a torque wrench as soon as pos­
sible by your authorized Audi dealer or quali­

- With steel and alloy wheel rims, the wheel
bolts are correctly tightened at a torque of 90
ft lbs . (120 Nm) .
Emergency assistance
-If you notice that the wheel bolts are corroded
and difficult to turn while changing a tire,
they should be replaced before you check the
tightening torque.
- Replace the flat tire with a new one and have
it installed on your vehicle as soon as possi ­
ble. Remount the wheel cover.
Until then , drive with extra care and at reduced
speeds.
