serious personal injuries.
- Never use the screw driver hex head to
tighten wheel bolts, since the bolts can­
not attain the necessary tighten ing tor­
que if you use the hex head, potentially
causing an accident.
- The factory-supplied jack is intended on­
ly for your vehicle model. Under no cir­
cumstances should it be used to lift
heavy vehicles or other loads; you risk in­
juring yo urself.
- Never start the engine when the vehicle
is raised, wh ich could cause an accident.
- Support the vehicle securely with appro­
priate stands if work is to be performed
underneath the vehicle; otherwise, there
is a potential risk for injury.

Audi on another vehicle, particularly on a
heavier one. The jack is only suitable for
use on the vehicle it came with.

row on the side of the ti re .

correct direct ion, use the spare tire only
temporarily s ince the tire will not be able to
achieve its optim um performance cha racte r­
