tighten wheel bolts, since the bolts cannot
attain the necessary tightening torque if you
use the hex head, potentially causing an ac­
cident.

for your vehicle model. Under no circum­ stances should it be used to lift heavy
veh icles or other loads; you risk injuring
yourself.
- Never start the engine when the veh icle is
raised, which could cause an accident.
- Support the vehicle securely with a ppropri­
ate stands if work is to be performed under­
neath the vehicle; otherwise, there is a po­
tential risk for injury .
- Never use the jack supplied with your Aud i
on another vehicle, particularly on a heavier
one. The jack is only suitable for use on the

\.J - There are some restrictions on the use of the
spare tire. The spare tire has been designed spe ­
cifically for your type of vehicle. Do not replace it
with the spare tire from another type of vehicle.
Spac e-sav ing spar e tir e*
The tire pressure must be 61 PSI (4.2 bar).
Remo ving the spar e tire
~ Fold the cargo floor up to the rear bench seat .
~ Turn the handwheel counter-clockw ise and re-
move it.
~ Remove the spare tire.
Snow cha ins
Using snow chains on the spare tire is not perm it ­
ted due to technical reasons .
If you have to drive with snow chains and a front
tire fails, mount the spare tire in place of a rear
tire . Install the snow chains on the rear tire that
you removed, and install that in place of the
front tire that failed.
A WARNING
-
- After installing a spare t ire, the tire pres­
s u re must be checked as quickly as poss ible.
- Do not drive faster than 50 mph (80 km/h)
with a spare tire. Dr iv ing faster than that in ­
creases the risk of an acc ident.
- Avoid full-throttle accelerat ion, heavy b rak­
ing, and fast cornering, beca use this in­
creases the risk of an accident.
- Never drive us ing more than one spare t ire,
because th is increases the risk of an acci­
dent.
- Norma l t ires o r winter tires must not be
mounted on the spare tire rim .
- Only use the co llaps ible spa re ti re in emer­
gencies and dr ive very carefu lly, especially if

Emergency situations
-Before you check anything in the engine
compartment, always read and heed all
WARNINGS
c> page 199.
(D Note
Improper hook-up of jumper cables can ruin
the generator.
-Always connect POSITIVE(+) to POSITIVE
(+), and NEGATIVE(-) to NEGATIVE(-)
ground post of the battery manager control
unit.
- Check that all screw plugs on the battery
cells are screwed in firmly. If not, tighten
plugs prior to connecting clamp on negative
battery terminal.
- Please note that the procedure for connect­
ing a jumper cable as described above ap­
plies specifically to the case of your vehicle
being jump started . When you are giving a
jump start to another vehicle, do
not con­
nect the negative (-) cable to the negative
(-) terminal on the discharged battery @
c> fig. 215. Instead, securely connect the
negative(-) cable to either a solid metal
component that is firmly bolted to the en­
gine block or to the engine block itself. If
the battery that is being charged does not
vent to the outside, escaping battery gas
could ignite and explode!
Towing with a tow truck
General hints
Your Audi requires special handling for towing.
The following information is to be used by com­
mercial tow truck operators who know how to op­
erate their equipment safely.
- Never tow your Audi. Towing will cause dam­
age to the engine and transmission.
- Never wrap the safety chains or winch cables
around the brake lines.
- To prevent unnecessary damage, your Audi
must be transported with a flat bed truck.
- To load the vehicle on to the flat bed, use the
towing loop found in the vehicle tools and at-
256
tach to the front or rear anchorage
c>page 256 and ¢page 257.
A WARNING
A vehicle being towed is not safe for passen­
gers . Never allow anyone to ride in a vehicle
being towed, for any reason.
