slightly.
"'Remove the alignment pin and insert and tight­
en the remaining wheel bolt slightly like the
rest.
"'T urn the jack handle* counter-clockwise to low­
er the vehicle until the jack* is fully released .
"'U se the whee l bolt wrench to tighten all wheel
bolts firmly¢
page 261. Tighten them cross­
wise,
from one bolt to the (approximately) op­
posite one, to keep the wheel centered.
@ Note
When removing or installing the wheel, the
r im could hit the brake rotor and damage the
rotor. Work carefu lly and have a second per­
son help you.
(D Tips
Never use the hexagonal socket in the handle
of the screwdriver to loosen or tighten the
wheel bolts.
- Pull the reversib le blade from the screwdriv­
er before you use the hexagonal socket in
the handle to turn the wheel bolts.
- When mounting tires with
unidirectional
tread design
make sure the tread pattern is
pointed the right way
¢page 264.
-The wheel bolts should be clean and easy to
turn. Check for dirt and corrosion on the
mating surfaces of bot h the wheel and the
hub. Remove all dirt from these surfaces be­
fore remounting the wheel.
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 us ing a spare tire w ith a tread pattern in­
tended for use in a specific direct ion, please note
the following:
- The direction of rotation is marked by an arrow
on the side of the tire .
264
-If the spare tire has to be installed in the incor­
rect direction, use the spare tire only tempora ­
r il y since the tire w ill not be ab le to achieve its
optimum performance character istics with re­
gard to aquaplaning, noise and wear.
- We recommend that you pay part icu lar atten­
tion to th is fact during wet weather and that
you adjust your speed to match road condi­
tions.
- Replace the flat tire with a new one and have it
installed on your veh icle as soon as possible to
resto re the handling advantages of a unidirec­
tional tire.
Notes on wheel changing
Please read the information ¢ page 242, New
tires ar wheels
if you are going to use a spare tire
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 a
qualified workshop.
- With steel and alloy wheel rims, the wheel
bolts are correctly tightened at a torque of
105 ft lb (140 Nm).
- 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.
&_ WARNING
- If you are going to equ ip your vehi cle w ith
tires or rims which differ from those which
were factory installed, then be sure to read
the information ¢

Bulbs
Replacing light bulbs
For your safety, we recommend that you have
your authorized Audi dealer replace burned out bulbs for you.
It is becoming increasingly more and more diffi­
cult to replace vehicle light bulbs since in many
cases, other parts of the car must first be re­
moved before you are ab le to get to the bulb.
This applies espec ially to the light bulbs in the
front of you r car which you can only reach
through the engine compartment.
Fuses and bulbs
Sheet metal and bulb holders can have sharp
edges that can cause serious cuts, and parts
must be correctly taken apart and then properly
put back together to help prevent breakage of
parts and long term damage from water that can
enter housings that have not been proper ly re­
sealed .
For your safety, we recommend that you have
your authorized Aud i dealer replace any bulbs for
you, since your dealer has the proper too ls, the
correct bulbs and the expertise .
Gas discharge lamps (Xenon lights )*:
Due to the high e lectrica l voltage, have the bulbs
replaced by a qualified technician. Headlights
with Xenon light can be identif ied by the high
vo ltage sticker.
A WARNING
Contact with high-voltage components of the
electr ical system and improper replacement
of gas discharge (Xenon) headlight bulbs can
cause ser ious personal injury and death.
- Xenon bulbs are pressur ized and can ex-
plode when being changed.
- Changing Xenon lamps requ ires the special
train ing, instructions and equipment.
- Only an authorized Audi dealer or other
qualified workshop should change the bulbs
in gas discharge lamps.
A WARNING "'--
There are parts with sharp edges on the open-
in gs and on the bulb holders that can cause
serious cuts.
- If you are uncertain about what to do, have
the wor k performed by an authorized Aud i
dealer or other qualified workshop. Serious
personal injury may resu lt from improperly
performed work .
(D Tips
-If you must replace the light bulbs yourself,
always remember that the engine compart­
ment of any vehicle is a hazardous area to
work in . Always read and heed all WARN­
INGS¢ page 221 ¢ .&,.

Emergency situations
General
This chapter is intended for trained emergency
crews and working personnel who have the nec­
essary tools and equipment to perform these
operations.
Starting by pushing or
towing
(D Note
Vehicles with an automatic transmission
cannot be started by pushing or towing.
Starting with jumper
cables
If necessary, the engine can be started by con­
necting it to the battery of another vehicle.
If the engine should fail to start because of a dis­
charged or weak battery, the battery can be con­
nected to the battery of
another vehicle, using a
pair of jumper cables to start the engine .
Jumper cables
Use only jumper cables of sufficiently large cross
section
to carry the starter current safely. Refer
to the manufacturer's specifications.
Use only jumper cables with
insulated terminal
clamps which are distinctly marked:
plus(+) cable in most cases colored red
minus(-) cable
in most cases colored black.
A WARNING
Batteries contain electricity, acid, and gas.
Any of these can cause very serious or fatal in­
jury . Follow the instructions below for safe
handling of your vehicle's battery.
-Always shield your eyes and avoid leaning
over the battery whenever possible.
-A discharged battery can freeze at tempera­
tures just below 32 °F (0 °C). Before con­
necting a jumper cable, you must thaw the
Emergency situations
frozen battery completely, otherwise it
could explode.
- Do not allow battery acid to contact eyes or
skin. Flush any contacted area with water immediately.
- Improper use of a booster battery to start a
vehicle may cause an explosion.
- Vehicle batteries generate explosive gases.
Keep sparks, flame and lighted cigarettes
away from batteries.
- Do not try to jump start any vehicle with a
low acid level in the battery.
- The voltage of the booster battery must al­
so have a 12-Volt rating. The capacity (Ah)
of the booster battery should not be lower
than that of the discharged battery. Use of
batteries of different voltage or substantial­
ly different" Ah" rating may cause an explo­
sion and personal injury.
- Never charge a frozen battery. Gas trapped
in the ice may cause an explosion.
- Never charge or use a battery that has been
frozen. The battery case may have be weak­
ened ,
- Use of batteries of different voltage or sub­ stantially different capacity (Ah) rating may
cause an explosion and injury. The capacity
(Ah) of the booster battery should not be
lower than that of the discharged battery.
- Before you check anything in the engine
compartment, always read and heed all
WARNINGS
q page 221.
(D Note
-Applying a higher voltage booster battery
will cause expensive damage to sensitive
electronic components, such as control
units, relays, radio, etc.
- There must be no electrical contact between
the vehicles as otherwise current could al­
ready start to flow as soon as the positive
(+) terminals are connected.
(D Tips
- The discharged battery must be properly
connected to the vehicle's electrical system. .,..
271

Emergency situation s
When jump starting or charging the battery,
never connect the negative ground cable to
the battery negative post because the bat­
tery manager system must be able to detect
the battery's state of charge. Always con­ nect the negative ground cable to the nega ­
tive ground post of the battery manager
control un it.
Use of jumper cables
Make sure to connect the jumper cable clamps in
exactly the order described below!
