Inflating a tire
"'Screw the fill ing hose for the compressor onto
the t ire va lve and insert the connector into the
cigarette lighter.
• Inflate the tire to between 29 PSI (200 kPA)
and 36 PSI (250 kPA) and read the pressure on
the gauge.
"' If this tire pressure is not reached, dr ive your
veh icle app rox imately 33 ft (10 meters) for ­
ward or backward so that the sealant can be re­ distr ibuted ins ide the tire . If at th is time the re­
qui red a ir pressure st ill canno t be reached, the
t ire is too badly damaged and cannot be re­
pa ired with the tire sealant.
Final inspection
"' Stop the vehicle after driving for about 10 mi­
nutes and che ck the t ire p ress ure .
"'I f the tire pressure is lower than 19 PSI
( 1 30 kPA), then the tire is too seve rely dam­
aged. Do not continue driving . Please seek pro­
fessiona l assistance .
A WARNING
-
- Turn on the emergency flashers if you have a
flat tire while in moving traffic. This is for

other drivers .
- Take care to move all of the passengers to a
safe place (behind a guard rail for examp le).
- Read and follow the manufacturer's safety
precautions on the compressor and in the instructions on the bottle of sealant!
- If a tire pressure of 29 PSI (200 kPA) cannot
reached after inflating for 12 minutes, then
the t ire is too severely damaged . Do not
continue dr iv ing .
- Obta in qualified help if it is not possible to
perform t he repair w ith the t ire sea lant.
- If the tire pressure is less than 19 PSI
(130 kPA) after 10 minutes of drivi ng, then

{D) Tips
If a wheel bolt is very tight, you may find it
easier to loosen by carefully pushing down on
the end of the wheel bolt wrench with
one
foot only.
As you do so, hold on to the car to
keep your balance and take care not to slip.
Raising the vehicle

Position the jack* only under the designated lift­
ing points on the sill
c::> fig. 219. There is exactly
one location for each wheel. The jack* must not
be positioned at any other location
c::> .&. c::>(D.
An unstable surface under the jack* can cause
the vehicle to slip off the jack* . Always provide a
firm base for the jack* on the ground . If necessa­
ry place a sturdy board or similar support under
the jack*. On
hard, slippery surfaces (such as
tiles) use a rubber mat or similar to prevent the
jack* from slipping

Emergency assistance
"' Use the hexagonal socket in the screwdriver
handle to screw in and tighten all wheel bolts
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 ¢
