266 Tire s and wheels
& WARNING
-If the tire pressure warning light ti] in
the instrument cluster turns on, the
pressure in one or more tires is too low.
Reduce the vehicle speed immediately
and avoid any hard steering or braking
maneuvers . Stop as soon as possible,
check the t ire and inflate the tire to the
correct pressure, which is specified on
the tire pressu re label on the veh icle
¢ page 240. Driving with a t ire with low
pressure causes the tire to overheat and
can result in failure of the tire . Low pres ­
sure can a lso have a negative effect on
the driving and braking behavior of the
vehicle.
- The driver is responsible for maintaining
the correct tire pressures. You must
check the t ire pressures regularly.
- Under certain conditions (such as a spor­
ty driving style, winter conditions or un­
paved roads), the pressure monitor ind i­
cator may be delayed .
- Ask your author ized dealer if run-flat
t ires may be used on your vehicle.
- The tire pressure monitoring system can
also stop work ing when there is an ESC
malfunction.
- Using snow chains may result in a system
malfunction.
- The tires with the identification "AO" or
"RO" ¢ page 254 have been matched
with your Audi tire pressure monitoring
system. We recommend that you use
these tires.
- The tire pressure monitoring system can
only mon itor the t ire pressure of the
driving tires . Check the tire pressure of
the spare wheel in the luggage compart­ ment so that if necessary it is ready for
us e.
-
Storing tire pressures
Applies to vehicles: wit h tire press ure mo nitor ing system
A change in tire pressure or a change in tires
must be stored in the system.
The tire pressure is stored in the MMI.
.. Make sure before storing that the tire pres ­
sures of a ll four tires meet the specified va l­
ues and are adapted to the load. Otherwise
the system could malfunction
¢ page 240.
.. Switch on the ignition.
.. Select: the
I MENU I button >Car > Systems*
control button > Service & control > Tire
pressure monitor > Store tire pre ssure >
Yes, store now.
(D Tips
Do not store the tire pressures if snow
chains are installed. Otherwise the system
could malfunction.

274 What do I do no w?
When removing or installing the wheel,
the rim could hit the brake rotor and dam­
age the rotor. Work carefully and have a
second person help you.
Never use the hexagonal socket in the han ­
dle of the screwdriver to loosen or t ighten
the wheel bolts.
- Pull the reversible b lade from the screw­
driver before yo u use the hexagonal
socket in the handle to turn the whee l
bo lts.
- When mounting tires with
unid irectional
tread design
make sure the tread pat­
tern is pointed the r ight way
¢page 274.
- The wheel bolts should be clea n and easy
to tu rn . Check for d irt and corrosion on
the mat ing su rfaces of both the whee l
and the h ub. Remove a ll dirt from these
su rfaces before remo unti ng the wheel.
Tires with unidirectional tread design
Tires with unidirectional tread design must be
mounted with their tread pattern p ointed in
the right direction.
Using a spare tire with a tread pattern
intended for use in a specific direction
When using a sp are tire w ith a tread pa tte rn
i nten ded for use in a specific direc tion, p lease
note t he following:
- T he direction of rotation is marked by an a r­
row on the side of the tire.
- If the spare t ire has to be installed in the in­
c orrec t direction, use the spa re tire only
tempor arily si nce the t ire will no t be able to
achieve its op timum performance character­
istics with regard to aquaplaning, noise and
wear .
- We recommend tha t you pay particular a t­
tention to this fact during wet weather and
that you adjust your speed to matc h road
condit ions. -
Replace the flat ti re with a new one and
have it insta lled on your vehicle as soo n as
possible to resto re the hand ling advantages
of a unidirectional tire.
Notes on wheel changing
Please read t he information ¢ page 254, New
tires and replacing tires and wheels
if you a re
going to use a spa re tire which is different
from the t ires on you r vehicle.
After you change a tire:
- Check the tire pre ssure on the spare imme­
diately after installation .
- Have the wheel bolt tightening torque
c hecked with a torque wrench as soon as
possible by your author ized Audi dealer or
a qualified service stat ion.
- With steel and alloy wheel r ims, the wheel
bolts a re co rrectly tightened at a torque of
90 ft lb (120 Nm ).
- If you notice that the wheel bolts are cor ­
roded and difficult to turn while changing
a tire , they should be replaced before you
check the t ightening torque .
- Replace the flat tire w ith a new one and
have it installed on your vehicle as soon as
po ssible . Remount the wh eel cover.
Until then , dr ive with e xtra care and at re­
duced speeds.
