soon as poss ible.
& WARNING
• If the tir e pres sure indicator appears in the instrument cluster
display, one or more of your tires i s significantly under-inflated.
Reduce your speed immediately and avoid any hard steering or
braking maneuvers. Stop as soon a s possible and check the tires
and their pressures . Inflate the tire pressure to the proper pres­
sure as indicated on the vehicle 's tire pressure label~
page 297.
Driving on a significantly under -inflated tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under -inflation also is likely
to impair the vehicle's handling and stopping ability.
& WARNING (co ntinued )
• The driver is re sponsible for maintaining the correct tire pres­
sures . You must check the tire pres sures regularly .
• Under certain conditions (such as a sporty driving style , winter
conditions or unpaved roads) , the pressure monitor indicator may
be delayed.
• Ask your authorized Audi dealer if run-flat tires may be used on
your vehicle . Your vehicle registration becomes invalid if you u se
the se tires when not permitted. Damage to your vehicle or acci­
dents could also result.

What do I do now? -________________ PfWII
- Screw the threaded end of the alignment pin from the
tool kit hand-tight into the empty bo lt hole~
page 322,
fig. 232.
- Then re m ove the o ther wheel bolts as described above.
- Take off t he w heel leaving the alignment pin i n the bolt
hole.
Putting on the spare wheel
- Lift the spare wheel and carefully slide it over the alig n­
ment pi n to guide it in p lace .
- Use the hexagona l socket in the screwdriver handle to
screw in and tighte n all w heel bolts
slightly.
- Remove the alig nment pi n and inse rt an d tighten the
remaining wheel bolt slig htly like the rest.
- Turn the jac k han dle counter-c lockwise to lower the
ve hicle u ntil the jack is fully released.
- Use the wheel bolt wrench to t ighten all whee l bolts firmly
~ page 320 . Tighten them crosswise, from one bolt to
the (approximately) opposite one, to keep the w heel
centered.
[I] Tips
Never use the hexagonal socket i n the handle of the screwdriver to
loosen or tighten the wheel bolts.
• Pull the reve rsible blade from the screwdriver before yo u use the
hexagonal socket in the handle to t urn the whee l bolts.
• When mounting tires with
unidirectional tread design make sure
t he tread pa ttern is po inted the right way~
page 323.
Safety first
• The wheel bolts should be clea n and easy to turn. Check for dirt
and cor rosion on the mat ing surfa ces o f bo th the whee l and the hub.
Remove all d irt from these surfaces before remounting the wheel. •
Tires with unidirectional tread design
Tires with unidirectional tread design must be mounted
with their trea d pattern pointed in the right direction .
Using a spare tire with a tread pattern intended for
use in a specific direction
When using a spare tire w ith a tread pattern intended for use in a
specific direction, p lease note the fo llow ing:
• T he direct ion of rotation is marked by an ar row on the s ide of the
tire.
• If the spare tire has to be installed in the incor rect d irect ion, use
the spare tire only tempo rari ly since the tire wi ll not be ab le to
achieve its optimum pe rforma nce charact erist ics with rega rd to
aquaplaning, noise and wear.
• We recommend that you pay particular attention to this fact
during wet weather and that you adjust your speed to match road
condit ions.
• Replace the flat t ire with a new one and have it installed on your
vehicle as soon as possible to restore the handling advantages of a
unidirect iona l tire .•
Notes on wheel changing
Please read the information~ page 305, "New tires and replacing
t ires and wheels" if yo u are go ing to use a spa re t ire wh ich is d iffe rent
from the tires on yo ur vehicle .
