What do I do now? -
----------------
•
-Screw the threaded end of the alignment pin from the
tool kit hand-tight into the now vacant bolt hole
=:> page 270, fig. 177.
- Then completely unscrew the other wheel bolts as
described above.
- Take off the wheel leaving the alignment pin in the bolt
hole.
Putting on the wheel
- Lift the spare wheel and carefully slide it over the align­
ment pin to guide it in place.
- Use the hexagonal socket in the screwdriver handle to
screw in and tighten all wheel bolts slightly.
- Unscrew the alignment pin and insert and tighten the
remaining wheel bolt slightly like the rest.
- Turn the jack handle counter -clockwise to lower the
vehicle until the jack is fully released.
- Use the wheel bolt wrench to tighten all wheel bolts
firmly =:> page 268. Tighten them crosswise, from one
bolt to the (approximately) opposite one, to keep the
wheel centered.
[ i J Tips
Never use the hexagonal socket in the handle of the screwdriver to
loosen or tighten the wheel bolts.
• Pull the reversible blade from the screwdriver 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 272.
• The wheel bolts should be clean and easy to turn. Check for dirt
and corrosion on the mating surfaces of both the wheel and the
hub . Remove all dirt from these surfaces before remounting the
wheel. •
Notes on wheel change
Please read the information~ page 249, "New tires and replacing
tires and 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 immediately after
mounting.
• Have the wheel bolt tightening torque checked with a torque
wrench as soon as possible by your authorized Audi dealer or a qualified service station .
• With steel and alloy wheel rims, the wheel bolts are correctly
tightened at a torque of 90 ft lb (120 Nml.
• If you notice while changing a tire that the wheel bolts are
corroded and difficult to turn, then 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 possible. Remount the wheel cover.
Until then, drive with extra care and at reduced speeds.
& WARNING
• If you are going to equip your vehicle with tires or rims which
differ from those which were factory installed, then be sure to read
the information
~ page 249, "New tires and replacing tires and
wheels".
• Always store the tools securely in luggage compartment.
Otherwise, in an accident or sudden maneuver they could fly
forward, causing injury to passengers in the vehicle.

"Connecting/d isconnecting the jumper cable .". When
doing so, make sure t hat the cable cannot contact
rotating engine parts.
14 . Close the cover on the pos itive terminal.
The battery is vented to the outside to prevent gases from entering
the vehic le interior. Make sure that the jumper clamps are well
connected with their
metal parts in full contact with the battery
termina ls .

Improper hook -up of jumper cables can ruin the generator .
• Always connect POS ITIVE ( +l to POSITIVE(+), and NEGAT IVE( -) to
NEGAT IVE( -) ground post of the battery manager control unit .
• Check that al l screw plugs on the battery cells are screwed in
firm ly . I f 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 applies specifical ly to the case of your vehicle
being jump started. When you are giving a jump start to another
vehicle, do
not connect the negative(-) cable to the negative 1- l
terminal on the discharged battery@. Instead, securely connect
the negative( -) cable to either a sol id metal component that is
firm ly bolted to the engine 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! •

& WARNING
• To reduce the risk of serious injury and vehicle damage .
- Always lift the vehicle only at the special workshop hoist and
floor jack lift points illustrated
~ page 283, fig. 188 and
~ page 283, fig. 189.
- Failure to lift the vehicle at these points could cause the
vehicle to tilt or fall from a lift if there is a change in vehicle
weight distribution and balance. This might happen, for
example, when heavy components such as the engine block or
transmission are removed.
• When removing heavy components like these, anchor vehicle
to hoist or add corresponding weights to maintain the center of
gravity. Otherwise, the vehicle might tilt or slip off the hoist,
causing serious personal injury.
0 Note
• Be aware of the following points before lifting the vehicle:
- The vehicle should never be lifted or jacked up from under­
neath the engine oil pan, the transmission housing, the front or
rear axle or the body side members . This could lead to serious
damage.
- To avoid damage to the underbody or chassis frame, a rubber
pad must be inserted between the floor jack and the lift points.
- Before driving over a workshop hoist, check that the vehicle
weight does not exceed the permissible lifting capacity of the hoist .
- Before driving over a workshop hoist, ensure that there is sufficient clearance between the hoist and low parts of the
vehicle. •

Weights
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), and the Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR) for front and rear are listed on a sticker on the left
door jamb.
Controls and equip­ ment Safety first Vehicle operation
The
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating includes the weight of the basic
vehicle plus full fuel tank, oil and coolant, plus maximum load,
which includes passenger weight (150 lbs/68 kg per designated
seating position) and luggage weight.
Gross Axle Weight Rating
The Gross Axle Weight Rating is the maximum load that can be
applied at each axle of the vehicle~&.
Vehicle capacity weight
The vehicle capacity weight (max. load) is listed either on the
driver's side 8 -pillar or inside the fuel filler flap.
& WARNING
• The actual Gross Axle Weight Rating at the front and rear axles
should not exceed the permissible weights, and their combination
must not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.
• Exceeding permissible weight ratings can result in vehicle
damage, accidents and personal injury.
0 Note
• The vehicle capacity weight figures apply when the load is
distributed evenly in the vehicle (passengers and luggage). When
transporting a heavy load in the luggage compartment, carry the
load as near to the rear axle as possible so that the vehicle's
handling is not impaired.
• Do not exceed the maximum permissible axle loads or the
maximum gross vehicle weight. Always remember that the vehicle's
handling will be affected by the extra load. Therefore, adjust your
speed accordingly.
• Always observe local regulations. •

& W
ARNING (continued )
• Do not attempt any of the maintenance , checks or repairs
described on the following pages if you are not fully familiar with
these or other pro cedures with respect to the vehicle , or are uncer­
tain how to proceed.
• Do not do any work without the proper tools and equipment.
Have the necessary work done by your autho rized Audi dealer or
another properly equipped and qualified workshop .
• The engine compartment of any motor vehicle is a potentially
hazardous area . Never reach into the area around or touch the
radiator fan . It i s temperature controlled and can switch on
suddenly -even when the engine is off and the ignition key has
been removed . The radiator fan switche s on automatically when
the coolant reaches a certain tempe rature and will continue to run
until the coolant temperature drops .
• Always remove the ignition key before anyone gets under the
vehicle.
• Always support your vehicle with safety stands if it is neces­
sary to work underneath the vehicle. The jack supplied with the
vehicle is not adequate for this purpose and could collapse
causing serious personal injury .
• If you must work underneath the vehicle with the wheels on
the ground, always make sure the vehicle is on level ground , that
the wheels are always securely blocked and that the engine
cannot be started .
• Always make sure the transmission selector lever (automatic
transmission) is in "P" (Park position ) (automatic transmission ) or
Neutral (manual tr ansm ission) and the hand brake is firmly
applied.
• Chang ing t he e ngine sett ings wi ll a dverse ly affect em ission
levels. This is detrimenta l to the environment and increases fuel
co nsu mp tion.
