flat tire AUDI TT ROADSTER 2014 Owner's Manual

Inflate the tire pressure to the proper
pressure as indicated on the vehicle's tire
pressure label¢
page 185. 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 stop­
ping ability.
- The driver is responsible for mainta ining
the correct tire pressures. You must
check the tire pressures regularly.
- Under certain conditions (such as a spor­
ty driving style, wint er conditions or un­
paved roads), the pressure monitor indi­
cator 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 use these tires when not permit ­
ted. Damage to your vehicle or accidents
could also result.
- If you switch between standard and run­
flat tires, an authorized Audi dealer or
qualified workshop must reprogram the
control module .
@ Tips
-The tire pressure monitoring system
stops working when there is an ESC/ABS
malfunction.
- Using snow chains may result in a system
malfunction.
- The tire pressure monitoring system on
your Audi was developed using tires with the "AO" or "RO" identification on the
tire sidewall¢
page 192. We recom­
mend using these tires.

Run-flat tires
Introduction
Applies to vehicl es: wi th Run-fla t tires
Run-flat tires help keep you moving if a tire
goes flat.
Re inforced sidewalls give the ti res run-flat ca­
pability if tire pressure is lost .
We recommend that run-flat tires only be
mounted on vehicles that were originally
equipped with these special t ires at the facto­
ry and have a Tire Pressure Monitoring Sys­
tem.
Run-flat tires can be identified by the letters
"RSC " on the tire sidewall.
If you do change the tires on your veh icle from
normal to run-flat tires., you must buy the
special rims required for run-flat tires, and the
T ire Pressu re M on itor ing System must be re­
programmed by an authorized Audi dealer or
other qualified workshop .
What do run-flat tires do?
These special t ires have run-flat capabilities
that help keep you moving if a tire loses pres­
su re and goes f lat . Under favorab le condit ions
t ir es can be dr iven
at least 30 miles (50 km) ,
but you must not drive faster than 50 mph
(80 km/h)
c::, page 203, Driving with run-flat
tires .
IJI>

When it i s not po ssibl e to co ntinu e
d riv ing, even with run-fl at ti res?
-If the E lectronic Stabilization Control (ESC)
is not working or keeps coming on.
- If the Tire P ressure Monitoring System does
not work .
- If the tire has been severely damaged, in a
crash, for example. The tread can separate
from a damaged tire as the whee l turns, and
hit parts of the vehicle, such as the fuel tank
filler neck, fuel lines or brake lines.
- Do not continue dr iving if severe vibration
occurs or if the tire starts to smoke because
the tire is runn ing hot .
- Do not continue driving if damage to the
tire, such as cracks in the sidewall, appears.
A WARNING
Improper use of run-flat t ires can cause
vehicle damage that can lead to loss of ve­
hicle control, a crash and serious personal
injury.
- Run-flat tires can only be used with spe­
c ial rims.
- Run-flat tires must always be mon itored
with a properly programmed Tire Pre­
ss ure Mon itor ing System.
- Always inspect a tire that has lost air to
make su re it is safe to drive w ith the t ire
in the run-flat mode.
- Never drive with run-flat tires that have
been damaged in a collision.
- Never drive with run-flat tires if heat
build-up causes the t ire to give off
smoke.
- Never drive with run-flat tires if the vehi­
cle shakes or v ibrates severely.
- Never drive with a run-flat tire that de­
velops sidewall cracks or other damage
wh ile in use .
- If you switch between standard and run­
flat tires, an author ized Audi dealer or
qualified wo rkshop must reprogram the
control module.
Tire s an d wheel s 203
@ Note
Run-f lat ti res have special characteristics
and requirements, that are very different
from convent ional tires. Run-flat tires re­
quire special rims for run-flat use and can­
not be used on conventional whee l rims .
(D Tips
- If you are not able to cont inue driving
w ith run-flat tires, please seek professio­
nal ass istance.
- Please contact your authorized Audi
dealer or Aud i of America, Inc . if you
have questions about t ires and rims.
Driving with run-flat tires
Applies to veh icles: w it h Run -flat t ires
Handling characteristics change when tire
pressure is low.
Driving on tires with low tire pressure changes
the way a veh icle handles, particularly when
corner ing and braking. The handling charac­
teristics of run -flat tires do not seem to
change a lot even when driving on low pres­
sure or in the run-flat mode . Nevertheless you
must still take specia l precautions whe n oper ­
at ing a veh icle on run-flat tires when t ire pres­
s u re is low o r the tire(s) is flat:
" The Electronic Stabilization Contro l (E SC)
must be switched on.
" Never drive fas ter than 50 mph (80 km/h)
q .&_ .
"Plan ahead when driving and anticipate
what you will have to do considering traffic
and road conditions up ahead.
" Accelerate carefully.
" Avo id unnecessary and sudden steering and
braking maneuvers.
" Reduce your speed in plenty of t ime before
intersections, curves and other places where
you may have to react quickly .
Please see:
q page 203, When it is not possi­
ble to continue driving, even with run-flat tires?

204 Tires and wheels
Handling characteristics change when
dr iving with low air pressure or with flat
tires even with special run-flat tires
A low pressure or flat front tire affects vehicle
handling characteristics by pulling the vehicle
slightly to the side where the tire is mounted
and reduces braking performance.
A low pressure or flat
rear tire also affects
driving characteristics by pul ling to the side
where the tire is mounted and also reduces
brak ing performance. The effect on vehicle
handling is most not iceable when driving
around curves.
& WARNING
Changed vehicle handling characteristics
when driving in the run -flat mode can
cause loss of vehicle contro l, a c rash and
serious personal in jury.
- Driving on special run-flat tires in the
run-flat mode will change vehicle han­
dling characteristics during braking,
when cornering and under heavy acceler­
ation .
- Never drive faster than the maximum
rated speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) when
dr iv ing in the run-flat mode .
- Always adjust vehicle speed to traffic,
road and weather cond itions and drive
slower than the max imum rated speed if
necessary weather and road conditions
are taken into account.
- Always obey speed limits and other traf­
fic laws.
(D Note
We a lways recommend driving w ith even
more care when using these specia l tires in
the run-flat mode. Always avo id sudden
maneuvers.
Replacing run-flat tires and rims
Applies to veh icles: w it h Run -flat tires
Your vehicle was especially designed to use
special run-flat tires .
You may use and combine only approved run­
flat tires and special matching rims that have
been designed for run -flat tires . Mounting
special run-flat tires on standard whee ls will
not work and will not provide the advantages
fo the run-falt feature. Never use special run­
flat tires on standa rd whee l rims.
After dr iving w ith a t ire in the run-flat mode,
always have the veh icle and affected tire(s)
and rim(s) inspected by an author ized Audi
dealer. Tires that have been dr iven in the run­
flat mode must be rep laced .
& WARNING
=
Use of damaged run-flat tires and rims can
cause vehicle damage that can lead to loss
of vehicle control, a crash and serious per­
sonal injury.
- Always have the vehicle and affected
tire(s) and r im(s) inspected by an author­
ized Audi dealer after driving a tire in the
run-flat mode.
- Tir es that have been dr iven in the run­
flat mode must be replaced.

@ For the sake of the environment
Used sealant bottles can be dropped off at
a recycling facility .
@ Tips
-If sealant has run out, allow it to dry.
Then you can peel it off.
- Have the tire sealant replaced every 4
years at a dealership .

then you can pee l it off.
Final check
App lies to vehicles: wit h Tire Mobility System
After driving for a short distance, tire
pressure must be checked
• After driving for about 10 minutes, stop and
check the tire pressure .
• If tire pressure is still at least 1.3 bar, in­
flate the tire to specified pressure (see driv­
ers side B-pillar), drive to the next repa ir
shop and have the tire and the sealant bot­
tle replaced.
• If tire pressure is less than 1.3 bar, the tire
is too severely damaged. Do not continue to
drive . Seek professional assistance. .,.

210 What do I do now?
• Close your grip around the end of the
wrench handle for maximum torque and
turn the wheel bolts
counter-clockwise
about one single turn in the direction of ar­
row

Tightening
• Fit the wheel bolt wrench over the wheel
bolt and push it down as far as it will go .
• Close your grip around the
end of the
wrench handle for maximum torque and
turn each wheel bolt
clockwise until it sits
t ight.
A WARNING
- Us ing force without control to speed the
wheel change up can cause the veh icle to
slip off the jack and cause serious per­
sonal inju ries.
-Do not loosen the wheel bolts more than
one turn
before you raise the vehicle with
the jack. -Risk of injury!
- Never t ry and use the hexagonal socket
in the handle of the screwdriver to loos­
en or tighten the wheel bolts.
- If a wheel bolt sits very t ight, you may
find i t eas ier to loosen by carefully push­
i ng down on the end of the whee l bolt
wrench with
one foot only. As yo u do,
hold on to the car to keep yourself stable

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 212.
- 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 th e whee l
and the h ub. Remove a ll dirt from these
su rfaces before remo unti ng the wheel.
Notes on wheel change
Pl ease read the informa tion ~ page 192, New
tires and replacing tires and wheels,
if you are
going to use a spare t ire which is different
from the tires on your vehicle.
After you change a tire :
-Check the tire pressure on the spare imme­
diately after mounting .
- Have the wheel bolt tightening torque
che ck e d with a torqu e wrench a s soon as
possible b y your auth orized Audi dealer or
a qualified ser vice station .
- With steel and alloy wheel rims , the wheel
bolts are correctly tightened at a torque of
90 ft lb (1 20 Nm ).
- If y ou notice while changing a tire that the
wheel bolts are co rroded and difficult to
turn , then the y should be repl aced befo re
you check the t ightening torque . -
Repla ce the flat ti re with a new one and
have it installed on your veh icle a s soon as
possible. Remount the wheel cove r.
Until then , dr ive with extra care and at re­
duced speed s.
_& WARNING
