2008 AUDI A4 AVANT fuel cap

Tires and wheels 1111
----------------
W For the sake of the environment
Use summer tires when weather conditions permit. They are
quieter, do not wear as quickly and reduce fuel consumption. •
Snow chains
Snow chains may be fitted only to the front wheels, and only to
certain tire sizes. Ask your authorized Audi dealer on which tire
sizes snow chains can be used.
If you are going to use snow chains, then you must install them on
the front wheels at least.
The snow chains must have low-profile links and must not be thicker
than 0.53 inch (13.5 mm), including the lock.
Remove wheel center covers and trim discs before putting snow
chains on your
vehicle => 0. For safety reasons cover caps must
then be fitted over the wheel bolts. These are available from autho­
rized Audi dealers.
& WARNING
Using the wrong snow chains for your vehicle or installing them
incorrectly can increase the risk of loss of control leading to
serious personal injury.
• Snow chains are available in different sizes. Always make sure
to follow the instructions provided by the snow chain manufac­
turer.
• When driving with snow chains never drive faster than the
speed permitted for your specific snow chains.
• Always observe local regulations .
0 Note
• Remove snow chains before driving on roads not covered with
snow to avoid damaging tires and wearing the snow chains down
u n necessarily.
• Snow chains, which come into direct contact with the wheel rim,
can scratch or damage it . Therefore, make sure that the snow chains
are suitably covered.
[ i] Tips
Where snow chains are mandatory on certain roads, this normally
also applies to vehicles with All Wheel Drive. •
Wheel bolts
Wheel bolts must always be tightened to the correct
torque.
The design of wheel bolts is matched to the factory installed rims. If
different rims are fitted, the correct wheel bolts with the right length
and correctly shaped bolt heads must be used. This ensures that
wheels are fitted securely and that the brake system functions
correctly.
In certain circumstances, you may not use wheel bolts from a
different vehicle -even if it is the same
model => page 348.
& WARNING
Improperly tightened or maintained wheel bolts can become loose
causing loss of control, a collision and serious personal injury.
• Always keep the wheel bolts and the threads in the wheel hubs
clean so the wheel bolts can turn easily and be properly tightened .
• Never grease or oil the wheel bolts and the threads in the wheel
hubs. They can become loose while driving if greased or oiled,
even if tightened to the specified torque.
