Technical data How to use the compact temporary spare wheel
Should you ever have a punctured tyre, the compact temporary
spare wheel is only intended for temporary use until you can reach
a workshop. The standard-size road wheel should be refitted as
soon as possible.
Please note the following restrictions when using the compact
temporary spare wheel. The compact temporary spare wheel is
designed specifically for this model. For this reason, do not use a
temporary spare from a different type of vehicle.
Snow chains
For technical reasons, snow chains must not be used on the
compact temporary spare wheel.
If you should have a puncture on one of the front wheels when using
snow chains, fit the compact temporary spare in place of one of the
rear wheels. You can then attach the snow chains to the wheel taken
from the rear and use this wheel to replace the punctured front
wheel.
WARNING
•
The tyre pressures must be checked and corrected as soon as
possible. The tyre pressure of the compact temporary spare wheel
must be 4.2 bar – an incorrectly inflated tyre can cause an acci-
dent.
•
Do not drive faster than 80 km/h - higher speeds can cause an
accident.
•
Avoid heavy acceleration, hard braking and fast cornering – risk
of accident.
•
Never use two or more compact spare tyres at the same time –
risk of accident.
•
No other type of tyre (normal summer or winter tyres) may be
fitted on the compact temporary spare wheel.
Ty r e r e p a i r sGeneral information and safety notes
Repaired tyres are only suitable for temporary use.Your vehicle is equipped with a tyre repair kit: the Tyre Mobility
System (TMS).
In the event of a puncture you will find the TMS, which consists of a
sealing compound and a compressor, located under the floor panel
in the luggage compartment.
The TMS will reliably seal tyres damaged by foreign bodies,
provided that the cuts or punctures are no larger than approx. 4 mm
in diameter.
It is not necessary to remove the foreign body from the tyre.
The sealing compound must not be used:•
on cuts and punctures larger than 4 mm ⇒fig. 227
•
if the wheel rim has been damaged
•
if you have been driving with very low pressure or a completely
flat tyre .
How to use the TMS is described in the section Repairing a tyre
⇒page 248 and in the instructions supplied with the tyre sealant
can.

Mobility System is NOT
suitable for repairing
this type of damage to
tyres.

WARNING
After repairing a tyre please note the following points:•
Do not drive faster than 80 km/h.
•
Avoid heavy acceleration, hard braking and fast cornering.
•
Vehicle handling could be impaired.
•
Tyres which have been sealed using the TMS are only suitable
for temporary use. Damaged tyres must be renewed.
•
The TMS must NOT be used,
−on cuts and punctures larger than 4 mm
−if the wheel rim has been damaged
−if you have been driving with very low pressure or a
completely flat tyre
•
Seek professional assistance if the repair of a tyre puncture is
not possible with the sealing compound.
•
Do not allow the sealant to come into contact with your eyes,
skin or clothing.
•
If you do come into contact with the sealant immediately rinse
the eyes or skin affected with clean water.
•
Change clothing immediately if it becomes soiled with the tyre
sealant.
•
Make sure you do not breathe in the fumes!
•
If any of the tyre sealant is accidentally ingested, immediately
rinse the mouth thoroughly and drink lots of water.
•
Do not induce vomiting. Immediately contact a doctor!
•
If any allergic reactions should occur get medical help immedi-
ately.
•
Keep the sealant away from children.
For the sake of the environment
Used bottles of sealing compound can be returned to an Audi dealer
for disposal.
Note
•
If sealant should leak out, leave it to dry. When it has dried, you
can pull it off like a piece of foil.
•
Observe the expiry date stated on the sealing compound can.
Have the sealing compound exchanged by a qualified workshop.
Repairing a tyrePreparations
– If you have a flat tyre, stop the car well away from moving
traffic.
– Apply the parking brake to stop the vehicle moving acci-
dentally.

Technical data
– Ensure that all passengers leave the vehicle and move
away from the danger area ⇒.
– Take the tyre sealant can and the electric compressor out
of the luggage compartment ⇒page 245.
– Fix the sticker “max. 80 km/h”, which is included with the
tyre sealant can, onto the instrument cluster where the
driver will see it.
Filling the tyre
– Shake the tyre sealant can well.
– Screw the enclosed filling hose onto the sealant can as
far as it will go. This will automatically pierce the foil
sealing the can.
– Take the valve cap off the tyre valve and use the enclosed
valve insert tool to unscrew the valve insert ⇒page 248,
fig. 228.
– Place the valve insert onto a clean surface.
– Remove the sealing plug from the filling hose and insert
the hose into the tyre valve.
– Hold the tyre sealant can upside down and fill the
complete contents of the can into the tyre.
– Then disconnect the hose and screw the valve insert
firmly back into the tyre valve.
Inflating the tyre
– Screw the filling hose of the electric compressor onto the
tyre valve and plug the connector into the cigarette
lighter.– Pump the tyre up to 2.0 to 2.5 bar and monitor the pres-
sure shown on the pressure gauge.
– If the tyre pressure remains lower than the value speci-
fied above drive the vehicle approx. 10 metres forwards
or backwards, so that the sealant can spread evenly in
the tyre. If the pressure is still lower than the specifica-
tion the tyre is too badly damaged and cannot be
repaired using the tyre sealant.
Final checks
– After about 10 minutes stop to check the tyre pressure.
– If tyre pressure is less than 1.3 bar, the tyre is too badly
damaged. Do not drive on. You should obtain profes-
sional assistance.
WARNING
•
If you have a puncture in moving traffic, switch on the hazard
warning lights and place the warning triangle in a visible location.
This is for your own safety and also warns other road users.
•
Make sure your passengers wait in a safe place (for instance
behind the roadside crash barrier).
•
Please observe the manufacturers' safety notes on the
compressor and the instructions supplied with the tyre sealant
can.
•
If it was not possible to build up a tyre pressure of 2.0 bar
within 6 minutes this means that the tyre is too badly damaged.
Do not drive on.
•
Seek professional assistance if the repair of a tyre puncture is
not possible with the sealing compound.
•
If tyre pressure is less than 1.3 bar after driving about 10
minutes, the tyre is too badly damaged. Do not drive on. You
should obtain professional assistance.
