proper positioning of
jack
-Activate the vehicle jack mode* (only vehicles with Adap­
tive Air Suspension) =>
page 180.
- Engage the parking brake to prevent your vehicle from
rolling unintentionally
- Move the
selector lever to position P.
- Position the jack below the door sill under the mounting
point
that is closest to the wheel to be changed
=>
page 342 , fig. 254.
- Extend the
jack under the lifting point on the door sill until
its arm is positioned directly under the lifting point=>&.
- Align the jack so that its arm©=>
page 343, fig. 255
engages in the designated lifting point in the door sill and
the movable base® lies flat on the ground. The base ®
must be
vertical under the lifting point@.
- Wind the jack up further until the flat tire comes off the
ground =>& .
The jack must be installed only at the places indicated=> page 342,
fig. 254. There is exactly one location for each wheel. The jack must
not be positioned at any other location=>& .
Vehicle OP-eration
An unstable surface under the jack can cause the vehicle to slip off
the jack . Always provide a firm base for the jack on the ground. If
necessary place a sturdy board or similar support under the jack . On
hard, slippery surfaces (such as tiles) use a rubber mat or similar to
prevent the jack from slipping=>&.
& WARNING
• You or your passengers could be injured while changing a
wheel if you do not follow these safety precautions:
-Positioning the jack under the vehicle at any other place than
those indicated above may damage the vehicle or may result in personal injuries.
- A soft or unstable surface under the jack may cause the
vehicle to slip off the jack. Always provide a firm base for the
jack on the ground. If necessary, use a sturdy board under the
jack.
- On hard, slippery surface (such as tiles) use a rubber mat or
similar to prevent the jack from slipping.
• To help prevent injury to yourself and your passengers:
-Do not raise the vehicle until you are sure the jack is securely
engaged.
- Passengers must not remain in the vehicle when it is jacked
up.
- Make sure that passengers wait in a safe place away from the
vehicle and well away from the road and traffic.
- Make sure jack position is correct, adjust as necessary and
then continue to raise the jack. •

alignment p in from the
tool kit hand-tight into t he empty bolt ho le~
page 344,
fig . 256.
-Then r emove the other whee l bol ts as describe d above .
- Take off the wheel leaving the a lignm ent pin in the bo lt
hole .
Putting on the inflatable spare tire
-Inflate the inflatable spare tire~ page 339 and push the
wheel over t he alignment pin. -
Screw in and tighten all wheel bolts
slightly .
- Remove the alignment pin and insert and t ighten the
remaining w hee l bolt slightly like the rest .
- Turn the jack handle counter -c lockwise to lower the

the (approx imately) opposite one, to keep the wheel
cente red .
[I] Tips
• When mounting tires with unid irectional tr ead design make sure
the tread pattern is po inted the r ight way ~
page 344.
• The wheel bolts should be clean and easy to turn. Check for dirt
and corrosion on the mating surfaces of both the whee l and the h ub.
Remove all dirt from these surfaces before remounting the w heel. •
Tires with unidirectional tread design
Tires with unidirectional tread design must be mounted
with their tread pattern pointed in the righ t direction .
Using a spare tire w ith a t read pattern intended for
u se in a specific direction
When usi ng a spare tire w ith a t read pa ttern intended fo r use in a
specific direction, please note the following:
• T he di rec tion of rotation is ma rked 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 io n, use
the spare tire only temporar ily since the tire will not be ab le to
a chieve its optim um pe rfo rma nce characteristics with rega rd to
aquaplaning, no ise and wear. _,.

Notes on wheel changing
P le ase re ad the in form ation=> page 326 , "N ew tires and r eplacing
t ires and wheels" if yo u are going to use a spa re t ire wh ich is different
fr om the tires on yo ur vehi cle.
After you change a t ire:
• Check the tire pressure on the spare immediately after installa­
tion.
• Have the wheel bolt tightening torque checked with a torque
wren ch as soon as po ssible by yo u r autho rize d Audi deale r or a qual­
ified workshop.
• With steel and alloy wheel rims, the wheel bolts are correctly
tightened at a torque of 120 ft lb (160 Nm).
• If you notice that the wheel bolts are corroded and difficult to
turn while changing a tire, 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, dr ive with e xtra care and at reduced speeds.

& WARNING
Never replace a fuse with one that has a higher amperage rating.
• A fuse with a too high amperage could damage the electr ical
part and cau se a fire.
(D Note
• O n no account s houl d fuses be repaired (e .g. patched up with tin
foil o r wire) as th is may cause se rious damage elsewhe re in t he elec­

Bulbs
Replacing Light bulbs
For your safety, we recomm end that you have your autho ­
rized Audi dealer replace burned out bulbs for you.
It is be coming increasing ly mo re and more d ifficult to rep lace vehicle
light bulbs since in many cases, other parts of the car must first be
removed before yo u are a ble to get to the bu lb. This appl ies especially
•
to the light bulbs in the front of yo ur car which yo u can only reach
t hroug h the eng ine compa rtment.
Sheet metal and bu lb holders can have sharp edges that can cause
ser ious cuts, and parts must be correct ly taken apart and the n prop­
erly pu t back togethe r to he lp preven t breakage of parts and lo ng
term damage from water that can enter housings that have not been
properly rese aled.
For your safety, we recommend that you have your aut horized Audi
dea ler replace any bu lbs for you, si nce your dea ler has the proper
tools, the cor rect bulbs and the expert ise .
Gas discharge lamps (Xenon lights)*:
Due to the high electrica l volt age, h ave the bulbs replaced by a qu al­
ified technician. Headlights with Xenon light can be ident ified by the
hig h voltage sticker .
& WARNING
Contact with high-voltage components of the ele ctrical system
and improper replacement of gas discharge (Xenon) headlight
bulbs can cause serious pers onal injury and death .
• Xenon bulbs are pressurized and can explode when being
changed.
• Changing Xenon lamps requ ires the special tr aining, instruc­
tions and equipment.
• Only an authorized Audi dealer or other qualified workshop
should change the bulbs in gas discharge lamps .
& WARNING
There are parts with sharp edges on the openings and on the bulb
holder s that can cause serious cut s.
• If you are uncertain about what to do , ha ve the work
performed by an authorized Audi dealer or other qualified work -
