the door sill until its arm is posit ioned di­
rectly under the lifting point ¢.&_ .
• Align the jack so that its arm ®¢
fig. 167
engages in the designated lifting point in
the door s ill and the movable base ® lies
flat on the ground. The base @ must be
ver­
tical
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 ¢
fig. 166 . Ther e is exactly one loca­
tion for each wheel. The jack must not be
positioned at any othe r location
¢ .& .
An unstable surface under the jack ca n cause
the vehicle to slip off the jack. Always provide .,._

~ Use the hexagonal socket in the screwdriver
handle to screw in and tighten all wheel
bo lts
slightly .
~ Unscrew the alignment pin and insert and
t ighten the remaining wheel bolt s light ly
like the rest.
~ T urn the jack handle counter-clockw ise to
l ower the vehicle unti l the jack is fully re­
leased .
~ Use the whee l bolt w rench to t ighten al l
whee l bolts firmly <=>
page 222 . Tighten
them
crosswise, from one bolt to the (ap ­
proximate ly) opposite one, to keep the
whee l cente red.
Q;) Note
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.
(D} Tips
Never use the hexagonal socket in the han­
dle of the screwdriver to loosen or t ighten
the wheel bolts .
- Pull the reversib le b lade from the screw­
driver before yo u use the hexagonal
socket in the handle to t urn the whee l
bo lts .
- When mounting tires with
unid irectional
tread design
make su re the tread pat­
te rn is poi nted the r ight way
<=> page 226.
- The wheel bolts should be clea n and easy
to tu rn . Check for d irt and corrosion on
the mat ing s urfaces of both the wheel
and the hub. Rem ove a ll dirt from these
su rfaces before rem ounting the wheel.
Notes on wheel change
Please read the information <=> page 205 , 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 ve hicle.
Afte r you change a tire :
What do I do now? 225
-Check the tire pre ssure on the spare imme­
diately after mounting.
- Have the whe el bolt tightening torque
checked with a torque wrench as soon a s
possible by your authorized Audi dealer or
a qualified service station.
- With steel and alloy wheel rim s, the wheel
bolt s are cor rectly tightened at a torque of
90 ft lb (120 Nm ).
- If you noti ce while changing a tire that the
wheel bolts are corroded and difficult to
turn , then they should be replaced before
you check the tightening to rque.
- Replace the flat tire w ith a new one and
have it installed on your vehicle as soon as
possible. Remount the whee l co ver.
Until then , dr ive with extra care and at re­
duced speeds.

Bulbs
Replacing light bulbs
For your safety, we recommend that you have
your authorized Audi dealer replace burned
out bulbs for you .
It is becoming increasingly more and more
difficult to replace vehicle light bulbs since in
many cases, other parts of the car must first
be removed before you are able to get to the
bulb . This applies especially to the light bulbs
in the front of your car which you can only
reach through the engine compartment.
Sheet metal and bulb holders can have sharp
edges that can cause ser ious cuts, and parts
must be correctly taken apart and then prop­
e rly put back together to help prevent break­
age of parts and long term damage from wa­
ter that can enter housings that have not been
properly resealed.
For your safety, we recommend that you have
your authorized Audi dealer replace any bulbs
for you, since your dealer has the proper tools,
the correct bulbs and the expertise.
Gas discha rge lamps (Xenon lights}*:
Due to the high electrical voltage, have the
bulbs replaced by a qualified technician.
H eadlights with Xenon light can be identified
by the high voltage sticker.
A WARNING
Contact with high-voltage components of
the electrical system and improper re­
placement of gas discharge (Xenon) head­
light bulbs can cause serious personal in­
jury and death.
- Xenon bulbs are pressurized and can ex­
plode when being changed. -
Changing Xenon lamps requires the spe­
cial tra ining, instructions and equip­
ment.
- Only an authorized Audi dealer or other
qualified workshop should change the
bulbs in gas discharge lamps.
A WARNING
=
There are parts with sharp edges on the
openings and on the bulb holders that can
cause ser ious cuts.
- If you are uncertain about what to do,
have the work performed by an author­
ized Audi dealer or other qualified work­
shop. Serious personal injury may result
from improperly performed work.
@ Tips
- If you must replace the light bulbs your­
self, a lways remember that the engine
compartment of any vehicle is a hazard­
ous area to work in. A lways read and
heed all WARNINGS
c:::> page 172, Engine
compartment
c::> &. .
-It is best to ask your authorized Audi
dealer whenever yo u need to change a
bulb .

232 Emergency situations
@ Tips
The discharged battery must be properly
connected to the vehicle's electrical sys­
tem.
Use of jumper cables
Make sure to connect the jumper coble
clomps in exactly the order described below!
Fig. 174 Engine compart ment: Co nnectors for jumper
cables and charger
Fig. 175 Jump starting with the battery of another ve­
hicle: @discharged veh icle battery, ® booste r battery
The procedure described below for connecting
jumper cables is intended to provide a jump
start for your veh icle.
Preparatory measures
1. Do not jump start a froze n battery! Re­
place such a battery!
2 . Otherwise apply the hand brake and put
the selector lever into P position.
3. For both vehicles switch off all consumers
and the ign ition.
Connecting/disconnecting the jumper
cable .
4. Connect one end of the red jumper cable
on the
jump start bolt (D 9 fig. 175
(Bolts under red cover = "positive") of the
vehicle to be started @.
5. Connect the other end of the red jumper
cable to the positive terminal @of the
booster battery @.
6. Connect one end of the black jumper ca­
ble to the negat ive terminal @of the
booster battery @.
7. Connect the other end of the black jumper
cable to the negative terminal (bolt head)
@ in the external start ing point @ of
your vehicle.
8. Route the jumper cables so that they can­
not catch in any rotat ing parts in the en­
gine compartment.
Starting the engine
9. Start the engine of the vehicle providing
assistance and allow it to run at id le .
10. Now start the engine of the vehicle with
the discharged battery, wait for two to
three minutes until the engine "runs"
smoothly.
11. If the eng ine does not start: Stop try ing
after 10 seconds and then try again after
about 30 seconds.
12. In the vehicle that has received start as­
sistance, turn on the heater blower and
the rear window heating to elim inate any
vo ltage peaks when disconnecting . Driv­
ing lights must be switched off!
13 . Disconnect the cable while the engine is
running exactly in
reverse order to that
described inc:>
page 232, Connecting/dis­
connecting the jumper coble ..
When do­
ing so, make sure that the cable cannot
contact rotating eng ine parts.
14. Close the cover on the posi tive terminal.
The battery is vented to the outside to prevent
gases from entering the vehicle inter ior. Make
sure that the jumper clamps are well connect­
ed with their
metal parts in full contact with
the battery terminals.
A WARNING ~
To avoid serious personal injury and dam-
age to the vehicle, heed all warnings and

instructions of the jumper cable
manufacturer. If in doubt, call for road
service.
- Jumper cables must be long enough so
that the vehicles do not touch.
- When connecting jumper cables, make
sure that they cannot get caught in any
moving parts in the engine compart­
ment.
- Before you check anything in the engine
compartment, always read and heed all
WARNINGS
<=> page 172, Engine com­
partment .
@ Note
Improper hook-up of jumper cables can ru­
in the generator.
-Always connect POSITIVE(+) to POSI­
TIVE(+), and NEGATIVE(-) to NEGATIVE
( - ) ground post of the battery manager
control unit.
- Check that all screw plugs on the battery
cells are screwed in firmly . If not, tighten
plugs prior to connecting clamp on nega­
tive battery terminal.
- Please note that the procedure for con­
necting a jumper cable as described
above applies spec ifically to the case of
your vehicle being jump started. When
you are giving a jump start to another ve­
hicle, do
not connect the negative( -) ca­
ble to the negative(- ) terminal on the
discharged battery@. Instead, securely
connect the negative (-) cable to either a
solid metal component that is firmly bolted to the engine block or to the en­
gine block itself. If the battery that is be­
in g charged does not vent to the outside,
escaping battery gas could ignite and ex­
plode!
