for the cigarette lighter.
~ Switc h on the igni tion.
~ Move the switch @¢ fig. 156 on the e lec­
tric a ir pump
ll to posi tion I. After 5 mi­
nutes, tire pressure must have reached at
least 1.8 bar.
~ Switch the electric a ir pump off - switch in
position
0 . If the requ ired tire pressure of at
least 1.8 bar has not been reached, it is not
poss ible to make a repa ir with the tire seal ­
ant. Seek professional ass istance.
Disassembling Tire Mobility System
~ Remove the hose from the valve and pu ll
the plug out of the socket.

compartment for the time being.
~ Start driving right away so that the sealant
is distributed in the tire.
A WARNING
-Follow the manufacturer's safety instruc­
t ions on the deca l for the air pump and
the sealant bott le.
- If a t ire pressure of 1.8 bar cannot be
achieved after pump ing for 5 m inutes,
the tire is too severely damaged. Do not
continue to drive .
- Seek profess ional assistance if it is not
poss ible to repair the tire with the tire
sealant.
l ) The e lectr ic air pump s hould never r un for longer than
6 min utes.

(D Tips
-Do not operate the electric air pump for
more than 6 minutes witho ut stopping,
otherwise it can overheat. When the a ir
pump has coo led down, you can continue
to use it.
- If sealant has escaped, allow it to dry,
then you can peel 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 d riving for about 10 m inutes, stop
and check the tire pressure.
~ If tire pressure is still at leas t 1.3 bar, in­
flate the tire to specified pressure (see driv­
ers side B -pillar), drive to the next repair
shop and have the tire and the sealant bot­
tle replaced.
~ If tire pressure is less than 1.3 bar, the t ire
is too severely damaged. Do not cont inue to
drive . Seek professional assistance.
A WARNING
If t ire pressure is less than 1.3 bar after
driving for 10 minutes, the tire is too se­
ve rely damaged. Do not continue to drive.
Seek professional ass istance .
(D Tips
After a tire repair, have the sealant bottle
replaced at a dealership. This restores full
funct iona lity to the Tire Mobility System.

224 What do I do now?
What should I be
aware of when
changing a tire?
General information
The following sections will provide you with
important information on how to change a
tire using the vehicle tool kit.
However, we recommend that you have a
qualified service center change the tire and
perform all work associated with changing it .
Wheels with cap-covered wheel bolts
Applies to vehicles: with cap-covered whee l bolts
The caps must be removed first from the
wheel bolts before the bolts can be un­
screwed .
Fig. 157 Wheel change: removing the wheel bolt caps
Removing
• Push the plastic clip provided with the on­
board tool kit down over the wheel bolt cap
u ntil it engages.
• Pull on the properly engaged
plastic clip to
extract the cap¢
fig. 157 .
Refitting
• Place the caps over the wheel bolts and
push them back in.
The caps are there to protect and keep the
wheel bolts clean.
Decorative wheel covers
Applies to vehicles: with decorative wheel covers
The decorative wheel covers must be removed
first to access the wheel bolts .
Fig. 158 Wheel change: removing the wheel cover
Removing
• Insert the hook prov ided with the on board
tool kit into the hole on the center hub
piece.
• Pull off the
decorative wheel cover
¢fig. 158.
Loosening and tightening the wheel
bolts
The wheel bolts must be loosened before rais­
ing the vehicle.
Fig. 159 Wheel change: loosening the wheel bolts
Loosening
• 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 the wheel bolts
counter-clockwise
about one single turn in the direction of ar -
row
r:!> fig. 159. .,..

Tightening
• Fit the wh eel b olt wren ch over t he wheel
bolt and push it down as far as it will go .
• Close your gr ip aro und the
end of the
wrench handle for maximum torque and
turn each whee l bolt
cl ock wise until it sits
tight.
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 pe r­
sonal inj uries.
- Do not loosen the wheel bolts more than
one turn
before you ra ise the veh icle with
the jack. -Risk of inj ury!
@ Tips
- Never t ry and use the hexagonal socket
i n the handle of the screwdriver to loos­
en o r tighten the wheel bolts .
- If a wheel bolt sits very t ight, you may
find it easie r to loosen by carefully push­
i ng down on the end of the whee l bolt
wre nch w ith
one foot only. As you do,
ho ld on to the ca r to keep yourse lf stable
and ta ke care not to slip .
Raising the vehicle
The vehicle must be li~ed with the jack first
before the wheel can be removed .

An un stab le su rfa ce under the jack can cause
the veh icle to slip off the jack . Always provide
a firm base for the jack on the ground . If nec­
essary place a sturdy board or similar support
under the jack . On
hard , slipper y surf aces
(such as tiles) use a rubbe r mat or similar to
prevent the jack from slipping

A WARNING
-You or your passengers co uld be in ju red
while changing a wheel if you do no t fo l­
low safety precautions :

226 What do I do now ?
-Position the vehicle jack only at the
designated lifting points and align the
jack. Otherwise, the vehicle jack could slip and cause an injury if it does not
have sufficient ho ld on the vehicle.
- A soft or unstab le surface under the
jack may cause the vehicle to slip off the jack. Always prov ide a firm base for
the jack on the ground.
If necessary,
use a sturdy board un der the ja ck .
- On hard, slippery surfac e (such as tiles)
use a rubber mat o r similar to prevent
the j ack fr om s lipp ing.

Notes on wheel change
Pl ease rea d the information ¢ page 207, New
tires and replacing tires and wheels,
i f 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:
- Check the tire pressure on the spare imme ­
diately after mounting .
- Have the wheel bolt tightening torque
che cked with a torque wrench as soon as
possible by your authorized Audi dealer or
a qualified service station.
- With steel and alloy wheel rims, the wheel
bolts are correctly tightened at a torque of
90 ft lb (120 Nm) .
- If you notice while changing a tire that the
wheel bolt s are co rroded and diffi cult to
turn , then they should be replaced before
you check the t ightening torque.
What do I do now? 227
- 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 , drive with extra care and at re­
duced speeds.
A WARNING
-
- If you are go ing to e quip your ve hicl e
wit h tires o r rims which differ from those
which were factory installed, t hen be
sure to read the information¢
page 207,
New tires and replacing tires and
wheels .
-Always sto re the tools secu rely in lug­
gage compartment. Othe rwise, in a n ac­
cident o r su dd en maneuv er they cou ld fly
forwa rd, causi ng injury to passe ngers in
the vehicle.
Tires with unidirectional tread design
Tires with unidirectional tr ead design must be
mounted with their tread pattern pointed the
right dire ction.
A u nidirectional tire can be identified by ar­
rows on the sidewall,
which point in the direc ­
tion of t he rota tion. Yo u m ust follow the
s p ecifie d direction of rot ation. This i s nece ssa ­
r y in order fo r these tires to develop t heir op­
timum character istics regard ing grip, road
no ise, wear, and hydrop la ning.
