2014 AUDI A5 COUPE Owners Manual

@ Tips
-Never use the hexagonal socket in the
handle of the screwdriver to loosen or
tighten the wheel bolts.
- If a whee l bolt is very tight, you may find
it easier to loosen by carefully pushing
down on the end of the wheel bolt
wrench w ith
one foot only. As you do so,
hold on to the car to keep your ba lance
and take ca re not to slip.
Raising the vehicle
The vehicle must be li~ed with the jack first
before the wheel can be removed .

"' Continue raising the jack w ith the rod unt il
the wheel lifts off the ground slightly.
Position the veh icle jack
only under the desig­
nated lifting points on the sill ¢
fig. 179 .
There is exactly one locat ion for each wheel.
The jack must not be positioned at any other location c> &, c>(D.
Soft ground under the jack can cause the ve­
hicle to slip off the jack. Always place the jack
on f irm ground. Use a f lat, stab le support if
necessary . Use a non-slip surface such as a
rubber mat on a
s lipp ery surface such as tile .
A WARNING
-You or your passengers co uld be in ju red
while changing a wheel if you do no t fo l­
low these safety p re ca utions:
- Position t he veh icle jack on ly at the
designated lifting poi nts and align the
jack. Otherw ise, the vehicle jack could
slip a nd cause an injury if it does not
have sufficie nt hold o n the vehicle.
- A soft or unstable surface under the
jac k may cause the ve hicle to slip off
the jack . A lways prov ide a fi rm base for
the jack o n the ground. If necessa ry,
u se a st ur dy boa rd under the jack .
- On hard, sl ippery su rface (such as t iles)
u se a rubber mat or simi lar to prevent
the j ack from slipping.
- T o help preve nt injury to yo urself and
your pas sengers:

248 What do I do now?
-Do not raise the vehicle unti l you are
sure the jack is securely engaged.
- Passengers must not remain in the ve­
hicle when it is jacked up.
- Make sure that passengers wait in a
safe p lace away from the vehicle and
well away from the road and traffic.
- Make sure jack position is correct, ad­
just as necessary and then continue to ra ise the jack.
CD Note
Do not lift the vehicle by the sill. Position
the vehicle jack only at the designated lift­
ing points on the sill. Otherwise, your vehi­
cle will be damaged.

After you have loosened a ll wheel bolts and
ra ised the veh icle off the ground, remove and
replace the wheel as follows:
Removing the wheel
"' Remove the topmost wheel bolt comp letely
with the
hexagonal socket in the screwdriv­
er handle (vehicle tool kit)¢
fig. 181 and
set it aside on a
clean surface.
"' Screw the threaded end of the
alignment
pin
from the tool kit hand-tight into the
empty bolt hole¢
fig. 182.
"' Then remove the other wheel bolts as de­
scribed above.
"' Take off the whee l leaving the alignment pin
in the bolt hole ¢(D .
Putting on the spare tire
"' Push the spare tire over the alignment p in.
"' Screw on the wheel bolts and tighten them
slightly using the hexagonal socket .
"' Remove the alignment pin and insert and
tighten the remain ing wheel bolt slightly
like the rest.
"' Turn the jack handle counter-clockwise to
lower the veh icle until the jack is fully re­
leased.
"' Use the wheel bo lt wrench to tighten all
wheel bolts firmly¢
page 246 . Tighten
them
in a crisscross pattern, from one bolt
to the (approximately) opposite one, to keep
the wheel centered.
"' Perform the steps required after changing
the wheel
c::> page 245, After changing a
wheel.
T he hexagonal socket ma kes it easier to re­
move the wheel bolts from the rim. Care
sho uld be taken when removing the reversible
blade .
CD Note
When removing or installing the wheel,
the rim could hit the brake rotor and dam­
age the rotor. Work carefu lly and have a
second person to help you.
(D Tips
-When mount ing tires with unidirectional
tread design
make sure the tread pat ­
tern is po inted the right way
c::> page 249. Iii>

-The wheel bol ts should be clean and easy
to tu rn. Check for d irt and corrosion on
t h e mat ing s urfaces of both the whee l
and t he hu b. Remove a ll dirt from these
su rfaces before remo unt ing t he wheel.
- Do n ot use the hexagonal socket in the
screwdriver ha ndle to loosen or tig hten
t h e wheel bo lts .
Tires with unidirectional tread design
Tires with unidirectional tread design must be
mounted with their tread pattern pointed in the right direction.
Using a spare tire with a tread pattern
intended for use in a specific direction
When using a spare tire w ith a t read patte rn
i ntended for use in a specific direction, please
n ot e th e follow ing:
- The direction of rotation is ma rked by an
ar­
row on the s ide of the t ire .
-If the spare t i re has to be installed in the in­
correct di rection, use the spare tire only
temporar ily since the t ire will not be able to
achieve its optimum perfo rma nce character­
ist ics with r ega rd to aquaplani ng, noise and
wea r.
- We recommend that you pay particular at ­
tent io n t o this fact du ring wet weathe r and
t h at you adjus t your spee d to matc h road
cond itio ns.
- Replace th e flat tire w ith a n ew one and
have it ins talled o n your ve hicle as soon as
poss ible to re st ore the hand ling advant ages
of a uni direct io na l t ire .
Notes on wheel changing
Please rea d the information ¢ page 233, 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 :
-Check the tire pressure on the spare imme­
diately after installation . What do I do now? 249
- Have the wheel bolt tightening torque
checked with a torque wrench as soon a s
possible by your authorized Audi dealer or
qualified workshop.
- With steel and alloy wheel rims , the wheel
bolts are cor rectly tightened at a torque of
90 ft lbs. (120 Nm ).
- If you notice that the wheel bolts are cor·
roded 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 veh icle as soon as
possible. Remount the wheel cover.
Until then , drive with extra care and at re·
duced speeds.
A WARNING
-
- If you are going to equ ip your ve hicle

Bulbs
Replacing bulbs
For your safety, we recommend that you hove
your authorized Audi dealer replace any 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 serious cuts, parts must
be correct ly take n apa rt and then p roperly put
bac k together to he lp p revent breakage of
parts and long te rm damage from water that
can enter housings that have not been p roper­
ly re sea led .
Fo r you r safety, we re commend that you have
your autho rized Audi de aler replace any b ulbs
f or you, since your dealer has the proper too ls,
the correct bulbs and the expertise.
Gas disc har ge la mp s (Xenon l ig hts)*:
Due to the high electr ical voltage, have the
bulbs replaced by a qualified techn ic ian .
Head lights w ith Xenon light are identified by
the h igh vol tage sticker.
_&. WARNING
Changing Xenon lamps without the neces­
sary equipment can cause serious persona l
injury .
- Bulbs are pressurized and can explode
when being changed. Potential risk of in­
jury!
-
•
•

254 Fuse s a nd bul bs
-On vehicles equipped with gas discharge
bulbs (Xenon light)* life-threatening in­
juries can result from improper handling of the high-voltage portions of such
lamps!
- Only your authorized Audi dealer or
qualified workshop should change the
bulbs in gas d ischarge lamps. There are
parts with sharp edges on the openings
and on the bulb holders tha t can cause
serious cuts. If you are uncertain about
what to do, have the work performed by an authorized Audi dealer or qualified
workshop. Serious personal injury may result from improperly performed work.
(D Tips
- If you still p refer to replace the light
bulbs yourself, be aware that the engine
compartment is a hazardous area to
work inc:>
page 206 c:> A.
-It is best to ask your authorized Audi
dealer whenever you want to change a
bulb.
