2014 AUDI RS7 SPORTBACK tire pressure

252 What do I do now?
(D Note
Do not use commerc ia lly available tire
sealants . The electrical components of the
tire pressure mon itoring system will no
longer work properly.
@ For the sake of the environment
Used sealant bottles can be dropped off at
a recycl ing facility.
@ Tips
- If sealant has run out, allow it to dry.
Then you can peel it off.
- Have the tire sealant replaced every 4
years at a dea lership.
Preliminary steps
Some preliminary steps ore necessary for tire
repair.
.,. If you have a fla t t ire, park the veh icle as far
as possible from moving traffic.
.,. Apply the
parking brake firmly .
.,. Move the
selector lever to the P position .
.,. Check whether a repair using the Tire Mobili­
ty System is possible Q page 251, General
and safety pointers .
.,. Have all passengers leave the vehicle and
stay away from the danger zone
q ,& .
.,. Take the s ealant bottle and the electric air
pump
from the luggage compartment un­
der the floor.
.,. Remove the "max . SO mph" (80 km/h) stick­
er from the sealant bottle and aff ix it to the
instrument cluster in the driver's view .
A WARNING
-Turn the hazard flashers on and set up
the warning triangle* if you have a flat
tire in moving traffic. In this way you pro­
tect you rs elf and other road users .

~ S tart driving rig ht away so tha t the sealant
is dist ributed in the tire .
A WARNING
- Follow the manufacturer 's sa fety instruc­
tions on the decal for the air p ump and
the sealant bottle.
- If a tire pressure of 1.8 bar cannot be
achieved after pumping for S minutes,
the t ire is too severe ly damaged . Do not
con tinu e to dr ive .
- Seek pro fessional assistance if it is not
possible to repa ir the tire w ith the t ire
sealant.
(D Tips
- Do not operate the electric air pump for
more than 6 minutes witho ut stopping,

t hen yo u can peel it off .
Final check
After driving for a short distance, tire pressure must be checked
~ A ft er driving for about 10 mi nutes, stop and
check the tire pressure.
~ If tire pressure is st ill at least 1.3 bar, in­
flate the tire to specif ied p ress ure (see dr iv­
er's side B-pillar), drive to the next repa ir
sh op and have t he tire and the sealant bot­
tle replaced .

Tires with unidirectional tread design
Tires with unidirectional tread design must be
mounted with their tread pattern pointed in the right direction .
Using a replacement tire with a tre ad
patte rn intend ed for us e in a specific
directi on
When us ing a replacement t ire with a tread
pattern intended for use in a specific direc­
tion, please note the fo llowing :
- T he direction of rotation is marked by an ar­
row on the side of the tire .
-If the replacement tire has to be installed in
t h e incorrect d irection, use the rep lacement
t ire only temporarily since the t ire will not
be able to achieve i ts optimum performance
characteristics with regard to aquap laning,
noise and wear .
- We recommend that you pay particular at­
tention to this fact during wet weather and
that you adjust your speed to match road conditions .
- Replace the flat tire with a new one and
have it installed on you r veh icle as soon as
poss ible to restore the handling advantages
of a unid irect ional tire.
