.... Wheels
and tyres
Wheels General notes
... Inspect the tyres regularly for damage (cuts,
cracks or blisters, etc.). Remove any foreign
bodies embedded in the treads.
... If you have to drive over a kerb or similar obsta­
cle, drive very slowly and as near as possible at
a right angle to the kerb.
... Damaged rims or tyres must be replaced imme­
diately.
... Keep grease, oil and fuel off the tyres.
... Mark
the wheels before taking them off so that
they rotate in the same direction when refitted.
... When removed, the wheels should be stored
flat in a cool, dry and preferably dark place.
CD CAUTION
- Please note that summer and winter tyres
are optimised for the prevailing road condi­
tions at different times of year. We recom­
mend that you use winter tyres during the
winter months. At low temperatures, sum­
mer tyres lose their elasticity and grip, and
braking performance also suffers as a re­
sult. Cracks can form in the tread block on
summer tyres if they are used at very cold
temperatures, and this can cause perma­
nent damage to the tyres. An increase in
rolling noise and tyre imbalance may result
from this damage.
- Machined, polished or chrome-plated rims
must not be used in winter conditions. The
process used to manufacture these types of
wheel rim does not provide adequate sur­
face protection against corrosion, and the
rims can be permanently damaged by road
salt or similar.
New wheels or tyres
It is best to have all servicing of wheels and tyres
performed by a qualified workshop, since they
have the necessary special tools and replacement
parts and trained personnel. Wheels
and tyres
... New tyres do not yet give maximum grip. When
driving with new tyres, drive at moderate
speeds and be especially careful during the first
500 km.
... All four wheels must be fitted with tyres of the
same type, size (rolling circumference) and
preferably the same tread pattern.
... Tyres should be replaced in pairs and not indi­
vidually (i.e. both front tyres or both rear tyres
together).
... We recommend the use of Audi Genuine Tyres.
If you wish to use other tyres, please note that
the actual size can differ from the nominal size
marked on the tyre ¢.&_
.
... If you wish to purchase a different combination
of rims and tyres than the ones fitted on the ve­
hicle during production, it is advisable to con­
sult a qualified workshop beforehand ¢.&_
.
On vehicles with four-wheel drive, all four wheels
must always be fitted with tyres of the same
type, make and tread pattern, as otherwise the
driveline can be damaged by variations in the
wheel speeds. For the same reason, only use a
spare wheel* which has the same rolling circum­
ference as the normal road wheels.
If the spare wheel* is not the same type as the
tyres fitted on the car (for example if the car has
winter tyres or wide-section tyres) you should on­
ly use the spare wheel* if a puncture occurs, and
then only for a short period of time. In this case,
please drive with extra care. Refit a normal road
wheel as soon as possible.
Manufacturing date
The manufacturing date is indicated on the tyre
sidewall (possibly only on the inner side of the
wheel):
DOT ... 2214 ...
means, for example, that the tyre was produced
in the 22nd week of 2014.
Audi Genuine Tyres
Audi Genuine Tyres with the marking "AO" or
"RO" are specially matched to your Audi. When
used properly, these tyres meet the highest
standards in safety and handling. Your specialist
retailer will be glad to provide more information . ..,..

WARNING
Insufficient tread depth or different tread
depths on different wheels reduce safety. This
is particularly evident in vehicle handling,
when there is a risk of aquaplaning in deep
puddles of water and when driving through
corners. Braking is also adversely affected -
risk of accident!
Tyre pressure

If you intend to drive the vehicle with a partial
load, adjust the tyre pressures to the specified
setting (D. Should you wish to drive with a full
load, you must increase the tyre pressure to the
specified maximum @
¢.&,.
.
Checking / adjusting the tyre pressures
.. Check
the tyre pressures at least once a month
and, in addition, before starting a long journey. Wheels
and tyres
.. The tyre pressures should only be checked when
the tyres are cold. The slightly raised pressures
of warm tyres must not be reduced.
.. Refer to the sticker ¢ Fig. 220 for the correct
tyre pressures according to the load the vehicle
is carrying.
.. If necessary , adjust the tyre pressure.
.. Vehicles with tyre pressure loss indicator*:
Store the new tyre pressures on the infotain­
ment system ¢ page 235 .
.. Check the pressure of the spare wheel* /com­
pact temporary spare wheel*. Keep the spare
tyre inflated to the highest pressure approved
for the tyre.
A WARNING
Always adjust the tyre pressures to match
your driving style and the load the vehicle is
carrying.
- Excessive loads can cause you to lose control
of the vehicle -risk of accident!
- Under-inflated tyres flex more and can over­
heat at high speeds or when the vehicle is
carrying a heavy load. This could cause a
tyre blow-out and you could lose control of
the vehicle -risk of accident!
- Incorrect tyre pressures increase tyre wear
and adversely affect vehicle braking and
handling -risk of accident!
CD CAUTION
Replace any lost valve caps to prevent dam­
age to the tyre valves.
@ For the sake of the environment
Under-inflated tyres will increase the fuel con­
sumption.
@ Note
We recommend using the tyre pressure set­
ting (Dor@ for partial loads.
Winter tyres
In winter road conditions winter tyres will consid­
erably improve the car's handling. Due to their

indicate its position.
Each time you change a tyre, change the wheels
round or change the tyre pressures on your vehi­
cle (e.g. when switching from partial load to full
load and vice-versa), you must store the new tyre
pressures on the infotainment system
¢ page 235. Monitoring of the tyre pressures is
based on the tyre pressures you have stored. The
inflation pressures recommended for your vehicle
are given on the tyre pressure sticker
¢ page 233, Fig. 220.
The rolling circumference and vibration can
change and cause a tyre pressure warning if:
- The inflation pressure in one or more tyres is
too low.
- The tyre has suffered structural damage.
- The wheels were changed or the tyre pressures
were changed and the new tyre pressures were
not stored ¢ page 235.
- You are driving with the temporary spare
wheel*.

risk of accident!
CD CAUTION
When removing/fitting the wheel the rim may
hit and damage the brake disc. For this rea­
son, please take care and get a second person
to assist you.
Tyres with directional tread pattern
A directional tread pattern can be identified by
arrows on the sidewall that point in the direction
of rotation. Always note the direction of rotation
indicated when mounting the wheel. This is im­
portant so that these tyres can give maximum
grip and avoid excessive noise, tread wear and
aquaplaning.
If you ever have a puncture and need to fit the
spare wheel* in the wrong direction, please drive
with extra care because the tyre will not give op­
timum performance in this situation. Bear this in
mind particularly when driving on wet roads.
To benefit from the advantages of tyres with this
type of tread pattern, the defective tyre should
be replaced and refitted as soon as possible so
that all tyres again rotate in the correct direction.
After changing a wheel
.,. Fit the hubcap or wheel bolt caps back on, as
required.
.,. Put the tools and jack back in the luggage com­
partment.
.,. If the replaced wheel will not fit into the spare
wheel well, stow it safely in the luggage com­
partment ¢ page 201.
.,. Check
the tyre pressure of the fitted wheel as
soon as possible.
.,. Adjust the tyre pressures and store them via
the infotainment system.
.,. The wheel bolts should be tightened to 120
Nm. Have this checked as soon as possible with
a torque wrench. Until then, drive with caution.
.,. Have
the flat tyre replaced as quickly as possi­
ble. Mobility

Snow chains
For technical reasons, snow chains must not be
used on the compact temporary spare wheel.
Sheu ld you have a puncture on one of the front
wheels when using snow chains, fit the compact
temporary spare wheel in place of one of the rear
wheels. You can then attach the snow chains to
the wheel taken from the rear and use this wheel
to replace the punctured front wheel.
A WARNING
- The tyre pressure must be checked as soon
as possible after fitting the spare wheel-an
incorrectly inflated tyre can increase the risk
of accident. You can find the tyre pressures
here ¢ page 233, Fig. 220.
- Do not drive faster than 80 km/h when the
compact temporary spare wheel is fitted -
higher speeds can cause an accident.
- Avoid heavy acceleration, hard braking and
fast cornering when the compact temporary
spare wheel is fitted -risk of accident!
- Never use two or more compact spare tyres
at the same time -risk of accident!
- No other type of tyre (normal summer or
winter tyres) may be fitted on the compact
temporary spare wheel.
]ump-starting Before starting the engine
If necessary, the engine can be started by con­
necting it to the battery of another vehicle.
If the engine fails to start because of a dis­
charged battery, the battery can be connected to
the battery of another vehicle to start the engine.
Suitable jump Leads are required.
Both batteries must be rated at 12 Volts. The ca­
pacity (Ah) of the booster battery should not be
significantly lower than that of the discharged
battery.
Jump Leads
The jump Leads must be heavy enough to carry
the starter current. Refer to the details given by
the manufacturer.
248 Only
use jump leads with insulated battery
clamps.
Positive cable -usually red.
Negative cable -usually black.
A WARNING
- When it is discharged the battery can freeze
at temperatures around 0°
(. A frozen bat­
tery must first be thawed out before con­
necting the jump leads, as it could other­
wise explode.
- Note the safety warnings referring to work­
ing in the engine compartment ¢ page 220.
(© Note
- There must be no contact between the two
vehicles as otherwise current could flow as
soon as the positive terminals are connec­
ted and the boosting battery could be dis­
charged.
