@ Note
When removing or installing the wheel, the
r im could hit the brake rotor and damage the
rotor. Work carefu lly and have a second per­
son help you.
(D Tips
Never use the hexagonal socket in the handle
of the screwdriver to loosen or tighten the
wheel bolts.
- Pull the reversib le blade from the screwdriv­
er before you use the hexagonal socket in
the handle to turn the wheel bolts.
- When mounting tires with
unidirectional
tread design
make sure the tread pattern is
pointed the right way
¢page 264.
-The wheel bolts should be clean and easy to
turn. Check for dirt and corrosion on the
mating surfaces of bot h the wheel and the
hub. Remove all dirt from these surfaces be­
fore remounting the wheel.
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 us ing a spare tire w ith a tread pattern in­
tended for use in a specific direct ion, please note
the following:
- The direction of rotation is marked by an arrow
on the side of the tire .
264
-If the spare tire has to be installed in the incor­
rect direction, use the spare tire only tempora ­
r il y since the tire w ill not be ab le to achieve its
optimum performance character istics with re­
gard to aquaplaning, noise and wear.
- We recommend that you pay part icu lar atten­
tion to th is fact during wet weather and that
you adjust your speed to match road condi­
tions.
- Replace the flat tire with a new one and have it
installed on your veh icle as soon as possible to
resto re the handling advantages of a unidirec­
tional tire.
Notes on wheel changing
Please read the information ¢ page 242, New
tires ar wheels
if you are going to use a spare tire
which is different from the tires on your vehicle .
After you change a tire:
- Check the tire pressure on the spare immedi­
ately after installation.
- Have the wheel bolt tightening torque
checked with a torque wrench as soon as pos­
sible by your authorized Audi dealer or a
qualified workshop.
- With steel and alloy wheel rims, the wheel
bolts are correctly tightened at a torque of
105 ft lb (140 Nm).
- If you notice that the wheel bolts are corroded
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 vehicle as soon as possi­
ble. Remount the wheel cover.
Until then, drive with extra care and at reduced
speeds.
&_ WARNING
- If you are going to equ ip your vehi cle w ith
tires or rims which differ from those which
were factory installed, then be sure to read
