drive r before yo u use the hexagonal
socket in t he handle to t urn the whee l
bo lts .

Notes on wheel change
Pl ease rea d the information ¢ page 191, 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? 211
- 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 u nidirectional tire can be identified by ar­
rows on the sidewall,

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 ­
