If the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
indicator appears
The tire pressure indicator in the instrument
cluster informs you if the tire pressure is too low
or
if there is a system malfunction.
Using the ABS sensors, th e tire p ressure monitor
i n g
system compares the tire tread circumfer
ence and vibra tion char
acteristi cs of the individ u
al tires.
If the pressure changes in one or more
tires,
this i s indicated in the Infotainment system
d isp lay
with an ind icator light RI and a message .
If only one tire is affected , the location of that
tire will be ind icated.
The tire pressures must be stored in the Infotain
ment system again each time the pressu res
change (switching between partial and full load
pressure) or
after changing or replacing a tire on
your veh icle ¢ page 269. The tire pressure moni
toring system only monitors the tire pressure you
have stored. Refe r
to the tire pressure label for
the recommended tire pressure for your veh icl e
¢page260, fig.195.

-If you have a flat tire, move a safe distance
off the road. Turn off the engine, turn the
emergency flashers on and use other warn
ing devices to alert other motorists.
-Make sure that passengers wait in a safe
place away from the vehicle and well away
from the road and traffic.
-
To help prevent the vehicle from moving
suddenly and possibly slipping off the jack,
always fully
set the parking brake and block
the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel be
ing changed. When one front wheel is lifted
off the ground, placing the Automatic
Transmission in P (Park) will not prevent the
vehicle from moving.
- Before you
change a wheel, be sure the
ground is level and firm. If necessary, use a
sturdy board under the jack.
- Always
store the veh icle tool k it, the jack
and the replaced tire in the luggage com
partment¢ page 176.
Changing a wheel
When you change a wheel, follow the sequence
described

page
280 and c::>page 282.
After changing a wheel
A wheel change is not complete without the do
ing the following.
.. Always store the vehicle tool kit, the jack* and
the replaced tire in the luggage compartment
c::>page 176.
.. Check the tire pressu re on the spare wheel im
mediately after mounting it.
.,. As soon as possib le, have the tightening tor
que s on all wheel bolts checked with a torque
wrench. The correct tightening torque is 90 ft
lb (120 Nm).
.. Have the flat t ire replac ed as soon as possible .
(0 Tips
-If you notice tha t the wheel bolts are cor
roded and difficult to turn while changing a
t ire,
they s hou ld be replaced before you
check
the tightening torque.
- Drive
at reduced speed unti l yo u have the
tightening torques checked.

After changing a wheel, the tire pressure in
all four tires must be checked/corrected and
the tire pressure monitoring indicator must
be stored in the Infotainment c::> page 269.

A WARNING
- I
-You or your passengers could be injured
while changing a
wheel if you do not follow
these safety precautions:
- Position
the vehicle jack only at the desig
nated lifting points and align the jack.
Otherwise,
the vehicle jack could slip and
cause an injury if it does not have suffi
cient hold on the vehicle.
- A
soft or unstable surface under the jack
may cause the vehicle to slip off the jack .
Always provide a firm
base for the jack on
the ground. If necessary, use a sturdy
board under the jack .
-
On hard, slippery surface (such as tiles)
use a
rubber mat or similar to prevent the
jack
from s lipp ing.
-
Only rais e your vehicle with the vehicle
jack provided by
the factory. If you use a
vehicle jack for
another vehicle, your vehi
cle can slide
and cause injury .
- Changes
in temperature or load can affect
the height of the vehicle.
- Never
start the engine when the vehicle is
raised, which could
cause an accident .
-
Support the vehicle securely with appro
priate stands if work is to be performed
underneath the vehicle; otherwise, there
is a potential risk of injury.

Emergency assistance
After you have loosened all wheel bolts and
raised
the vehicle off the ground, remove and re
place
the wheel as follows:
Removing the wheel
.... Use the hexagonal socket in the screwdriver
handle
to completely remove the topmost
wheel bolt and set it aside on a clean surface
¢fig. 205.
.... Screw the threaded end of the alignment pin
from the tool kit hand-tight into the empty bolt
hole ¢fig. 206.
.,. Then remove the other wheel bolts as described
above .
.,. Take off the wheel leaving the alignment pin in
the bolt hole ~CD.
Putting on the compact spare wheel
... Lift the spare wheel and carefully slide it over
the alignment pin to guide it in place ¢(0.
... Use the hexagonal socket in the screwdriver
handle to screw in and tighten all wheel bolts
slightly .
.,. Remove the alignment pin and insert and tight
en the remaining wheel bolt slightly like the
rest .
.... Turn the jack handle counter-clockwise to lower
the vehicle until the jack is fully released .
.... Use the wheel bolt wrench to tighten all wheel
bolts firmly ¢ page 2 79. Tighten them cross
wise,
from one bolt to the (approximately) op
posite one, to keep the wheel centered.
CD Note
When removing or installing the wheel, the
rim could hit the brake rotor and damage the
rotor. Work carefully and have a second per
son help you.
@ Tips
Never use the hexagonal socket in the handle
of the screwdriver to loosen or tighten the
wheel bolts.
-Pull the reversible blade from the screwdriv

-When mounting tires with unidirectional
tread design
make su re the tread pattern is
pointed the r ight way¢ page 282.
- The wheel bolts should be clean and easy to
turn .
Check for dirt and corros ion on th e
mating surfaces of both
the wheel and the
hub. Remove all dirt from these surfaces be
fore remounting t h e 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 using a spare tire with a tread pattern in
tended for use in a spec ific direction, please note
the following:
- The direct ion of
rotation is marked by an arrow
o n
the side of the tire.
-If the spare tire has to be installed in the incor
rect direction, use the spare tire only tempora
rily since the tire will not be able to achieve its
optimum performance charact
eristics wit h re
gard to aqu aplaning, noise and wear.

Notes on wheel changing
Please read the info rmation ¢ page 257 if you
are goi
ng to use a spare tire which is different
from
the tires on your vehicle.
Afte r 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-
282
sible 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
that the wheel bolts are corroded
and difficult
to turn while changing a tire,
they should be replaced before you check the
