Tires and vehicle load limits
There are limits to the amount of
load or weight that any vehicle
and any tire can carry . A vehicle
that is overloaded will not handle
well and is more difficult to stop.
Overloading can not only lead to
loss of vehicle control, but can al
so damage important parts of the
vehicle and can lead to sudden
tire failure, including a blowout

General information and safety precautions
Appl ies to: ve hicles with tire repair kit
The tire repair is only meant for temporary use.
Fig. 212 T ire damage, for which the ti re repair kit is not
su itable
N
-r--0 ci: co ID
Your veh icle is equipped with a tire repair kit (Tire
Mobility System) .
In the event of a flat tire, the tire repair kit is
found in the luggage compartment behind the right side trim panel, and is made up of tire seal
ant and a compressor¢
page 107 , fig. 121 .
Only tire damage caused by foreign objects up to
approx imately 0.16 in
( 4 mm ) in diameter can be
safely sealed with the tire repair kit.
The foreign object can stay in the tire .
The tire sealant may not be used :
-If the t i re has cuts or punctures that are larger
than 0.16 in (4 mm)
,=;,fig. 212@.
-If the rim is damaged @.
- If you drove with very low t ire pressure or with-
out air in the tire@.
Tire repair kit usage is described in
Performing
t he repai r
c;, page 254 and in the instructions
with the sealant bottle .
The tire repair kit is able to be used at tempera
tures as low as -4
°F ( -20 °().
A WARNING
Pay attent ion to the following after repairing
the tire:
- Do not drive faster than SO mph (80 km/h).
Em ergen cy a ssis tanc e
-Avoid hard acce leration, braking sharply,
and fast cornering .
- The vehicle may become more difficult to
control.
- Tires sealed with the tire repair kit are only
meant to be used
t e mpo ra ril y . Damaged
tires must be replaced.
- The tire repa ir k it may
NO T be used
- If the t ire has cuts or punctures that are
larger than 0.16 in (4 mm) .
- If the rim is damaged.
- If you drove with very low tire pressure or
without air in the tire.
- Obta in qualified help if it is not possible to
perform the repair with the tire sealant.
- The tire sealant must not come in contact
with skin, eyes, or clothes.
- If tire sealant gets in your eyes or on your

- If an a llergic reaction occurs, seek immedi
ate med ica l attent ion .
- Keep the t ire sealant away from child ren.
@ For the sake of the environment
Used sealant bottles may be returned to yo ur
authorized Audi dea le r fo r disposal.
@ Tips
- If sealant has spilled out, let it dry and then
you ca n remove it by pee ling it away like a
foil.

Emergency assistance
Performing the repair
Applies to: vehicles w ith tire repair k it
Fig. 213 Performing the repair
Preparations
.,. Park the vehicle as far as possible from moving
traffic in the event of a flat tire.
.,. Set the
parking brake to prevent the vehicle
from ro lling un intent ionally.
.,. Sh ift the
selector lever into the P po sition .
.,. Determ ine whether a repair with the tire repair
kit is possible or not¢
page 253.
.,. Let all of the passengers
exit the vehicle and
move a safe distance away¢_&. .
.,. Take the
sealant bottle and the compressor
out of the luggage compartment ¢ page 107,
fig. 121.
.,. Affix the label "max. 50 mph (80 km/h)", found
on the sealant bottle, to the instrument cluster
where it can be seen by the driver.
Filling a tire
.,. Shake the bottle thoroughly before fi lling.
.,. Screw the accompanying filling hose complete
ly onto the bottle. This breaks through the foil
seal automatically at the connection .
.,. Remove the valve cap from the tire valve and
unscrew the valve insert using the accompany
ing valve insert tool
~fig. 213 .
.,. Lay the valve insert on a clean surface .
.,. Remove the sealing plug from the filling hose
and connect the hose to the tire valve .
.,. Hold the bottle with the bottom facing upward
and empty the entire contents into the tire .
.,. Then pull out the hose and screw the valve in
sert tightly back into the tire valve.
254
Inflating a tire
.,. Screw the filling hose for the compressor onto
the tire valve and insert the connector into the
cigarette lighter.
.. Inflate the tire to between 29 PSI (200 kPA)
and 36 PSI (250 kPA) and read the pressure on
the gauge .
.,. If this tire pressure is not reached, drive your
veh icle approximately 33
ft (10 meters) for
ward or backward so that the sealant can be re
distr ibuted inside the tire. If at this time the re
qui red air press ure st ill cannot be reached, the
tire is too badly damaged and cannot be re
pa ired with the tire sealant .
Final inspection
.,. Stop the vehicle after dr iv ing for about 10 mi
nutes and check the tire pressure.
.,. If the tire pressure is lower than 19 PSI
(130 kPA), then the t ire is too severely dam
aged . Do not continue driving . Please seek pro
fessional ass istance .
&_ WARNING
- Turn on the emergency flashers if you have a
flat tire while in moving traffic. This is for
your protection and the for the safety of
other drivers.
- Take care to move all of the passengers to a
safe place (behind a guard rail for example) .
- Read and follow the manufacturer's safety
precaut ions on the compressor and in the
instructions on the bottle of sealant!
- If a tire pressure of 29 PSI (200 kPA) cannot
reached after inflating for 12 minutes, then
the tir e is too severely damaged. Do not
continue driving.
- Obta in qualified help if it is not possible to
pe rform the repair with the tire sealant .
- If the tire pressure is less than 19 PSI
(130 kPA) after 10 minu tes of driv ing, then
the tire is too severely damaged . Do not
con tinue driv ing. Seek profess ional assis
ta nce.

(D Note
Special care is required if you are repairing
the tire on a steep incline.
@ Tips
- Do not operate the compressor for more
than 12 minutes continuously, otherwise it
can overheat. Once the compressor has
cooled, you can continue to use it.
- If sealant has spi lled out, let it dry and then
you can remove it by peeling it away like a
foil.
- Remember to obtain a new bott le of sealant
from your authorized Audi dealer after re
pair ing a tire. After this, the functionality of
the tire repair set is restored .
- Obey all laws.
