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 t ire with a tread pattern in­
tended fo r use in a specific direction, please note
the following:
- The direction of rotat ion is marked by an arrow
on 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 s ince the tire will not be able to achieve its
opt imum performance character istics with re­
gard to aquaplaning, noise and wear .
- We recommend that you pay particular atten­
t ion to this 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 vehicle as soon as possible to
restore the handling advantages of a unidirec­
tiona l tire .
Notes on wheel changing
Please read the information ~ page 290 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 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
tightening torque .
Emergency assistance
-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.
A WARNING
