WheeLs

Tyres and rims
General notes

•
Inspect the tyres regularly for damage (cuts,
cracks or blisters, etc.). Remove any foreign
bodies embedded in the treads.

•
If
you
have to drive over
a
kerb or similar obsta­

cle,
drive very slowly and as near as possible at
a right angle to the kerb.
• Damaged rims or tyres must be replaced imme­
diately.

•
Keep grease, oil and fuel off the tyres.

•
Mark the wheels before taking them off so that
they rotate in the same direction when refitted.

•
When removed, the wheels should be stored
flat in a
cool,
dry and preferably dark place.

CAUTION
- Please note that summer and winter tyres
are optimised for the prevailing road condi­
tions at different times of
year.
We recom­
mend that you use winter tyres during the
winter months. At low temperatures, sum­
mer tyres lose their elasticity and grip, and
braking performance also suffers as a re­
sult. Cracks can form in the tread block on
summer tyres if they are used at very cold
temperatures, and this can cause perma­
nent damage to the tyres. An increase in
rolling noise and tyre imbalance may result
from this damage.
- Machined, polished or chrome-plated rims
must not be used in winter conditions. The
process used to manufacture these types of
wheel rim does not provide adequate sur­
face protection against corrosion, and the
rims can be permanently damaged by road
salt or similar.
New wheels or tyres
It is best to have all servicing of wheels and tyres
performed by a qualified workshop, since they
have the necessary special tools and replacement
parts in addition to trained personnel.

•
New tyres do not yet give maximum grip. When
driving with new tyres, drive at moderate
speeds and be especially careful during the first
500 km.

•
All four wheels must be fitted with tyres of the
same type, size (rolling circumference) and
preferably the same tread pattern.
• Tyres should be replaced in pairs and not
indi­

vidually (i.e. both front tyres or both rear tyres
together).

•
We recommend the use of Audi Genuine Tyres.
If
you
wish to use other tyres, please note that
the actual size can differ from the nominal size
marked on the tyre
•=> /\.
•
If
you
wish to purchase a different combination
of rims and tyres than the ones fitted on the ve­
hicle during production, it is advisable to
con­

sult
a
qualified workshop beforehand
<=> /\.

The sizes of the rims and tyres approved
for
your
vehicle are listed in the vehicle's documents (e.g.

EC
Certificate of Conformity or COC
document1)).

The vehicle documents vary depending on the
country in which the vehicle is registered.
If the spare wheel* is
not
the same type as the
tyres fitted on the car (for example if the car has
winter tyres or wide-section tyres) you should on­
ly use the spare wheel* if
a
puncture occurs, and
then
only
for
a
short period of time. In this case,
please drive with extra care. Refit
a
normal road
wheel as soon as possible.
Applies to vehicles with four-wheel drive: All four
wheels must always be fitted with tyres of the
same type, make and tread pattern, as the drive-
line could otherwise be damaged by variations in
the wheel speeds. For the same reason, only use
a spare wheel* which has the same rolling cir­
cumference as the normal road wheels.
Manufacturing date
The manufacturing date is indicated on the tyre
sidewall (possibly only on the inner side of the
wheel): •

15 COC
= Certificate of conformity

Care of vehicle and cleaning

A.
WARNING
- Follow the rules and recommendations of
the car wash operator and do not wash the
vehicLe with the ignition switched on - risk
of accident!
- To avoid cutting yourself on sharp metal

parts,
always wear suitable protection when
cleaning the underside of the car or inside
the wheel arches.
- After the car has been washed, the full brak­
ing effect can be delayed by moisture (or in
winter by ice) on the discs and brake pads -
risk of accident! The brakes should be dried
by pressing the pedal to restore full braking
effect.
© CAUTION
- Before washing the vehicle in an automatic
car wash, please make sure to retract the
exterior mirrors to prevent damage. Always
use the electrical power controL to fold the
mirrors in/out on vehicles with electrically
retractable exterior mirrors*.
- Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight -
otherwise the paint can be damaged.
- Do not use insect sponges or abrasive
household sponges, etc. - they can damage
the surfaces.
- Matt-painted vehicle parts:
- Do not use polish or wax - otherwise the
paintwork can be damaged.
- Never use car-wash programmes that in­
clude wax coatings. This could spoil the
matt finish.
- Do not attach any stickers or magnet la­
bels to matt-painted parts as these could
damage the paintwork when they are re­

moved.

® For the sake of the environment
The car should only be washed in special wash

bays.
This prevents oily water from getting in­
to the public drains.

- Wheels
- Do not use paint polish or other abrasive
agents.
- If the protective paint coating on the

Mobility
- Change clothing immediately if it becomes
soiled with the tyre sealant.
- If any allergic reactions should occur get
medical help immediately.
- Keep the sealant away from children.

©
Note
- If sealant should leak out, leave it to dry.
When it has dried, you can pull it off like a
piece of
foil.

- Observe the expiry date stated on the
seal­

ing compound can. Have the sealing com­
pound exchanged by
a
qualified workshop.
- Interference to the radio reception may oc­
cur when using the compressor*.
- Please observe the relevant regulations.
Tyre repairs

Fig.
258 Tyres: Filling the tyre
Important: The tyre repair kit must be at hand
and ready for use
•=>page
319.
Filling the tyre

•
Shake the tyre sealant can
well.

•
Screw the enclosed filling hose onto the sealant
can as far as it will go. This will automatically
pierce the foil sealing the can.
• Take the valve cap off the tyre valve and use the
enclosed valve insert tool to unscrew the valve

insert
^F/'g.
258.
• Place the valve insert onto a clean surface.
• Remove the sealing plug from the filling hose
and insert the hose into the tyre valve.
• Hold the tyre sealant can upside down and fill
the complete contents into the tyre.
• Then disconnect the filling hose and screw the
valve insert firmly back into the tyre valve.
Inflating the tyre
• Screw the compressor hose (from the tyre re­
pair kit) onto the tyre valve and plug the
con­

nector into an electrical socket in the vehicle.
• Pump the tyre up to 2.0 to 2.5 bar and monitor
the pressure shown on the pressure gauge.
• If the tyre pressure remains lower than the
val­

ue specified above, remove the hose and drive
10 metres forwards or backwards at
a
low
speed so that the sealant can spread evenly in
the tyre. Now pump the tyre up again
o
A.
A WARNING
- Please observe the manufacturers' safety
notes on the compressor and the instruc­
tions supplied with the tyre sealant can.
- If it was not possible to build up a tyre pres­
sure of 2.0 bar within six minutes this
means that the tyre is too badly damaged.
Do not drive on.
- Seek professional assistance if the repair of
a tyre puncture is not possible with the
seal­

ing compound.
© Note
Do not use the compressor for longer than
6 minutes at
a
time, as it could overheat.
When the compressor has cooled down, you
can use it again.
After repairing a tyre
Applies to: vehicles with tyre repair kit
• Affix the sticker "max. 80
km/h",
which is
inclu­

ded in the tyre repair kit, to the dashboard
where the driver will see it.
• After about 10 minutes, stop to check the tyre
pressure.
• If tyre pressure is less than 1.3 bar, the tyre is
too badly damaged. Do not drive on.
A WARNING
After repairing a tyre please note the follow-
ng points:

General notes
Changing bulbs requires a certain degree of
practical
skill.

LED*
lights are maintenance-free and cannot be

changed.
For repairs, please contact a qualified
workshop.
If
you
decide to change bulbs in the engine com­
partment yourself, be aware of the safety risks
involved
*
A in Working on components in the
engine compartment on page 295.
WARNING
- Take particular care when working on com­
ponents in the engine compartment if the
engine is warm - risk of burns!
- Bulbs are sensitive to pressure. The glass
can break when you touch the bulb, causing
injury.
- When changing bulbs, please take care not
to injure yourself on sharp edges, in particu­
lar on the headlight housing.
© CAUTION
-Always switch off the ignition before carry­
ing out any work on the electrical system -
danger of short circuiting!
- Switch off the Lights or parking lights before
you change a bulb.
- Take good care to avoid damaging any com­
ponents.
