What should I be aware of when
changing a tire?
Tires with unidirectional tread design
Tires with unidirectional tread design must be mounted
with their tread pattern pointed the right direction.
A unidirectional t ire can be identified by arrows on the sidewall ,
which point in the direction of the rotation. You must follow the spec-
ified direction of rotation. This is necessary in order for these tires to
develop their optimum characteristics regarding grip, road noise,
wear, and hydroplaning . •

theft wheel bolt

Vehicle OP-eration
- Loosen or tighten the wheel bolt => page 231.
We recommend always keeping the wheel bolt adapter with you in
the vehicle. It should be stored in the vehicle tool kit.
There is a
code number for the wheel bolt locking device, stamped on
the face of the adapter . You can use this number to obtain a replace-
ment adapter at an authorized Audi dealership, if necessary.
[I) Tips
Write down the wheel bolt locking device code number and store it in
a safe place, away from the vehicle. •
