- Fig. 1 Folding out the wheel chocks
Some preparations are necessary before changing a wheel.
If you have a flat tyre, stop the car well away from moving traffic. Choose a location that is as level as possible.
All passengers should leave the car. They should wait in a safe place (for instance behind the roadside crash barrier).
Apply the parking brake to stop the Audi Q5 moving accidentally.
Engage first gear (manual gearbox) or move selector lever to position P (automatic gearbox).
If you are towing a trailer, unhitch it from your Audi Q5.
Use the wheel chocks Fig. 1 to block the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel being changed.
WARNING!
If you have a puncture in moving traffic, switch on the hazard warning lights and place the warning triangle in a visible location. This is for your own safety and also warns other road users.
Caution!
If you have to change the tyre on a gradient, use the collapsible wheel chocks or other suitable objects to block the wheel opposite the wheel being changed, to prevent the Audi Q5 from rolling away.
Note
Please observe the relevant regulations.
