Audi Q5 Self-help Mobility
Applies to: vehicles with collapsible spare wheel
The collapsible spare wheel is only intended for temporary use over short distances. After use, have it checked as soon as possible by a qualified workshop and, if necessary, replaced.
Please note the following restrictions when using the collapsible spare wheel. The collapsible spare wheel is designed specifically for this model. For this reason, do not use a collapsible spare wheel from a different type of vehicle.
The collapsible spare wheel is stowed under the floor panel in the luggage compartment.
Important: The tools link and compressor must be unpacked and ready for use.
Removing
Fold back the floor panel Fig. .
Turn the plastic knob anti-clockwise.
Take out the collapsible spare wheel.
Pump up the collapsible spare wheel prior to use.
Inflating
Unscrew the valve cap from the collapsible spare wheel.
Screw the compressor hose onto the tyre valve of the collapsible spare wheel.
Plug the connector of the compressor into an electrical socket on the vehicle and switch it on.
Run the compressor until the tyre pressure reaches the value listed on the tyre pressure sticker Fig.  .
Screw the valve cap back onto the valve.
Stowing
Unscrew the valve cap to release the air from the tyre.
Wait a few hours before placing the collapsible spare wheel back in the spare wheel well. Only then can it be folded back completely and stowed safely.
Then screw the valve cap back onto the valve.
Secure the collapsible spare wheel with the plastic knob.
Fold the floor panel back down.
Snow chains
For technical reasons, snow chains must not be used on the collapsible spare wheel.
Should you have a puncture on one of the front wheels when using snow chains, fit the collapsible spare wheel in place of one of the rear wheels. You can then attach the snow chains to the wheel taken from the rear and use this wheel to replace the punctured front wheel.
WARNING
  • Use the collapsible spare wheel in an emergency only and take extra care when driving if it is more than 6 years old.
  • The compressor and the hose can become very hot during operation (risk of burns).
  • The tyre pressure must be checked as soon as possible after fitting the collapsible spare wheel – an incorrectly inflated tyre can increase the risk of accident.
  • Do not drive faster than 80 km/h when the collapsible spare wheel is fitted – higher speeds can cause an accident.
  • Avoid heavy acceleration, hard braking and fast cornering when the collapsible spare wheel is fitted – risk of accident!
  • Never use more than one collapsible spare wheel on the vehicle at the same time – risk of accident!
  • No other type of tyre (normal summer or winter tyres) may be fitted on the rim of the collapsible spare wheel.
CAUTION
Turn the compressor off after 12 minutes at the latest (risk of overheating). Allow the compressor to cool down for a few minutes before using it again.
