Fig. 194 Luggage compartment: vehicle tool kit

The vehicle tools and vehicle jack are stored in the luggage compartment under the floor cover.

  • Lift the cargo floor by the plastic handle.
  • Hook the handle into the luggage compartment weather strip.
  • Turn the handle counter-clockwise and remove the cover or the spare tire.
  • Unhook the cargo floor before closing the rear lid.

WARNING

Improper use of the vehicle jack can cause serious personal injuries.

  • Never use the screw driver hex head to tighten wheel bolts, since the bolts cannot attain the necessary tightening torque if you use the hex head, potentially causing an accident.
  • The factory-supplied jack is intended only for your vehicle model. Under no circumstances should it be used to lift heavy vehicles or other loads; you risk injuring yourself.
  • Never start the engine when the vehicle is raised, which could cause an accident.
  • Support the vehicle securely with appropriate stands if work is to be performed underneath the vehicle; otherwise, there is a potential risk for injury.
  • Never use the jack supplied with your Audi on another vehicle, particularly on a heavier one. The jack is only suitable for use on the vehicle it came with.

Tips

The vehicle jack in your vehicle is maintenance- free.
