The vehicle jack is stored under the onboard tool kit.

Hybrid drive: the storage location of the onboard tool kit varies.

The onboard tool kit includes:

• Hook for removing wheel covers
• Plastic hook to remove wheel bolt covers
• Alignment pin for changing wheels
• Wheel bolt wrench
• Folding chocks
• Screwdriver with reversible blade
• Socket (removable Torx socket)
• 10 x 13 open ended wrench (for disconnecting the battery cables)
• Towing eye

Before storing the jack, make sure it is wound back down as far as it will go.

WARNING

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

• 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.
• Using a bumper jack to raise the vehicle will damage the bumper system. The jack may slip, causing injury.
• Never support your vehicle on cinder blocks, bricks or other objects. These may not be able to support the load and could cause injury when they fail.
• Never start or run the engine while the vehicle is supported by the jack.
• If you must work under the vehicle, always use safety stands specifically designed for this purpose.
• Never use the hexagonal socket in the handle of the screwdriver to loosen or tighten the wheel bolts.
• Always make sure the inflatable spare tire and even a flat tire are secured in place and not loose, otherwise they could fly forward, causing personal injury to passengers in the vehicle in an accident or sudden maneuver.

Tips

Some of the onboard items listed above are provided on certain models only or are optional extras.
