How to Inflate the Spare Tire of an Audi Q5
2 Answers
Audi Q5's spare tire needs to be inflated using the onboard air pump. The inflation method is as follows: 1. Open the left partition in the trunk and take out the spare tire and the tools beneath it. 2. Locate the gray air pump, which is about 20 cm long and wide, and connect the pump's air nozzle to the spare tire. 3. Plug the power cord into the cigarette lighter socket and turn on the air pump to inflate the spare tire. 4. While inflating, monitor the pressure gauge on the upper right side of the pump and maintain a normal tire pressure of 2.2-2.4 bar. If the pressure is too high, use the pressure relief valve button on the pump to release some air.
Inflating the spare tire of an Audi Q5 is actually quite simple. Having driven a Q5 for several years, I know the spare tire is usually stored in a dedicated compartment under the trunk floor—you'll need to lift the cover to access it. The toolkit always includes an electronic air pump that connects to the cigarette lighter, but it's safer to start the engine for power. The recommended tire pressure is typically listed on the label near the door, around 60-70 psi—don't exceed it to avoid bursting. Just follow the steps: attach the pump hose tightly to the valve stem and inflate slowly to the target pressure. I check the spare tire pressure monthly since I often forget, especially before long trips. If you don't have a pump, visit a repair shop to borrow external tools—never neglect this to avoid emergencies. Checking the pressure during routine tire maintenance can also save hassle.
