34The locking wheel nuts on an Audi A5 are located under the boot floor. These security bolts prevent wheel theft and come with a unique key for removal.
Locking wheel nuts (also called anti-theft bolts) are specialised fasteners designed to deter wheel theft. Most modern cars including Audi A5, BMW 3 Series and Mercedes C-Class come equipped with them as standard. The Audi A5 uses a removable type with unique spline pattern that requires a matching key socket for removal. Always keep your locking wheel nut key in a safe place as replacements from Audi dealerships can be costly.
