Tire pressure monitoring system
Applies to veh ic les: with tir e pr essure monitor in g system
General notes
As an adde d safe ty feature, your vehicle has been equ ipped wit h a
tire pressure monitoring sys tem (TPMS) that i lluminates a low tire
pressure te llta le when one or more of your tires is significant ly
under-inflated . The TPMS only provides a low tire pressure warning
and does not reinflate your tires.
According ly, when the low tire pressure te llta le i llum inates, you
shou ld stop and check your tires as soon as possib le, and infla te
them to the proper pressure . Driv ing on a significantly under ­
inf lated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under -inflation a lso reduces fue l efficiency and tire tread life, and
may affect the vehicle 's hand ling and stopping ab ility .
0 Note
• Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire
maintenance , and it is the driver's responsibility to maintain correct
..,_

pressures for normal load conditions, p lease see chapter
~ p ag e 297 .
& WARNING
• When the tire pre ssure monitoring sy stem warning light i s lit ,
one or more of your tires is sign ifi cantly under-inflated . You should
s top and check your tire s as soon as possible , and inflate them to
the p rope r pres sure a s indicated on the vehicle's tire pre ssure
label
~ page 297 . Driving on a significantly under -inflated tire
c ause s the t ire to overheat and can lead to tire failure . Under -infla ­
tion also is likely to impair the vehicle's handling and stopping
ability .
• Do not adjust tire pre ssure when tire temperature is excessive.
Thi s could lead to serious tire damage and even cause the tire to
burst , with the additional danger of an ac cident .
<£' For the sake of the environment
Driving wi th under -inflated tires reduces fuel efficiency and tire
tread life.
[ i ] Tips
• Each tire should be checked mon th ly when cold and set to the
recommended inf lat ion pressure as specified on the tire pressure
table~ page 297 .
• The tire pre ssur e monito ring system he lp s the drive r to kee p
t rack of the tire pressures. But the d river s til l has the responsibi lity
for maintaining the correct tire p ressure .
• Tire pressure must only be adjusted when th e temperature of the
t ires is about the same as am bien t air temperatu re .
• When tires are replaced , the sensors and va lves must not be
detached or exchanged. Only the valve co re needs t o be rep laced
and, if necessary, the valve and the wheel e lectronics replaced.
Controls and equip ­
ment
Driver information display
• If you should put different whee ls and tires on your vehic le (e .g.
win ter wheels a nd ti res), you must be certa in that the wheels a nd
tires are compatible with the t ire pressure monitoring system .
O therwise the system will register a ma lfunction and a fau lt
message will be displayed. For more information, contact your Audi

If the ~ warning light in the instrument cluster comes on
and then the
( symbol appears in the display=> page 47,
fig. 36 or => fig. 37, pressure in at least one tire is too low.
- Stop driving as soon as possible, without endangering yourself and other motorists.
Inspect the t ire or tires .

The ...., warning light in the ins trument cluster comes on when the

[ i ] Tips
• In the case of an intentional loss of air pressure, for examp le,
when re -adjusting tire pressure, this has to be stored again after ­
wards~ page 48.
• Tire pressure must only be adjusted when the temperature of the
t ires is about the same as ambient air temperature.
• The yellow symbol disappears, when the tire pressure is
corrected and the new pressure is s tored in the system
~ page 48 .
• After changing a wheel you have to adjust the tire pressures on
all wheels. In addition, you must then initia lize the new tire pres­
sures in the tire pressure monitoring
system ~ page 50. •

In order for the tire pressure monitoring system to operate
accurately, you have to re-save the specified pressures
whenever you adjust tire pressure, for example, when the load condition of your vehicle changes. Proceed as follows:
Correct the tire pressure
- check the pressure in the tires (including the spare tire),
- adjust the air pressure as needed in accordance with the
information on the tire pressure label.
