You can tell which memory level is currently active by the number in the display ::::> fig. 23. The data from the single -trip memory
(memory level 1) is being displayed if a
1 appears in the display . If a
2 is shown, then the data from the total -trip memory is being
displayed (memory level 2).
Single-trip memory (Trip computer 1)
The single-trip memory stores the trip information from the time the
ignition is turned on until it is turned off. If the trip is continued
within 2 hours from the time the ignition was turned off, the new
data will be included in the calculation of the current trip informa ­
tion. If the trip is interrupted for
more than 2 hours the memory is
reset automatically .
Total-trip memory (Trip computer 2)
Unlike the single-trip memory, the total -trip memory is not reset
automatically . This permits you to evaluate your driving data for the
entire period between manual resets .•

Tire pressure monitoring system
General notes l )
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked
monthly when co ld and inflated to the inflation pressure recom­
mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size
than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pres­
sure label, you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure
for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a
tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly
under-inf lated . Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illu­
minates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible,
and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly
under -inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire
failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread
life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire mainte ­
nance, and it is the driver's responsibility to maintain correct tire .,_

pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger
illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure tellta le .
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indi­ cator to indicate when the system is not operating properly . The
TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low t ire pressure
telltale . When the system detects a ma lfunction, the telltale wil l
fl ash for approximately one minu te and then remain continuously
illuminated . T his sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle
start-ups as long as the ma lfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be ab le to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS
malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the
veh icle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always
check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more
tires or whee ls on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or
a lternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function
properly .•
Introduction
The tire pressure monitoring system monitors air pressure
in all four road wheels while the vehicle is moving.
As soon as the tire pressure mon itoring system senses a s ignificant
loss of air pressure in one or severa l tires, text messages and yellow
symbo ls appear in the instrument cluster display to a lert the driver .
T he ~ warning light in the instrument cluster comes on when the
t ire is significant ly underinflated ;;:,
page 20.
The warning light ' also illuminates in the case of a system
malfunction.
Be aware that tire pressure is also dependent on the temperature of
the tire. For every 18 °F (10 °Cl increase in tire temperature, tire pres ­
sure increases by about 1 .5 psi (0 .1 bar). The tire warms up while the
vehic le is moving and tire pressure rises. So you should adjust tire

pressure only when they are cold, when the temperature of the tires
is roughly the same as the ambien t air temperature .
In order to keep the tire pressure monitoring system properly cali ­
brated, tire pressure on all four tires should be checked at regular
intervals, adjusted if necessary and saved in the proper setting
(recommended pressure) ;;:,
page 45.
The tire pressure is shown on the tire pressure label. On USA vehi­
cles, the tire pressure labe l is located on the driver's side 8-pi llar . On
Canada vehicles, the tire pressure labe l is located eithe r on the
driver's side 8 -p illar or inside the fuel fi ller flap. The tire pressure
label lists the recommended cold tire inflation p ressu res for the
vehic le at its maximum capacity weight and the tires that were on
your vehicle at the time it was manufactured. For recommended tire
pressures for normal load conditions, please see chapter
;;:, page 351.
& WARNING

[ i ] Tip s
• Each tire should be checked monthly when cold and set to the
recommended inf lation pressure as spec ified on the tire pressure
table ~
page 351 .
• The tire pressure monitoring system he lps the driver to keep an
eye on t ire pressures . But the driver stil l has the responsibility for
maintaining the correct tire pressure .
• Tire pressure must only be adjusted when the tempera ture of the
tires is about the same as ambient air temperature .
• When tires are replaced , the sensors and valves should no t be
detached or exchanged. Only the valve core needs to be rep laced
and , if necessary , the valve and the wheel electronics replaced .
• If you should put different wheels and tires on your vehicle (e.g.
winter wheels and tires) , you must be certain that the wheels and
tires are compatible with the tire pressure monitoring system.
Otherwise the system will regis ter a ma lfunction and a fault
message will be displayed . For more information, contact your
authorized Audi dea ler.
• Adjust the tire pressure and store the pressure in the tire pres ­
sure monitoring system to the load you are carrying~

[ i ] Tip s
• In the case of an intentional loss of air pressure, for example,
when re -adjusting tire pressure, this has to be stored again after ­
wards:::::,
page 45 .
• Tire pressure must only be adjusted when the temperature of the
tires is about the same as ambient air temperature.
• The ye llow symbol disappears, when the tire pressure is
corrected and the new pressure is stored in the system=:>
page 45.
• After changing a wheel you have to adjust the tire pressures on
all whee ls . In addition, you must then initialize the new tire pres­
sures in the tire pressure monitoring system=:>
