- Change the tire if necessary~ page
272.
The warning light in the instrument cluster comes on when the
tire is significantly underinflated .
In addition, the tire symbol ,_, appears in the display together with
the message
Please check tire pressure=> page 265, fig. 185.
After a few seconds, the message disappears again. If you would
like to show the message again, press the Set/Check button
=>
page 8, fig. 2 @ .
[ i ] Tips
• In the case of an intentional loss of air pressure, such as when
readjusting tire pressure, the pressure must be stored again after­
ward =>
page 266.
• Tire pressure must only be adjusted when the temperature of the
tires is about the same as ambient air temperature.
• The yellow symbol disappears when the tire pressure is
corrected and the new pressure is stored in the system=>
page 266.
• After changing a wheel or replacing a wheel with the spare tire
you have to adjust the tire pressures on all wheels. In addition, you must then initialize the new tire pressures in the tire pressure moni­
toring system =>
page 267. •
Applies to vehicles: with tire pr essu re mon itoring system
Storing tire pressures
Correct storage of specified pressure is the basic require­
ment for reliable tire pressure monitoring .

Fig. 186 Car: Tire pres­
sure monitoring
system
In order for the tire pressure monitoring system to operate
appropriately, you have to re-save the specified pressures
whenever you adjust tire pressures, such as when the load condition of your vehicle changes. Proceed as follows:
Correcting tire pressure
- Check the pressure in the tires.
- Adjust air pressure as needed to comply with the infor- mation on the label located on the label located either on
the driver's side 8 -pillar or on the inside of the fuel filler
flap .
Saving tire pressures
-Turn on the ignition.
- Press the button~ fig. 186 for approximately 5 seconds.
You will hear a beep and the symbol in the instrument
cluster flashes three times. ..,.

•
All pressure warning indicators in the display will be canceled.
Fo llowing each intent ional change in specified pressures, tire pres­
sures must be saved again .
After the pressures are saved, the tire pressure monitoring system
measures the current tire pressures and saves them as the new
specified pressures.
[ i] Tips
• The tire pressure is shown on the tire pressure label. The tire
pressure label is located either on the driver's side B -pillar or on the
inside of the fuel filler flap. The tire pressure label lists the recom­
mended cold tire inflation pressures for the vehicle 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 247.
• The tire pressure monitoring system helps the driver monitor tire
pressures, but the driver is still responsible for maintaining the
correct tire pressure. •
Applies to vehicles: with tir e pressure monitor ing system
Wheel change
If a wheel is changed, the wheels that were exchanged
have to be reprogrammed.
- Turn on the ignition.
- Press the button=>
page 266, fig. 186 for approximately 5
seconds. You will hear a beep and the symbol in the
button flashes three times.
Programming is necessary:
• after the tires have been rotated on the vehicle, or the spare tire
is used, •
if tires with new wheel sensors are used.
All pressure warning indicators in the display will be canceled. The
system malfunction error message will not disappear until the
vehicle is underway. With pressing the button~
page 266, fig. 186,
the reprogramming of the new sensors and storing of actual pres­
sures starts . This learning phase can take up to 10 minutes driving
time.
During the learning process the tire pressure monitoring system is
not available. •
Applies to vehic les: with tir e pr essure monitor ing system
Malfunctions *
A malfunction can have various causes.
Fig. 187 Display:
System malfunction
If the '-warning light in the instrument cluster flashes for approxi ­
mately one minute and then remains continuously illuminated and
additionally the
~ f ig. 187 symbol appears in the display, the
tire pressure monitoring system is not available . This can have
various causes.
• If the message appears at the end of the learning process, the
system cannot recognize the wheels installed on the vehicle . This
can be because one or more wheels without a wheel sensor were
installed. .,,_

• A wheel sensor or other component may have failed.
• During ini tializat ion the system has detected more tha n 4 wheels
on the vehicle, for example whi le driving next to another car with a
tire pressure monitoring system.
• A wheel change was made but the button
:=:, page 266, fig. 186
was not pressed.
• Audi Genuine Parts were not used for parts replacement .
• If snow chains are being used, system function can be compro­
mised due to the shielding properties of the chains.
• The tire pressure monitoring system may not be avai lable
because of a radio malfunction.
• Transmitters with the same frequency, such as radio head­
phones in the vehic le or radio equipment, can cause a temporary
disruption of the system through excessive electromagnetic fields .
• Eliminate the interference if possible and then proceed as
follows: Turn off the engine for 20 minutes. Then drive another 10
min. If the warning light comes on again, you shou ld con tact your
authorized Audi dealer immediately to have the prob lem corrected.
• Do not use commercially avai lab le tire sea lants . Otherwise, the
e lectrica l components of the tire pressure monitoring system wi ll
no longer work properly and the sensor for the tire p ressure moni ­
toring system wil l have to be rep laced by an authorized Audi dealer
or o ther qua lified workshop .•

the engine, turn the emergency flasher on and use other warning
devices to alert other motorists.
• Make sure that passengers wait
in a safe place away from the
vehicle and well away from the roadway and traffic.
• To help prevent the vehicle from moving suddenly and possibly
slipping off the jack, always fully set the parking brake and block
the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel being changed. When one
front wheel is lifted off the ground, placing the automatic trans­
mission in "P" (Park), or engaging a gear in a manual transmission
will
not prevent the vehicle from moving.
• Before you change a wheel, be sure the ground is level and firm.
If necessary, use a sturdy board under the jack.
• After installing the spare wheel, make sure that you remount
the flat tire/wheel in its storage area properly and tighten the
knurled retaining screw securely. •
