[ i ] Tip s
• In the case of an intentional loss of air pressure, for examp le,
when re -adjusting tire pressure, th is has to be stored again after ­
wards ~ page
43.
• Tire pressure must only be adjusted wh en 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
43.
• After changing a wheel you have to adjust the tire pressures on
a ll whee ls . In addi tion , you must then initialize the new tire pres­
sures in the tire pressure mon itoring system ~ page

Adjusting and storing the tire pressure
(step 1)
Only when the specified pressure is properly entered into
the system, is the tire pressure monit oring system prop­
erly calibrated for accurate indications.

Technical data

Following each intentional change in specified pressures, tire pres­
sures must be resaved .
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. On USA
vehic les, the tire pressure label is located on the driver 's side 8-
pillar. On Canada vehicles, the tire pressure label is located either on
the driver's side 8 -pi llar or insid e the fuel filler flap . The tire pressure
label lists the recommended 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 271.
• The tire pressure monitoring system he lps the driver to keep an
eye on tire pressures . But the driver st ill has t he responsibi lity for
maintaining the correct tire pressure .•

Your tire change is incomplete if you do not access the Driver Infor­
mation System menu, and select and confirm
Wh eel ch ange. You
must do this each time to change a tire . The procedure can take up
to 20 minutes driving time. During this time, the sensors are read ­
justing to the new wheel/tire combination, and the new pressures are stored.
During the learning phase, the tire pressure monitoring system is
not available. •

Malfunctions
A malfunction can have various causes.

Syst em m alfu nct ion
If the 'warning light in the instrument cluster flashes for approxi ­
mately one minute and then remains continuously illuminated and
additional ly the --, -=> fig. 35 symbol appears in the display, the
tire pressure monitoring system is not available. This can have
various causes.
• If the message appears a t the end of the learning phase, 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. •
The system has detected more than 4 wheels in the vehicle, for
example while driving beneath another car with tire pressure moni ­
toring system.
• A tire was changed but the=>
page 45, "Changing a wheel"
procedure was not activated =>
page 45.
• Audi replacement parts were not used.
• If snow chains are being used, system function can be compro ­
m ised due to the shielding properties of the chains.
• The tire pressure monitoring system may not be ava ilable
because of a radio malfunction.
• Transmi tters with the same frequency, such as radio head ­
phones in the vehicle or radio equipment, can cause a temporary
disruption of the system through excessive electromagnetic fields.
• Try to find the cause of the interference, and then perform the
=>
page 45 , "Changing a wheel" procedure one more time . If this not
e liminate the prob lem, contact your authorized Audi dealer for
assistance .
• Do not use commercial ly availab le tire sealants . Otherwise, the
e lec trical components of the tire pressure monitoring system will
no longer work properly and the sensor for the tire pressure moni­
toring system wi ll have to be rep laced by a qua lified workshop .•

General recommendations
Why is your seat adjustment so important?
The safety belts and the airbag system can only provide
ma ximum protection if the front
seats are correctly
a djusted.
There are var ious ways of adjusting the front seats to provide safe
and c omfortable support for the driver and the front passenger.
Adjust your seat properly so that:
• you can easily and quickly reach all the switches and controls in
the instrumen t pa nel
• your body is proper ly supported to reduce physical stress and
f atigue
• the safety belts and airbag system can offe r maximum protec ­
tion=>
page 768.
I n the fo llowing chapters, you wil l see exact ly how you can best
adjust your seats.
There are special regulations and instructions for instal ling a child
safety seat on the front passenger seat. A lways heed the informa ­
tion regarding child safety provided in=>
page 790, "Child Safety".
& WARNING

• Alway s keep your feet on the floo r when the vehi cle is in motion
- never put your feet on top of the in strument panel , out of the
window o r on top of the seat cushio n! This appl ies espe ciall y to
the pa ssenger s. If your seating position i s incorre ct you increase
the ri sk of inju ry in the c ase of sudden br aking or an accident .
If
& WARNIN G (continued )
the airb ag inflate s and the seating position is incorre ct thi s could
r e sult in per sonal injury or even death.
• It is important for both the driver and front p assenger to keep
a distan ce of at least 10 inche s (25 cm) betw een them se lve s and
the steering wheel and /or in strument p anel . If you are sitting any
closer than this , the airbag system cannot protect you properly . In
a ddition to this , the front se ats and head re str aints mu st be
adjusted to your body height so th at they can give you maximum
protection .
• Alway s try to keep as much distan ce as possible between your­
s elf and the steerin g wheel or in strument p anel.
• Do not adjust the driver's or front pas senger seat while the
vehicle is mov ing . You r seat may mo ve unexpect edly , ca usin g
s udden los s of vehicle control and per sonal injury.
If you adjust
your seat while the vehi cle i s moving , you a re out of position .
0 Note
When the front seats are in the reclined position, make certain that
the seatbacks are not pushed against the built -in air deflector *
when you run the sea ts back toward the rear of the vehicle and
when you lower the seatback. This can damage the air deflector and
the latching mecha nis m. •
Driver seat
The correct seat position is importan t for safe and relaxed
drivin g.
We recomme nd tha t yo u adjust the dr iv e r's sea t in the
fol lowing ma nne r:

- Adjust the seat in fore and aft direction so that you can
easily push the pedals to the floor while keeping your
knee slightly bent==>
& in "Why is your seat adjustment
so important?".
- Adjust the seatback so that when you sit with your back against the seatback, you can still grasp the top of the
steering wheel.
- Position the head restraints according to the occupant's
height. For maximum protection, the upper edge of the
head restraints should be at least at eye level, or higher
==>
page 757,fig.156.
& WARNING
Never place any objects in the driver's footwell. An object could
get into the pedal area and interfere with pedal function. In case
of sudden braking or an accident, you would not be able to brake
or accelerate! •
Front passenger seat
Always move the front passenger seat into the rearmost
position.
To avoid contact with the airbag while it is deploying, do not
sit any closer to the instrument panel than necessary and
always wear the three-point safety belt provided adjusted
correctly. We recommend that you adjust the passenger's
seat in the following manner:
- Move the front passenger seat into the rearmost position
of the fore and aft adjustment range ==>
& in "W hy is
your seat adjustment so important?" on
page 92.

will be out of position. Always adjust the driver's or front
passenger seat when the vehicle is not moving.
• Be careful when adjusting the seat height. Check to see that no
one is in the way, or serious injury could result!
• To reduce the risk of injury in the case of sudden braking or
accident, front passengers must never ride in a moving vehicle
with the seatback reclined. Safety belts and the airbag system
only offer maximum protection when the seatback is upright and
the safety belts are properly positioned on the body. The more the
seatback is reclined, the greater the risk of personal injury from an
incorrect seating position and improperly positioned safety
belts! •
