• 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 .
• Elimina te the interference if possible/if you can and then
proceed as follows : Turn off the engine for 20 minutes . T hen drive
another
1 0 min. If the warning light comes on aga in, you should
contact your authorized Audi dealer immediately to have the problem corrected .
• Do not use commercially avai lable tire sea lants. Otherwise, the

Run-flat tires
Ap plies to ve hic les : w it h R un -f la t tires
Introduction
Run-flat tires help keep you moving if a tire goes flat.
Re inforced sidewalls give the tires run -flat capability if t ire pressure
is lost .
We recommend that run -flat tires only be mounted on vehicles that
were origina lly equipped with these special tires at the factory and
have a Tire Pressure Monitoring System.
Run-flat tire s can be identified by the letter s "RSC" on the tire side
wa ll.
If you do change the tires on you r vehicle from normal to run -flat
tires , you must buy the special rims required for run -flat tires, and
the Tire Pressure Mon itoring System must be reprogrammed by an
authorized Audi dea ler or other qual ified workshop.
What do run -fl at tires do ?
These specia l tires have run-flat capabilities that help keep you
moving if a tire loses pressure and goes flat. Under favorab le condi -tions tires can be driven
a
t lea st 30 mile s (50 km ), but you must not
drive
fa ster than 50 mph (80 km/h )=> page 259, "Driving with run
flat tires".
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System constant ly checks the air pres
sure in the tires. If the run-flat system is active (shown in the center
display), you must inspect the affected t ire or t ires and then decide
whether to cont inue dr iving. Be sure to fol low these tips
=> page 259, "Driving with run -flat tir es" .
When it is n ot po ssible to c ontinue dri ving, ev en with
run-flat tir es?
• I f the Electronic Stabi lization Program (ESP) is not work ing o r
keeps coming on.
• I f the Tire Pressure Monitoring System does not work.
• I f the tire has been severely damaged, in a crash, for example .
T he t read can separate from a damaged tire as the wheel turns , and
hit parts of the vehicle, such as the fuel tank filler neck, fuel lines or
brake lines.
• Do not con tin ue d riving if severe vibra tion occurs or if the tire
starts to smoke because the tire is running hot.
• Do not conti nue drivi ng if da mage to the tire, such as cracks in
the sidewal l, appears .
& WARNING
Improper use of run -fl at tires can cause ve hic le da mage th at can
le ad to los s of vehicle control , a crash and seriou s personal injury .
• Run-flat t ires can only be used w ith spe cial rims .
• Run -fl at tires must always be monitored with a properly
programmed Tire Pre ssure Monitoring Sy stem.
• Alway s inspect a tire that ha s lo st air to make sure it i s safe to
drive with the tire in the run -flat mode .
• Never dr ive with run -fl at tire s th at have been dam aged in a
colli sion.

& WARNING (continued)
• The engine compartment of any motor vehicle is a potentially
hazardous area. Never reach into the area around or touch the
radiator fan. It is temperature controlled and can switch on
suddenly -even when the engine is off and the ignition key has
been removed. The radiator fan switches on automatically when
the coolant reaches a certain temperature and will continue to run
until the coolant temperature drops .
• Always remove the ignition key before anyone gets under the
vehicle.
• Always support your vehicle with safety stands if it is neces
sary to work underneath the vehicle. The jack supplied with the
vehicle is not adequate for this purpose and could collapse
causing serious personal injury.
• If you must work underneath the vehicle with the wheels on
the ground, always make sure the vehicle is on level ground, that
the wheels are always securely blocked and that the engine
cannot be started .
• Always make sure the transmission selector lever (automatic
transmission) is in "P" (Park position) (automatic transmission) or
Neutral (manual transmission) and the hand brake is firmly
applied.
<£> For the sake of the environment
• Changing the engine settings will adversely affect emission
levels. This is detrimental to the environment and increases fuel
consumption .
• Always observe environmental regulations when disposing of
old engine oil, used brake fluid, dirty engine coolant, spent batteries
or worn out tires.
• Undeployed airbag modules and pretensioners might be classi
fied as Perchlorate Material -special handling may apply, see
www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate . When the vehicle or
parts of the restraint system including airbag modules safety belts
Controls and equip ment Safety first Vehicle operation with pretensioners are scrapped, all applicable laws and regula
tions must be observed. Your authorized Audi dealer is familiar with
these requirements and we recommend that you have your dealer
perform this service for you. •

affect your vehicle's warranty .
• The innovative aluminium concept of your Audi TI means that all
servicing, repairs or other work on the vehicle body must be carried

Technical Modifications
Our guidelines must be complied with when technical
mo difications are made.
Always consult an authorized Audi dealer b efore starting work on
any modifications .
This will help ensure that vehicle function, performance and safety are not impaired ~
&-
Attempting to work on e lectronic components and the software
used with them can cause malfunctions. Because of the way e lec
tronic components are interconnected with each other, such malfunctions can also have an adverse affect on other systems that
are not directly involved. This means that you risk both a substantial
reduction in the operational safety of your vehic
le and an increased
wear of vehicle parts~
&-
Authorized Aud i dealers will perform this work in a professiona l and
competent manner or, in special cases, refer you to a professiona l
company that special izes in such modifications.
