• 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
e lectrical componen ts of the tire pressure monitoring system* wil l
no longer work properly and the sensor for the tire pressure moni­
toring system * will have to be replaced by a qualified workshop .•
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.

7. Connect the other end of the black jumper cable to the
negative terminal (bolt head)
G) in the external starting
point @of your vehicle.
8. Route the jumper cables so that they cannot catch in any
rotating parts in the engine compartment.
Starting the engine
9. Start the engine of the vehicle providing assistance and
allow it to run at idle.
10. Now start the engine of the vehicle with the discharged
battery , wait for two to three minutes until the engine
"runs" smoothly.
11. If the engine does not start: Stop trying after 10 seconds
and then try again after about 30 seconds.
12. In the vehicle that has received start assistance, turn on
the heater blower and the rear window heating to elimi­
nate any voltage peaks when disconnecting. Driving
lights must be switched off!
13. Disconnect the cable while the engine is running exactly
in
reverse order to that described in=> page 280,
"Connecting/disconnecting the jumper cable.". When
doing so, make sure that the cable cannot contact
rotating engine parts.
14. Close the cover on the posit ive terminal.
The battery is vented to the outside to prevent gases from entering
the vehicle interior. Make sure that the jumper clamps are well
connected with their
metal parts in full contact with the battery
terminals.
& WARNING
To avoid serious personal injury and damage to the vehicle, heed
all warnings and instructions of the jumper cable manufacturer.
If
in doubt, call for road service .
• Jumper cables must be long enough so that the vehicles do not
touch.
• When connecting jumper cables, make sure that they cannot
get caught in any moving parts in the engine compartment.
• Before you check anything in the engine compartment, always
read and heed all WARNINGS=>
page 209, "Engine compartment" .
0 Note
Improper hook-up of jumper cables can ruin the generator.
• Always connect POSITIVE(+) to POSITIVE (+l, and NEGATIVE(-) to
NEGATIVE( -) ground post of the battery manager control unit.
• Check that all screw plugs on the battery cells are screwed in
firmly. If not, tighten plugs prior to connecting clamp on negative
battery terminal.
• Please note that the procedure for connecting a jumper cable as
described above applies specifically to the case of your vehicle
being jump started. When you are giving a jump start to another
vehicle , do
not connect the negative(-) cable to the negative 1-1
terminal on the discharged battery ©-Instead, securely connect
the negative (-1 cable to either a solid metal component that is
firmly bolted to the engine block or to the engine block itself . If the
battery that is being charged does not vent to the outside, escaping
battery gas could ignite and explode! •
