& WARNING
• When the tire pressure monitoring system warning light is lit,
one or more of your tires is significantly underinflated. You should
stop and check your tires as soon as possible , and inflate them to
the proper pressure as indicated on the vehicle's tire pressure
label =>
page 246 . Driving on a significantly underinflated tire
causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Underinfla­
tion also is likely to impair the vehicle's handling and stopping
ability.
• Do not adjust tire pressure when tire temperature is excessive.
This could lead to serious tire damage and even cause the tire to
burst, with the additional danger of an accident.
~ For the sake of the environment
Driving with underinflated tires reduces fuel efficiency and tire
tread life.
[ i] Tips
• Each tire, including the spare , should be checked monthly when
the temperature of the tires is about the same as ambient air
temperature and set to the recommended inflation pressure as
specified on the tire pressure label=> page 246.
• Th e factory supplied spare wheel is equipped with a sensor for
the tire pressure monitoring system. As long as the spare wheel is
not mounted, the tire pressure of this tire will not be monitored.
• The tire pressure monitoring system helps the driver monitor tire
pressures, but the driver is still responsible for maintaining the
correct tire pressure.
• Tir e pressure must only be adjusted when the temperature of the
tires is about the same as ambient air temperature.
• When tires are replaced, the sensors and valves should not be
exchanged. The valve core, nut, valve sealing and seal washer (replacement kit) needs
to be replaced. If necessary, the valve and
the wheel electronics have to be replaced.
• Th e tire pressure monitoring system on your Audi was calibrated
using tires with the "AO" or "RO" identification. We recommend
using these tires.
• 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 register a malfunction and a fault
message will be displayed. For more information, contact your
authorized Audi dealer.
• Adjust the tire pressure and store the pressure in the tire pres­
sure monitoring system to the load you are carrying .

Significant loss of air pressure
The yellow symbol appears in the event of a significant
loss of air pressure.

If the ( 'warn ing l ight in the instrument cluster comes on
and then the symbol appears in the display ==> page
264,
fig. 178, pressure in at least one tire is too low .
- Stop driving as soon as possible w ithout endangering
yourself and other drivers on the road .
- Inspect all tires.
Change the tire if necessary==> page
270.
The _ warning light in the instrument cluster comes on when the
tire is significant ly underinf lated .
In addition, the tire symbol
I appears in the display together with
the message
Pl ease chec k tir e pre ssure=> page 264, fig. 178.
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 ] Tip s
• In the case of an intentiona l loss of air pressure, such as when
readjusting tire pressure, the pressure must be stored again after ­
ward =>
page 265.
• 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 265.
• After changing a wheel or rep lacing 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 266. •

system
In o rder for the tire pressure monitoring system to ope rate
appr opria tely, you have to re-save the specified pressures
whenever you adjust tire pressures, such as when the load
condition of yo ur veh ic le changes . Proceed as follows :
Corr ec ting tir e pressure
- Check the pressure in t he tires .
- Adjust air pressure as needed to comp ly with t he 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 pressur es
- Turn on the ignition .
- Press the button==> fig. 179 for approx imately 5 seconds .
You will hear a beep and the symbol in t he instrume nt
cluster flashes three t imes . ..,.

All pressure warning indicators in the display will be canceled.
Following each intentional 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 ] Tip s
• The tire pressure is shown on the tire pressure label. The tire
pressure label is located either on the driver's side 8 -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, p lease see chapter=>
page 246.
• The tire pressure monitoring system helps the driver monitor t ire
pressures, but the driver is still responsible for mainta ining the
correct tire pressure. •

Wheel change
If a wheel is changed, the wheels that were exchanged
have to be reprogrammed.
- Turn o n the igniti on.
- Press the button=>
page 265, fig. 179 for approximately 5
seco nds . You will he ar a beep and the symbol in the
button flas hes 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 disp lay wil l be canceled . The
system malfunction error message will not disappear until the
vehic le is underway. With pressing the button=>
page 265, fig. 179,
t he reprogramming of the new sensors a nd storing of actua l pres ­
sures starts. This learning phase can take up to 10 minutes driving
time .
During the learning process the tire pressure monitoring system is
no t avai lable. •

Syst em m alfunction
If the I warning l ight in the instrument clus ter flashes for approxi ­
mately one minute and then remains continuously illuminated and
additiona lly the
T M => fig. 180 symbol appears in the display, the
tire pressure monitoring system is not available. This can have
various causes .
• I f 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 whee ls without a whee l sensor were
insta lled. ..,_
