2011 AUDI S8 tires

remain continuously illuminated. This se­
quence will continue upon subsequent vehicle
start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminat­
ed, the system may not be able to detect or
signal low tire pressure as intended . TPMS
malfunct ions may occur for a variety of rea­
sons, including the installation of replace­ ment or alternate tires or wheels on the vehi­
cle that prevent the TPMS from functioning
properly . Always check the TPMS malfunct ion
tellta le after replacing one or more t ires or
wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the re­
placement or alternate tires and wheels allow
the TPMS to continue to function properly.
Tire pressure indicator appears
Applies to vehicles: with tire pressure monitoring system
The tire pressure indicator in the instrument
cluster informs you if the tire pressure is too
low or if there is a system malfunction.
Fig. 189 Display : underinflatio n warning
Fig. 190 Display: System malfu nctio n
Using the ABS sensors, the tire pressure moni­
toring system compares the tire tread circum­
ference and vibration characteristics of the in­
dividual tires . If the pressure decreases in one
or more tires, this is indicated in the instru-

message
r::!) fig. 189.
The tire pressure monitoring system must be
reset via MMI each t ime the pressures are ad ­
justed (e.g. when switching between partial
and full load pressure) or after changing or re­
placing a tire on your vehicle

can find the recommended tire pressures for
your vehicle on the label on driver's side 8-pil­
lar

Tire tread circumference and vibration charac­
teristics can change and cause a tire pressure
warning if:
- the tire pressure in one or more tires is too
low,
- the tire has structural damage,
- the tir e pressure was changed, wheels rotat-
ed or replaced but the TPMS was not reset

tor light
[I) in the instrument cluster blinks
for approximately one minute and then stays
on, there is a system malfunction . See your
authorized Audi dea ler as soon as possible .
A WARNING
-If the tire pressure indicator appears in
the instrument cluster display , one or
more of your tires is significant ly under­
inflated . Reduce your speed immediately
and avoid any hard steering or braking
maneuvers. Stop as soon as possible and
check the tires and their pressures . In­
flate the tire pressure to the proper pres-
sure as indicated on the vehicle's tire .,.

258 Tires and wheels
pressure label~ page 242 . Driving on a
significantly under-inflated tire causes
the tire to overheat and can lead to tire
failure. Under-inflation also is likely to
impair the vehicle's handling and stop­
ping ability.
- The driver is responsible for maintaining
the correct tire pressures. You must
check the tire pressures regularly.
- Under certain cond itions (such as a spor­
ty driving style, winter condit ions or un­
paved roads), the pressure monitor indi­
cator may be delayed.
- Ask your author ized Audi dealer if run­
flat tires may be used on your veh icle.
Your vehicle registration becomes invalid
if you use these tires when not permit­
ted. Damage to your vehicle or accidents
cou ld also result.
(D Tips
- The tire pressure monitoring system
stops working when there is an ESP/ABS
malfunction.
- Using snow chains may result in a system
malfunction.
- To ensure a proper TPMS function use
AUDI Original Tires which are marked
with "AO" or "RO" on the tire sidewall.
~p age 249.
- The tire pressure monitoring system on
your Audi was syntonized using tires with
the "AO" or "RO" identification. We rec­
ommend using these tires.
Reset tire pressure monitoring system
App lies to vehicles: with tire pressure monitoring system
If the tire pressure is adjusted, wheels are ro­
tated or changed, the TPMS must be reset via
MMI .
.. Switch on the ignition .
.. Se lect in the MMI: !CAR !function button>
Car systems contro l button > Servicing &
checks > Tire pressure monitoring > Store
tire pressures > Yes, store now.
(D Tips
Before resetting the TPMS, the current
pressures of all four tires must correspond
to the specif ied values. Adjust the tire
pressure and reset the pressure in the tire
pressure monitoring system according to
the load you are carrying~ page 242.
- Do not store the tire pressures if you are
dr iving with snow chains. Otherwise, a
system malfunction may occur.

and the hub. R emove a ll dirt from these
su rfaces before remo unt ing the wheel.
Tires with unidirectional tread design
Tires with unidirectional tread de sign must be
mounted with their tread pattern pointed in
the right direction.
Using a spare tire with a tread pattern
intended for use in a specific direction
When using a spa re tire w ith a tread patte rn
inte nded for use in a specific direction, please
note t he following:
- T he direction o f rotation is marked by an a r­
r ow on the side of the tire.
- If the spare tire has to be install ed in the in­
correct di rection, use the sp are tire only
temporar ily since the t ire will not be a ble to
achieve its optimum pe rformance character­
ist ics with regard to aquaplaning, noise and
wear.
- We recommend that you pay particular at­
tent ion to this fact during wet weat he r and
t h at you adjust your speed to matc h road
condit ions .
- Replace the flat tire w ith a new one and
have it installed on your ve hicle as soon as
poss ib le to restore the hand ling advantages
of a uni direct io na l ti re .
Notes on wheel changing
Pl ease rea d the information ¢ page 2 49, New
t ires and repl acing tires and wheels
if you are
goi ng to use a s pare t ire which is differen t
from the tires on your ve hicle.
Afte r you cha nge a tire:
- Check the tire pressure on the spare imme­
diately after installation .
- Have the wheel bolt tightening torque
checked with a torque wrench as soon as
possible by your authorized Audi dealer or
a qualified service station .
- With steel and alloy wheel rims, the wheel
bolts are correctly tightened at a torque of
90 ft lb (120 Nm). What do I do now? 267
-
If you notice that the wheel bolts are cor­
roded and difficult to turn while changing
a tire , they should be replaced before you
check the t ightening torque.
- Replace the flat ti re with a new one and
have it installed on your vehicle as soon as
possible. Remount the wheel cover.
Until then , drive with extra care and at re­
duced speeds.
A WARNING
- I f you are g oing to eq uip your vehicle
wit h tires o r rims which differ from those
which were factory installed, then be sure to read the information
¢ pag e 249,

cle.
- Do not use commerc ia lly available t ire
sealants. Othe rwise, the electrical com­

@ Tips
Check carefully to make sure the hook-up
is secure be fore moving the ca r up the flat­
bed tr uck ramp .
Vehicle transport
Whenever you hove your vehicle transported,
be sure to note the following:
(D Note
Mount the tie-down chains/cab les over the
r u nning surface (ci rcumference) o f the
tires. Never secure the vehicle by the axle,
the suspensi on struts or the front or rear
towline eye . For tec hnical reaso ns, the
pressure i n the s uspension struts may
change du ring th e transport and this will
adve rsely affect vehicle handling.
Lifting vehicle
