200 Tires and wheels
remain continuo usly illuminated . This se
quence will continue upon subsequent vehicle
start-ups as long as the ma lfunction ex ists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminat
ed, the system may not be able to detect or
signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS
malfunctions 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 malfunction
tellta le after replacing one or more t ires or
wheels on your veh icle 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.
F ig. 143 Display : underi nflat io n warn ing
Using the ABS sensors, the tire pressure moni
toring sys tem compares the t ire tread circum
ference and vibration characteristics of the in
d iv idual tires . If the pressure decreases in one
or more tires, th is is indicated in the instru
ment clus ter with a warning symbo l
ail and a
message<>
fig. 143. The dr iver message in the
display goes out after 5 seconds . The driver
message can be displayed again by pressing
the
! CHECK I button @¢ page 10, fig . 3 . If on
l y one tire is affected, the display will indicate
its pos ition.
The tire press ure monitoring m ust be reset in
the menu display each time the pressures are
ad justed (e.g. when switching between parti- al and fu
ll load pressure) or after changing or
replacing a tire on your vehicle<>
page 201.
The TPMS indicator only mon itors the t ire
pressure that you have previously stored . You
can find the recommended tire pressures for
your vehicle on the label on the driver's door
pillar
¢ page 185.
Tire tread circumference and vibration charac
teristics can change and cause a tire pressure
warning if:
- the t ire pressure in one or more tires is too
low,
- the tire has structural damage,
- the tire pressure was changed, wheels rotat -
ed or replaced but the TPMS was not reset

At tempt to store the correct tire pressure
¢ page 201. Ifthe indicator light does not
turn
off or if it turns on shortly thereafter, im
med iate ly drive your vehicle to an author ized
Audi dealer or author ized repair facility to
have the malfunction corrected.
_&. WARNING
-
- If the tire pressure indicat or 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 steer ing or braking
maneuvers. Stop as soon as possible and
check the tires and their pressures.
IJJ,,
Inflate the tire pressure to the proper
pressure as indicated on the vehicle's tire
pressure label¢
page 185. 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 mainta ining
the correct tire pressures. You must
check the tire pressures regularly.
- Under certain conditions (such as a spor
ty driving style, wint er conditions or un
paved roads), the pressure monitor indi
cator may be delayed .
- Ask your authorized Audi dealer if run
flat tires may be used on your vehicle.
Your vehicle registration becomes invalid if you use these tires when not permit
ted. Damage to your vehicle or accidents
could also result.
- If you switch between standard and run
flat tires, an authorized Audi dealer or
qualified workshop must reprogram the
control module .
@ Tips
-The tire pressure monitoring system
stops working when there is an ESC/ABS
malfunction.
- Using snow chains may result in a system
malfunction.
- The tire pressure monitoring system on
your Audi was developed using tires with the "AO" or "RO" identification on the
tire sidewall¢
page 192. We recom
mend using these tires.
