1tE appea rs after sw itching the ign it ion on
or while d rivi ng and the ind icator light
[IJ in
the instrument cluster blinks for approxi­ mately one minute and then stays on, there is

page 259. If the indi­
cator light does not turn off or if it turns on
shortly thereafter, immediately drive your ve­
h icle to an authorized Audi dealer or author­
ized repair facility to have the malfunction
corrected.
.&, WARNING
- If the t ire pressure indicator appears in
the instrument cl uster d isplay, one or
more o f your tires is significantly under­
inflated. Reduce your speed immediately
and avoid any hard steering or braking
maneuvers. Stop as soon as possible and
check the t ires and the ir pressures. In­
flate the tire pressure to the proper pres­
sure as indicated on the vehicle 's t ire
pressure label~
page 234 . Driving on a
significantly under-inflated tire ca uses
the tire to overhea t 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 cond itions (such as a spor ­
ty driving style, winter conditions or un­ paved roads), the pressure monitor indi­
cator may be de layed .
Tire s an d wheel s 259
-Ask your a uthorized Audi dea ler if run­
flat tires may be used on your vehicle.
(D Tips
- The tire pressure mon itoring system may
stop working when there is an ESC ma l­
function.
- Using snow chains may res ult in a system
ma lfunction.
- The tire pressure mon itor ing system on
your Audi was deve loped using tires with
the "AO" or "RO" identification on the
tire s idewall
~ page 248. We recom­
mend us ing these tires.
Reset tire pressure monitoring system
App lies to vehicles: with tire pressure mon itor ing system
If the tire pressure is adjusted, wheels ore ro­
tated or changed, the TPMS must be reset via
radio or MMI*.
... Before storing the new tire pressures, check
that the current pressures on all four tires
correspond to the specified va lues and
adapt the pressures to the current load

Bulbs
Replacing bulbs
For your safety, we recommend that you hove
your authorized Audi dealer replace any bulbs
for you.
It is becoming increasingly more and more
difficult to replace vehicle light bulbs since in
many cases, other parts of the car must first
be removed before you are able to get to the
bulb. This applies especially to the light bulbs
in the front of your car which you can only
reach through the engine compartment .
Sheet metal and bulb holders can have sharp
edges that can cause serious cuts, parts must
be correctly taken apart and then properly put
back together to help prevent breakage of
parts and long term damage from water that
can enter housings that have not been p roper­
l y resea led.
For your safety, we recommend that you have
you r authorized Aud i dea ler replace any bulbs
for you, since yo ur dealer has the proper too ls,
the correct bulbs and the expertise .
Gas discharge lamp s (Xenon lights)*:
Due to the high electr ical voltage, have the
bulbs replaced by a qualif ied techn ic ian.
Headlights wit h Xenon light are identified by
the high voltage sticker.
_&. WARNING
Changing Xenon lamps witho ut the neces­
sa ry equipment can cause serious persona l
injury.
- Bulbs are pressurized and can explode
when being changed. Potential risk of in­
jury!
