256 Tire s and wheel s
Description
The tire pressure monitoring system monitors
th e pressure in the four tir es when driving .
The system uses sensors that measure the
temperature and pressure in the tires. Theda
ta is sent from these sensors to the control
module by rad io frequency .
The tire pressure monitoring system shows
the current pressures and temperatures
of the
tires in the Infotainment system
c:> page 256 .
It also compares the current tire pressures
with the sto red press ures and gives a warn ing
in the dr iver information system if the t ire
p ressu re is different from what is sto red
<=:> page 257.
The system does not detect if the sto red ti re
p ressu res matc h the recommended tire pres
sures . Yo u must resave the tire p ress ures
<=:> page 257:
- every time the tire pressures change, for ex
amp le when the load in the veh icle changes,
- after replac ing a tire, or
- i f wheels with new wheel sensors are used .
.,&. WARNING
- The tire pressure mo nitor ing system as
sists t he d rive r in monito ring t ire pres
s ur es. The dr iver is responsible fo r having
the tires in flated t o the co rrec t press ure.
- Do not change t he tire pressu re when the
t empe rat ure of the ti re is high. This
cou ld resul t in ser io us damage to the ti re
and even cause t he tire to burst, increas
ing th e risk of an accident.
- A tire with low pressure flexes more . This
heats the tire up too much. This could
cause the tread to separate and even
cause the tire to burst, increasing the
risk
of a n accident.
- The tire pressure mon itor ing system
does not warn about damage or defects
in the tire construct ion that could ca use
the tire to b urst, for examp le . Inspect
yo ur t ires regularly .
{® For the sake of the environment
Low tire pressure increases fuel consump
tion and tire wear .
(D Tips
- If tires are replaced, the senso rs/valves
do not need to be removed o r replaced.
Just replace the va lve stem and, if neces
sary, the valve and the whee l electronics .
If you have questions, see your a uthor
ized Aud i dea ler o r a qualified workshop .
- Us ing the tire mob ility kit can results in
an incorrect display or a ma lfunction in
t he tire pressure monito ring system .
Have the sensors replaced by an a uthor
ized Aud i dea le r o r a qua lified workshop.

The current tire pressures are shown in green

Note that the tire pressure also depends on
the tempe rature of the tire . Every 50 °F
(10 °C) increase in tire temperature results in
the tire pressure increasing by approximately
0 .1 bar. The tire pressure increases as the en
g ine becomes warmer while drivi ng .

Storing new tire pressures
-
Correctly stored tire pressure specifications
are necessary for reliable tire pressure moni

.. Check t he tire pressures in all wheels.
.,. If necessary, correct the tire pressure ac
cording to the specifications on the sticker
on t he side of the d rive r's door . Only correct
t he pressure in t ires whose temperature is
app rox im ately the s ame as th e amb ient
t emperat ure. If the temperature o f the tire
is highe r than ambient tempe rat ure, the t ire
pressure m ust be increased approximately
0.2 bar above the value on the st icker .

After storing, th e tir e p ress ure

Malfunctions
Fig. 202 Display: indicator light wit h a message
If the tire pressure monitoring system is not
available, the
Ill ind icator light appears in
the dr iver information system. The
RIJ ind ica
tor light also blinks for approximate ly one mi
nutes each time the ignit ion is switched on.
The tire pressure monitoring system cannot be selected in the Infotainment system. The
malfunction could be caused by the following
examples:
- If the message appears at the end of the
adaptation phase, the system cannot detect
the wheels installed on the vehicle. This may
result from one or more wheels being instal
led without wheel sensors or with incompat
ible wheel sensors .
- A wheel sensor or another component has
failed .
- Using snow chains can affect the function of
the system because of the shielding effect
of the chains.
- The tire pressure monitoring system is not
available due to a malfunction.
- Transmitters with the same frequency, such
as headphones or remote-controlled devi
ces, may cause a temporary system mal
function due to the strong electromagnetic
field .
The
Ill indicator light turns off once the tire
pressure monitoring system is available again.
I f you cannot correct the malfunction and the
Ill indicator light stays on, drive to an author
ized Audi dealer or a qualified workshop to
have the malfunct ion corrected.
