Tire pressure indicator appears
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. 205 Display: underinflation warning
Fig. 206 Display: System malfunction
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
ment cluster with a warning symbol
rD] and a
message
c:> fig . 205.
The tire pressure monitoring system must be
reset via MMI each time the pressures are ad
justed (e.g. when switching between partial
and fu ll load pressure) or after changing or re
placing a tire on your vehicle
c:> page272 . The
TPMS indicator only monitors the tire pres
sure that you have previously stored. You can
find the recommended tire pressures for your
vehicle on the label on driver's side 8-pillar
c:>page247.
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,
Tires and wheels 2 71
- the tire has structural damage,
- the tire pressure was changed, wheels rotat-
ed or replaced but the TPMS was not reset
c:>poge272.
- the spare tire* is mounted .

Check the tire or tires and replace or repair if
necessary. The indicator light

ment cluster also illuminates <=:>

Check/correct the pressures of all four tires
and resetTPMS via MMI.

pressure! System malfunction .
Ifljl appears
after switching the ignition on or while driving
¢
fig. 206 and the indicator light rD] in the in
strument cluster blinks for approximately one
minute and then stays on, there is a system
malfunction. Attempt to store the correct tire
pressure
c:> page 272. If the indicator light
does not turn off or if it turns on shortly
thereafter, immediately drive your vehicle to
an authorized Audi dealer or authorized repair
facility to have the malfunction corrected.
_& WARNING
- If the tire pressure indicator appears in
the instrument cluster display, one or
more of 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 tires and their pressures. In
flate the tire pressure to the proper pres
sure as indicated on the vehicle's tire
pressure label<=:>
page 247 . 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.
.
272 Tires and wheels -Under certain conditions (such as a spor
ty driving style, winter conditions or un
paved roads), the pressure monitor
indicator may be delayed.
- Ask your authorized Audi dealer if run
flat tires may be used on your vehicle.
- The tire pressure monitoring system may
stop working when there is an ESC mal
function.
- 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
c:> page 260. We recom
mend using these tires.
Reset tire pressure monitoring system
If the tire pressure is adjusted, wheels are ro
tated or changed, the TPMS must be reset via
MMI.
• Before storing the new tire pressures, check
that the current pressures on all four tires correspond to the specified values and
adapt the pressures to the current load <=>page 247.
• Switch on the ignition.
• Select in the MMI: !CAR !function button>
(Car)* systems control button > Servicing &
checks > Tire pressure monitoring > Store
tire pressures> Yes, store now.
Do not store the tire pressure if there are
snow chains on the tire. Otherwise, a sys
tem malfunction may occur.
