2015 AUDI TT ROADSTER tire pressure reset

remain continuous ly illuminated . This se ­
quence will continue upon subsequent vehicle
start-ups as long as the ma lfunction ex ists.
When the malfunct ion indicator is ill uminat­
ed, the system may not be able to detect or
signa l low tire pressure as intended. TPMS
malfunct ions may occur for a variety of rea­
sons, including the installat ion of replace­
ment or alternate tires or wheels on the veh i­
cle that prevent the TPMS from funct io ni ng
properly. Always check the TPMS malfunct ion
tellta le afte r replacing one or more t ires or
wheels on your veh icle to ensure that the re­
p lacement or a lternate 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. 1 41 Disp lay : under in fla tion warn ing
Using the ABS sensors, the tire pressure moni ­
toring system compares the t ire tread circum­
fe rence and vibration characteristics of the in­
d iv idual tires . If the pressure decreases in one
or mo re tires, th is is indicated in the instru­
ment clus ter with a warning symbol
[I] and a
message
'* fig. 141. The dr iver message in the
d isp lay goes out after 5 seconds . The driver
message can be d isplayed again by pressing
the
! CHECK I button @¢ page 10, fig . 3 . If on ­
ly one tire is affected, the display will indicate
its pos ition.
The ti re pressure monito ring m ust be reset in
the menu display each time the pressures are
ad justed (e.g. when switching between parti-
Tire s an d wheel s 199
al and fu ll load pressure) or after changing o r
replacing a tire on your vehicle '*
page 200.
The TPMS indicator on ly mon itors the t ire
pressure that you have previously stored . You
can f ind the recommended tire pressures for
your vehicle on the label on the driver's door
pillar ¢
page 184 .
Tire tread circumference and vibration charac­
teristics can change and cause a tire pressure
warning if:
- the t ire press ure in one or more tires is too
low,
- the tire has structural damage,
- the t ire press ure was changed, wheels rotat -
ed or rep laced but the TPMS was not reset
¢ page 200.
Warning symbo ls
[I] Loss of press ure in at least one tire'*& .
Check the tire or tires and rep lace or repa ir if
necessary . The indicator light

ment cluster a lso i lluminates

pre ssure! System malfun ction . Ifll appears
after switching the ign it ion on or while dr iving
and the indicator light

have the malfunction corrected .
A WARNING
=
-If the tire pressure indicator appears in
the instrument cluster display, one or
more of your t ires is significant ly under­
inflated. Reduce your speed immediately
and avoid any hard steer ing or b rak ing
maneuvers. Stop as soon as possib le and
check the tires and their pressu res . In­
flate the tire pressure to the prope r pres-
sure as indicated on the vehicle's tire .,..

200 Tires and wheels
pressure label¢ page 184. 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, winter conditions 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 inval id
if you use these tires when not permit­
ted. Damage to your vehicle or accidents
cou ld also resu lt.
- 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 may
stop working when there is an ESC mal ­
funct ion .
- 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" identif ication on the
tire sidewall ¢
page 191. We recom­
mend using these tires.
Reset tire pressure monitoring system
(Stepl)
Applies to vehicles: with tire pressure monitoring system
If the tire pressure is adjusted, wheels are ro­
tated or changed, the TPMS must be reset in
the menu display.

Run-flat ti res
Introduction
Applies to vehicles: with Run -f lat tires
Run-flat tires help keep you moving if a tire
goes flat.
Re inforced sidewalls give the tires run-flat ca­
pability if tire pressure is lost .
We recommend that r un-flat tires on ly be
m ounted on vehicles that were orig inally
equipped with these special tires at t he facto­
ry and have a Tire Pressure Moni toring Sys­
tem .
Run-flat tires can be identified by the letters
"RSC" on the tire sidewall.
If you do change the tires on your veh icle from
norma l to run- flat tires, you must b uy the
special rims required for run-flat tires, and the
T ire Pressure Monitor ing System must be re­
programmed by an authorized Aud i dealer o r
other qualified worksho p .
What do run-fl at tires do?
These special tires have r un-flat capabilities
that help keep you moving if a t ire loses pres­
sure and goes flat . Under favorable conditions
ti res can be dr iven
at least 30 miles (50 km) ,
but you mus t not dr ive faster than 50 mph Ill-
