2016 AUDI A5 COUPE stop start

.... N
0 I­co .... .... check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate
them to the proper pressure. Driving on a signifi­
cantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to over­
heat and can lead to t ire failure. Under-inflation
a lso reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life,
and may affect the vehicle 's handling and stop ­
p ing ability .
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver's re­
sponsib ility to ma intain correct tire pressure,
even if under-inflation has not reached the level
to tr igger illum inat ion of the TPMS low tire p res­
sure telltale.
Your veh icle has also bee n eq uipped w ith a TPMS
malfunct ion indicator to indicate when the sys­
tem is not operat ing properly . The TPMS ma l­
function ind icator is combined w ith the low tire
p ressure tellta le. Whe n the system detects a
malfunct ion, the te lltale will flash fo r approx i­
mately one mi nute and then remain continuo usly
illuminated. This sequence will continue upon
subseq uent veh icle start-ups as long as the ma l­
function ex ists .
When t he malfunction indicator is ill uminated,
the system may not be ab le to detect or signal
l ow tire press ure as intended. TPMS ma lf u nctions
may occur for a var iety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate t ires or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS
from functioning properly . Always c heck the
TPMS malfunction telltale afte r rep lacing one o r
mo re t ires o r whee ls on your ve hicl e to e nsur e
th at t he replacement or al tern ate tir es and
wheels a llow the TPMS to con tinue to function
p roperly .

indicator appears
Applies to vehicles: with tire pressure monitor ing system
The tire pressure indicator in th e instrument

or if there is a sys tem malfunction.
Fi g. 17 1 Instrumen t cl uster: indicator lig ht w ith mess age
U sing the ABS sensors, the t ire pressure monito r­
ing system compares the tire tread c ircumfer­
ence and v ibration characterist ics of the ind iv idu ­
al tires. If the press ure changes in one or more
t ir es, th is is indicated in the instrument cluster
display with an indica to r li ght
HE and a message.
If only one tire is affected, the loc ation of tha t
t ir e will be indicated.
T he t ire press ures mus t be stored in the Infota in­
me nt system again each time t he pr essures
c h ange (switching between parti al and full load
pressure) or afte r changing or replac ing a tire on
yo ur vehicle ¢
page 224 . The tire p ressure moni­
toring system on ly monitors the tire pressure you
have stored. Re fer to the t ire pressure label for
the recommended t ire pressure for yo ur vehicle
