2016 AUDI RS7 SPORTBACK service indicator

... N oi '-' ":
running across the tread. Marks
on the tire sidewall (for example "TWI" or other symbols) indicate
the positions of the tread wear in­
dicators.
The tires have reached the mini­ mum tread depth
l ) when they
have worn down to the treadwear
indicators . Replace the tires with
new ones
¢ ,1,. .
Wheel rotation
Rotating the wheels regularly is
recommended to ensure the tires
wear evenly. To rotate wheels, in­
stall the wheels from the rear
axle on the front axle and vice
versa. This will allow the tires to
have approximately the same
length of service life.
For unidirectiona l tires, make
sure the tires are installed accord ­
ing to the running direction indi­
cated on the tire sidewall

Hidden damage
Damage to tires and rims can of ­
ten occur in locations that are hidden. Unusual vibrations in the
vehicle or pulling to one side may
~ l) Obey any applicable regulations in your
~ country . ...
Wheels
indicate that there is tire damage.
Reduce your speed immediately.
Check the tires for damage. If no
damage is visible from the out­
side, drive slowly and carefully to
the nearest authorized Audi deal­
er or authorized Audi Service Fa­
cility to have the vehicle inspect­
ed.
&_ WARNING
-
Tread that has worn too low or
different tread depths on the
tires can reduce driving safety.
This can especially have a nega­ tive effect on handling, on the
risk aquaplaning when driving
through water, when driving
through curves and when brak­ ing, which increases the risk of
an accident.

Wheels
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS
malfunction indicator to indicate when the sys­
tem is not operat ing properly . The TPMS mal­
function indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a
malfunction, the telltale will flash for approxi ­
mately one minute and then remain cont inuously
illum inated . This sequence will continue upon
subsequent veh icle start-ups as long as the ma l­
function ex ists .
When the malfunct io n indicator is illuminated,
the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressu re as intended . TP MS ma lfunctions
may occur for a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate ti res or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS
from functioning properly. A lways check the
TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or
more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure
t hat the replacement or alternate tires and
wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function
properly.
Description
The tire pressure monitoring system monitors
the pressure in the four tires when driving .
The system uses sensors that measure the tem­
perature and pressure in the tires. The data is
sent from these sensors to the control module by
radio frequency .
The tire pressure monitoring system shows the current pressures and temperatures of the tires in the Infotainment system
c.>page 236. It also
compares the current t ire pressures with the
stored tire pressures and gives a warning in the
driver information system if the tire pressure is
d ifferent from what is stored¢
page 237.
The system does not detect if the stored t i re
pressures match the recommended tire pres­
sures. You must resave the tire pressures
c.> page 23 7:
-every time the tir e pressures change, for exam­
ple when the load in the vehicle changes,
- after replac ing a tire, or
- if wheels with new wheel sensors are used .
236
A WARNING ,_
- The tire pressure monitoring system ass ists
the dr iver in monitoring tire pressures. The
driver is responsible for having the tires in­
flated to the correct pressure.
- Do not change the t ire pressure when the
temperature of the tire is high . This could
result in serious damage to the tire and
even cause the tire to burst, increasing the
ris k 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 an acci­
dent .
- The tire pressure monitoring system does
not warn about damage or defects in the
tire construction that could cause the tire to burst, for example. Inspect your t ires regu­
larly.
@ Tips
- If tires are replaced, the sensors/va lves do
not need to be removed or replaced. Just re­
placed the va lve stem and, if necessary, the
valve and the wheel electronics. If you have
questions, see your authorized Audi dealer
or authorized Audi Service Facility.
- An incorrect display or a malfunction in the
tire pressure monitoring system can occur
after using the tire mobility kit. Have the
sensors rep laced by an authorized Audi
dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility.
Display tire pressures/temperatures
Requirement: the ignition must be switched off.
.,. Select: the
I CARI funct ion button > Car systems
> Service & control > Tire pressure monitor >
Display tire pre ssure .
The current tire pressures are shown in green and
yellow numbers in the Infotainment system:
-green: the current tire pressure and the spec i­
fied tire pressure are approx imately the same .
-yellow: the current tire pressure is too low
compared to the spec ified t ire pressure .

The specified tire pressure is the last tire pres­
sure that was stored
¢ page 2 3 7 .
Note that the tire p ressure also depends on the
temperature of the t ire . Every 10 °C increase in
tire temperature results in the tire pressure in ­
creasing by approximate ly 0 .1 bar. The tire pres­
sure increases as the eng ine becomes warmer
while driving.

shown in place of the pressure and tempera­
ture .

Storing new tire pressures
Correctly stored tire pressure specifications are
necessary for reliable tire pressure monitoring.
"' Check the tire pressures in all wheels .
..
"'Cor rect the tire pressure if necessa ry. Refer to
the tire pressure label for the re commended
t ire pressure for your vehicle
c> page 228,
-
fig. 193 . Only correct the pressure in tires
whose temperature is approximately the same
as the ambient temperature. If the tempera­
ture of the tire is higher than ambient tempera­
ture, the tire pressure must be increased ap­
proximately 0 .2 bar above the value on the
sticker .
"' Switch the ignition on .
"' Select:

After storing, the tire pressure monitoring sys­
tem measures the current tire pressures and
stores them as the new specified pressures .
"'If the changed tire pressures are not displayed

for approximately 10 minutes so that the sen­
sor signal from the wheels is received again .
During this adaptation phase, ··.·· is displayed

Malfunctions
Fig . 195 D isp lay: indicator lig ht w ith a message
If the tire p ressure mon itoring system is not
ava ilable,
the m indic a tor light appea rs i n the
d river information system. The
RI] ind icato r light
also blinks for approximately one minutes each
time the ignition is switched on . The tire pressure
monitoring system cannot be selected in the In­
fotainment system. The malfunction could be
caused by the following examples:
- If the message appears at the end of the adap­
tation phase, the system cannot detect the
whee ls installed on the vehicle. This may result
from one o r more wheels being installed with­
out wheel sensors or with incompatible wheel
senso rs.
- A wheel senso r or anot her component has
failed .
- Using snow cha ins can affect the function of
the system because of the shie ld ing effect of
the cha ins.
- The t ire pressure monitoring system is not
available due to a malfunction .
- Transmitters with the same frequency, such as
headphones or remote-controlled devices, may
ca use a temporary system malfu nction due to
the strong e lec trom agne tic field.
The
ffim i ndicator light turns off once the tire
pressure mon itor ing system is available aga in . If
you cannot correct the malfunction and
the m
in dicator light stays on, drive to an author ized
238
Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility to
have the malfunction corrected.
