ability to stop on wet pavement as measured un
der controlled conditions on specified govern
ment test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire
marked
C may have poor traction performance
c) .&..
Tempera ture
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B,
and C, representing the tire's resistance to the
generation of heat and its ability to dissipate
heat when tested under controlled conditions on
a specified indoor laboratory
test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause
the mate
r ial of
the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life,
and excess i
ve temperature can lead to sudden
tire failur e
c) .&..
The grade C corresponds to a leve l of perform
ance which all passenger car tires
must meet un
der
the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
No. 109. Grades Band A represent higher levels
of performance on
the laboratory test wheel than
the minimum required by law.
A WARNING
The traction grade assigned to this tire is
based on straight-ahead braking traction
tests, and does not include acceleration, cor
nering, hydroplaning or peak traction charac
teristics.
&_WARNING
-1
The temperature grade for this tire is estab-
lished for a t
ire that is properly inflated and
not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinfla
tion, or excessive loading, either separately or
in combination, can cause heat buildup and
possible t
ire failure.
&_WARNING
Temperature grades apply to tires that are
properly inflated and not over or under inflat
ed.
Wheel s
Tire pressure monitoring
system
CD General notes
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and inflat
ed to
the inflation pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or
tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has
tires
of a different size than the size indicated on
the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure la
bel, you shou ld determine
the proper tire infla
tion pressure for those tires).
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been
equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure tell
tale when one or more of your tires
is significant
ly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire
pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and
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 tire failure . Under-inflation
also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life,
and may affect
the vehicle's handling and stop
ping ability .
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it
is the driver's re
spo nsibility
to maintain correct tire pressure,
even if under-inflation has
not reached the level
to trigger
illumination of the TPMS low tire pres
sure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS
malfunction indicator to indicate when the sys
tem is not operating 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 continuously
illuminated. This sequence
will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the mal
function exists.
When
the malfunction indicator is illuminated,
the system may not be able to detect or signal
low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions
may occur for a variety of reasons, including
the ""'

installation of replacement or alternate tires or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPM S
from functioning properly. Always check the
TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or
more ti
res or whee ls on your veh icle to ensure
that the replacement or alternate tires and
wheels
allow the TPMS to conti nue to functi on
p roper ly .
If the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
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.
Using the ABS sensors, th e tire p ressure monitor
i n g
system compares the tire tread circumfer
ence and vibra tion char
acteristi cs of the individ u
al tires.
If the pressure changes in one or more
tires,
this i s indicated in the Infotainment system
d isp lay
with an ind icator light RI and a message .
If only one tire is affected , the location of that
tire will be ind icated.
The tire pressures must be stored in the Infotain
ment system again each time the pressu res
change (switching between partial and full load
pressure) or
after changing or replacing a tire on
your veh icle ¢ page 269. The tire pressure moni
toring system only monitors the tire pressure you
have stored. Refe r
to the tire pressure label for
the recommended tire pressure for your veh icl e
¢page260, fig.195.
Tire tread circumference and vibration character
istics
can change and cause a tire pressure warn
i n g if:
-
the tire p ressure in one or more tires is too low.
-
the tire has structural damage .
-
the tire was replaced or the tire pressure was
changed and
it was not stored¢ page 269.

authorized Audi Servi ce Facility immedi
ate ly
to have the ma lfunction corrected .
.&. WARNING
-If the tire pressure indicator appears in the
display, reduce your speed immediately and
avoid any hard steering or brak ing maneu
vers.
Stop as soon as poss ible and check the
tires and
their pressure .
- The driver is responsible
for maintain ing the
correct tire pressures . You must check the
tire pressures regularly .
-
Under certain condit ions (such as a sporty
driving style, wi
nter condit ions or unpaved
roads), the pressure
monitor indica tor may
be delayed.
-
Do not use run-flat tires on your vehicle . Us
ing them when not perm itted can lead to
veh icle damage or accidents.
(D Tips
- The tire pressure monitoring system can al
so stop working when there
is an ESC mal
func tion.
-
Usi ng snow chains may result in a system
ma lfunction .
- The
tires wit h the identification "AO" or
"RO" ¢ page 2 5 7 have been matched with
your Audi tire pressu re monitor ing system .
We rec om mend that you use these tires.
