on the tyre pressures you have stored. The
inflation pressures recommended for your vehicle
are given on the tyre pressure sticker
¢page 256, Fig. 222.
The rolling circumference and vibration can
change and cause a tyre pressure warning if:
- The inflation pressure in one or more tyres is
too low.
- The tyre has suffered structural damage.
- The wheels were changed or the tyre pressures
were changed and the new tyre pressures were
not stored ¢ page 259.

ap­
pears and the indicator lamp RE in the instru­
ment cluster display flashes for approx. one mi­
nute and then remains lit after you have switched
on the ignition or while you are driving, there is a
fault in the system. Try to store the correct tyre
pressures ¢ page 259. If the indicator lamp
does not go out or if it comes on again after a
short time, drive to a qualified workshop without
delay and have the fault rectified.
& WARNING
- If the tyre pressure loss indicator appears
on the display, slow down immediately and
avoid any severe braking or steering ma­
noeuvres. As soon as you can do so safely,
stop and check the tyres and the tyre pres­
sures.
- It is the driver's responsibility to ensure that
the tyre pressures are correct. For this rea­
son you must check the tyre pressures regu­
larly.
- Under certain conditions (e.g. driving at
high speeds, on ice and snow or on poor Wheels
road surfaces) the tyre pressure loss indica­
tor may not appear immediately.
- The use of run-flat tyres on your vehicle is
NOT authorised! Unauthorised use can cause
an accident or damage your vehicle.
((D) Note
- If a malfunction occurs in the ESC system,
the tyre pressure loss indicator may also be
out of action.
- When driving with snow chains, a system
malfunction can occur.
- The tyre pressure loss indicator on your Audi
is specially matched to tyres with the mark­
ing "AO"¢ page 254. We recommend that
you use these tyres.
Storing tyre pressure settings
Applies to: vehicles with tyre pressure loss indicator
When you change a tyre or the tyre pressure on
your vehicle, you must confirm the change on the

(1) Loss of tyre pressure
Applies to: vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring system
If the indicator lamp RE appears, the tyre pres­
sure on at least one of the wheels is too low or
new sensors have not yet been initialised.

Wheels with new sensors have not yet been ini­
tialised or the tyre pressure has reached a critical
level compared with the reference value.
... Avoid unnecessary braking and steering ma­
noeuvres.
... Adapt your driving style to the prevailing condi­
tions.
... As soon as you can do so safely, stop and check
the tyre(s).
... If it is possible to continue driving, you should
take the vehicle to a qualified workshop and
have the defective tyre(s) repaired or replaced
immediately.
A WARNING
Please observe the important safety informa­
tion and notes ¢page 260. Wheels
Storing new tyre pressures
Applies to: vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring system
To enable the tyre pressure monitoring system
to work reliably, it is important to store the cor­
rect pressure settings.
You should always store the tyre pressures if new
sensors are fitted or after changing the pressures
when carrying a different amount of passengers
or luggage.
... Before storing the new tyre pressures, check
that the current pressures on all four wheels
correspond to the specified values and adapt
the pressures to the current load ¢ page 256,
Fig. 222. Only adjust and store the inflation
pressure of the tyres when they are at approxi­
mately ambient temperature. If the tyre tem­
peratures are higher than the ambient temper­
ature, the inflation pressures should be in­
creased by approx. 0.2 bar above the pressures
specified on the tyre pressure sticker.
... Switch on the ignition.
... Select the following on the infotainment sys­
tem: I MENU I button > Servicing & checks >
Tyre pressure loss indicator > Store tyre pres­
sures > Yes, store now. The tyre pressure moni­
toring system will then measure the current
tyre pressures when you drive the vehicle and
store them as the new reference values .
... If the new tyre pressures do not appear on the
infotainment display, you will need to drive for
about 10 minutes so that the sensor signal
from the wheels can be received again .
During this initialisation phase,--.--will be
shown on the pressure and temperature display
and some functions of the tyre pressure monitor­
ing system will not be available. The system will
warn you only if the pressure of one or more tyres
is below the minimum reference pressure.
If the indicator lamp RE lights up and the mes­
sage Tyre pressure: wheel change detected.
Please check all tyres and store pressures in
MMI appears, the system has detected that the
sensor positions have changed because of a
wheel change or that new sensors have been fit-
ted. Store the new tyre pressures.

Possible malfunctions
Applies to: vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring system
If the tyre pressure monitoring system is inoper­
ative, the indicator lamp mm will appear in the
instrument cluster display together with the
message Tyre pressure: fault. See owner's man­
ual.
If the indicator lamp mm appears after you have
switched on the ignition or while you are driving
and the indicator lamp[I] flashes for approxi­
mately one minute and then remains lit, there is
a fault in the system. This fault can have the fol­
lowing causes:
- If the display appears at the end of the initiali­
sation process, this means that the system can­
not detect the wheel sensors required to moni­
tor the pressures. This can happen if one or
more of the tyres fitted does not have a sensor
or the sensors are incompatible.
- One of the wheel sensors or another compo­
nent may not be working.
- Snow chains interfere with the signals trans­
mitted by the sensors and can prevent the sys­
tem from functioning properly.
- The tyre pressure monitoring system may be in­
operative due to radio interference.
- Radio systems operating on the same frequen­
cy, such as radio headphones or two-way radios
inside the vehicle, produce strong electromag­
netic fields which cause temporary interfer­
ence.
The indicator lamp mm and the message will
disappear as soon as the tyre pressure monitor­
ing system is available again. If the fault persists
and the indicator lamp mm stays on, you should
drive to a qualified workshop and have the fault
rectified.
