tem measures the current tire pressures and stores them as the new specified pressures.
~ If the changed tire pressures are not displayed
in the Infotainment system, drive the vehicle
for approximately 10 minutes so that the sen­
sor signal from the wheels is received again.
During this adaptation phase, --.·· is displayed
for the pressure and temperature and the tire
pressure monitoring system is only partially
available. It only provides a warning if one or
more tir e pressures is below the minimum per­
mitted specified pressure. If this is the case, the
IE indicator light appears with a message.

Malfunctions
Applies to: vehicles with tire pressure monitoring syste m
-
If the Tire Pressure Monitoring System is not
avai lable, the
mm indicator light appears in the
driver information system. The
IE indicator 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 fol lowing are examples
of situat ions that could cause a malfunction:
-If the message appears at the end of the adap­
tation phase, the system cannot detect the
wheels installed on the vehicle. This may resu lt
from one or more wheels being installed with­
out wheel sensors or with incompatible wheel
sensors.
-A wheel sensor or another component has
failed.
-Using snow cha ins can affect the function of
the system because of the shield ing effect of
the chains .
-The tire pressure monitoring system is not
available due to a malfunction.
-T ransmitters with the same frequency, such as
headphones or remote-control led dev ices, may
cause a temporary system malfunction due to
the strong electromagnetic field.
Wheels
T he m;i indicator light turns off once the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System is available again. If
you cannot correct the ma lfunction and the
m;i
indicator light stays on, drive immediately to an
authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service
