thorized Audi dea ler or authorized Audi Service
Facility immediately and have your tire(s) re
paired or replaced.
A WARNING
Read and follow the important information
and
notes ~ page 350.
Storing new tire pressures
App lies to: ve hicles w ith tire press ure m on itoring system
Correctly stored tire pressure specifications are
necessary for reliable tire pressure monitoring.
-
It is always necessary to store the tire pressures
when the tire pressures are modified, for exam ple due to a change in load. or when new sensors
are installed .
~ Before storing the tire pressures, make sure the
tire pressures of all four tires meet the speci
fied values and are adapted to the load
~ page 341, fig . 2 78 . Only correct and store
the pressure in tires whose temperature is ap
prox imat ely the same as the ambient tempera
ture .
If the temperature of the tire is higher
than the ambient air temperature, the tire
pressure must be increased approximate ly
3 .0 PSI (0 .2 bar) above the va lue on the sticker .
~ Switch the ignition on.
~ Select in the Infotainment system: IMENUI but
ton
> Vehicle > left control button > Service &
checks > Tire pressure monitoring > Store tire
pressure > Yes, store now .
After storing the
tire pressu res, the t ire pressu re monitoring sys
tem measures the current pressures wh ile driv
in g and stores them as the new specified pres
sures.
~ If the changed tire pressures are not displayed
in the Infotainment system, drive the vehicle
for approximate ly 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 mon itor ing system is only partially
ava ilable. It only provides a warning if one or
352 more
tire pressures is below the minimum per
mitted specified pressure.
If the
[I] ind icator light turns on and the mes
sage
Tire pressure : wheel change detected .
Please check all tires and store pressures in
MMI also appears, the system has detected that
the position of the sensors has changed because
of a tire rotation, or that new sensors were in
stalled. Store the new tire pressures.
A WARNING
Read and follow the important information
and notes
~pag e 350.
Malfunctions
Applies to: vehicles with t ire pressure mo nitori ng syste m
If the tire pressure monitoring system is not
available, t he
mm in dicator light appears in the
instr umen t cluste r display along with the mes
sage
Tire pressure : malfun ction! See owner's
manual.
-
If the ffim ind icator light appears after switch
in g the ignitio n on or wh ile dr iving and the
[IJ in
dicator light also blinks for approximately one
minute and then stays on, there is a system ma l
function . The fo llowing are examples of situa
tions that could cause a malfunction:
- If the message appears at the end of the adap
tation phase, the system may not detect one or
several of the whee l sensors necessary for pres
sure monitoring. This may res ult from one or
more whee ls being installed without wheel sen
sors or with incompatible wheel sensors.
- A wheel sensor or another component has
fa iled.
- Using snow chains can affect the function of
the system because of the shielding effect of
the chains.
- The tire pressure monitoring system is not
avai lab le due to a ma lfunction.
- Transmitters with the same frequency, such as
headphones or remote-controlled devices, may
cause a temporary system malfunct ion due to
the strong electromagnetic field.
