if
mm appears after switching on the ignition or
while driving and then the
[DJ indicator light in
the instrument cluster also starts to blink for
about one minute and then stays on permanen t
ly, there is a system malfunction. Try to store the
correct tire pressures
<=:> page 262 . If the indica
tor light does turn off or turns on again after a
short period of time, drive to an authorized Audi
dealer or authorized Aud i Serv ice Facility immedi
ately to have the malfunction corrected .
_& WARNING
-If the tire pressure indicator appears in the
display, reduce your speed immediately and
avoid any hard steering or braking maneu
vers. Stop as soon as possible and check the
tires and their pressure.
- The driver is responsible for maintaining the
correct tire pressures. You must check the
tire pressures regularly.
-Under certain conditions (such as a sporty
driving style, winter conditions or unpaved
roads), the pressure monitor indicator may
be delayed .
- Do not use run-flat tires on your vehicle. Us
ing them when not permitted can lead to
vehicle damage or accidents .
(D Tips
- The tire pressure monitoring system can al
so stop working when there is an ESC mal
function.
- Using snow chains may result in a system
malfunction.
- The tires with the identification
"AO"
¢page 251 have been matched with your
Audi tire pressure monitoring system . Using
these tires is recommended.

If the t ire pr essure chang es or a tire is replaced ,
it must be confirmed in the Infotainment sys

.,. Make sure before storing that the tire pressures
of all four tires meet the specified values and
a re adapted to the load

Tire pressure monitoring
system
ill 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 tir e inflation pr essure la
bel, you should 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
( T PMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure tell
tale when one or more of you r 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
cant ly under-inflated t ire causes the tire to over
heat and can lead to tire failur e. Under-inflation
also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life,
and may affect the vehicle's handling and stop-
ping ability.
