2021 AUDI Q8 service indicator

Wheels

The specified tire pressure is the last tire pressure
that was stored > page 278.
Note that the tire pressure also depends on the
temperature of the tire. The tire pressure increas-
es as the engine becomes warmer while driving.

Z\ WARNING
Read and follow the important information
and notes > page 277.
@) Tips
The tire pressure or temperature is not dis-
played while the vehicle is stationary and in
adaptation mode. Dashes --.-- are shown in
place of the pressure and temperature.
OB iw sete ot
Applies to: vehicles with tire pressure monitoring system

If the @ indicator light turns on, the tire pres-
sure is too low compared to the specified pres-
sure. Check and store the tire pressure(s) the
next time it is possible > page 278.
® Flat tire! Safely stop vehicle. Please check all
tires and store pressures in MMI
If the indicator light turns on and the message
appears, the tire pressure has reached a critical
level compared to the specified pressure. Avoid
unnecessary steering and braking maneuvers.
Adapt your driving style to the situation. Stop as
soon as possible and check the tire(s). If it is pos-
sible to continue driving, see an authorized Audi
dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility immedi-
ately and have your tire(s) repaired or replaced.

Z\ WARNING
Read and follow the important information
and notes > page 277.

278
Storing new tire pressures
Applies to: vehicles with tire pressure monitoring system
The tire pressure specifications must be stored
correctly for the tire pressure monitoring system
to function reliably.
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 266, fig. 168. Only correct and store
the pressure in tires whose temperature is ap-
proximately 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 approximately
3 PSI (0,2 bar) above the value on the sticker.
> Switch the ignition on.
> Applies to MMI: Select on the home screen: VE-
HICLE > Settings & Service > Tire pressure
monitoring > Store tire pressure > Yes, store
now.
> If the changed tire pressures are not displayed
on the MMI, drive the vehicle for approximately
10 minutes so that the sensor 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 tire pressures is below the minimum per-
mitted specified pressure.
@ Tire pressure: wheel change detected. Please
check all tires and store pressures in MMI
If the indicator light turns on and the message
appears, the system has detected that the loca-
tion of the sensors has changed due to a wheel
replacement, or new sensors have been installed.
Store the new tire pressures.

ZA WARNING
Read and follow the important information
and notes > page 277.

Applies to: vehicles with tire pressure monitoring system
ia Tire pressure: malfunction! See owner's
manual
If the iis indicator light appears after switching
the ignition on or while driving and the @ indi-
cator light also blinks for approximately one mi-
nute and then stays on, then there is system mal-
function. The following 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 wheel sensors necessary for pres-
sure monitoring. This may result from one or
more wheels without wheel sensors or with in-
compatible wheel sensors being installed.
—Awheel sensor or another component has
failed.
— 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
available due to a malfunction.
— Transmitters with the same frequency, such as
headphones or remote controlled devices, may
cause a temporary system malfunction due to
the strong electromagnetic field.
The ia indicator light and the message turn off
once the tire pressure monitoring system is avail-
able again. If you cannot correct the malfunction
and the iS indicator light stays on, drive imme-
diately to an authorized Audi dealer or author-
ized Audi Service Facility to have the malfunction
repaired.
