A WARNING
- The tire pressure monitoring system assists
the driver in monitoring tire pressures . The
driver is responsible for having the tires in-
flated to the correct pressure.
- Do not change the tire pressure when the
temperature of the tire is extremely high.
This could result in serious damage to the
tire and even cause the tire to burst, in-
creasing the risk of an accident.
- A tire with low pressure flexes more. This
heats the tire up too much. This could cause
the tread to separate and even cause the
tire to burst, increasing the risk of an acci-
dent.
- The tire pressure monitoring system does
not warn about damage or defects in the
tire construction that could cause the tire to
burst, for example . Inspect your tires regu-
larly .
(D Tips
- If tires are replaced, the sensors/valves do
not need to be removed or replaced. Just re-
placed the valve stem and, if necessary, the
valve and the wheel electronics. If you have
questions, see an authorized Audi dealer or
authorized Audi Service Facility .
- An incorrect display or a malfunction in the
tire pressure monitoring system can occur
after using the tire mobility kit . Have the
sensors replaced by an authorized Audi
dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility.
- For an explanation on conformity with the
FCC regulations in the United States and the
Industry Canada regulations, see
r=;,page 386.
Displaying tire pressures/temperatures
Applies to: vehicles with tire pressure mo nito ring system
Requirement: you must be driving the vehicle.
"'Select in the Infotainment system: the
I MENU I
button > Vehicle > left control button > Service
& checks > Tire pressure monitoring > Display
tire pressures.
Wheels
The current tire pressures are shown in green,
yellow or red numbers in the Infotainment sys-
tem:
- Green: the current tire pressure and the speci-
fied tire pressure are approximately the same.
- Yellow: the current tire pressure is too low
compared to the specified tire pressure.
- Red: the current tire pressure is extremely low
compared to the specified tire pressure .
The specified tire pressure is the last tire pres-
sure that was stored
r=;, page 352 .
Note that the tire pressure also depends on the
temperature of the tire. The tire pressure in-
creases as the engine becomes warmer while
driving.
A WARNING
Read and follow the important information
and notes
"*page 350.
(D 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.
ill Tire pressure loss
Applies to: vehicles with t ire pressure mo nito ring system
-
If the [tE indicator light turns on, the pressure in
at least one tire is too low or new sensors were
not adapted:
RE Indicator light turns on after turning the
ignition on
The tire pressure is too low compared to the
specified pressure .
.,. Check and store the tire pressure(s) the next
time it is possible
"*page 352.
RE Indicator light turns on while driving
Wheels with new sensors were not adapted or
the tire pressure has reached a critical level com-
pared to the specified pressure.
