During the learning phase, the tire pressure monitoring system is
not available. •

Malfunctions
A malfunction can have various causes.
Fig. 35 Display:
System malfunction
If the ' warning light in the instrument cluster flashes for approxi -
mately one minute and then remains continuously illuminated and
additional ly the --, - => fig . 35 symbol appears in the display, the
tire pressure monitoring system is not available. This can have
various causes.
• If the message appears at t he end of the learning phase, the
system cannot recognize the wheels installed on the vehicle . This
can be because one or more wheels without a wheel sensor were
installed.
• A wheel sensor or other component may have failed.
• The system has detected more than 4 wheels in the vehicle, for
example while driving beneath another car with tire pressure moni -
toring system.
• A tire was changed but the =>

procedure was not activated =>
page 45.
• Audi replacement parts were not used.
• If snow chains are being used, system function can be compro -
m ised due to the shielding properties of the chains.
• The tire pressure monitoring system may not be available
because of a radio malfunction.
• Transmi tters with the same frequency, such as radio head -
phones in the vehicle or radio equipment, can cause a temporary
disruption of the system through excessive electromagnetic fields.
• Try to find the cause of the interference, and then perform the

page 45, "Changing a wheel" procedure one more time . If this not
eliminate the prob lem, contact your authorized Audi dealer for
assistance .
• Do not use commercial ly availab le tire sealants . Otherwise, the
elect rical components of the tire pressure monitoring system will
no longer work properly and the sensor for the tire pressure moni-
toring system wi ll have to be rep laced by a qua lified workshop . •
