poss ible.
& WARNING
• If the tire pressure indi cator appears in the instrument cluster
display, one or more of your tires is significantly under -inflated.
Reduce your speed immediately and avoid any hard steering or
braking maneuvers . Stop as soon as possible and check the tires
and their pre ssure s. Inflate the tire pre ssure to the proper pre s­
sur e as ind icated on the vehicle's tire pres sure label =>

Vehicle care Do-it-yourselt service iTechnical data

Ill Tires and wheels
-------------------
& WARNING (continued)
overheat and can lead to tire failure . Under-inflation also is likely
to impair the vehicle's handling and stopping ability.
• The driver is responsible for maintaining the correct tire pres·
sures. 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.
• Ask your authorized Audi dealer if run-flat tires may be used on
your vehicle. Your vehicle registration becomes invalid if you use
these tires when not permitted. Damage to your vehicle or acci­
dents could also result.
[ i J Tips
• The tire pressure monitoring system stops working when there is
an ESP/ABS malfunction.
• Using snow chains may resu lt in a system ma lfunction .
• To ensure a proper TPMS function use AUDI Original Tires which
are marked with "AO" or "RO" on the tire sidewall. =>
page 303.
• The tire pressure monitor ing system on your Audi was calibrated
using tires with the "AO" or "RO" identification. We recommend
using these tires.•
Applies to vehicles: with tir e pressure monitoring system
Reset tire pressure monitoring system
If the tire pressure is adjusted, wheels are rotated or
changed, the TPMS must be reset via radio or MMI*.
-Turn on the ignition.
- Select: the [ CAR] function button

W Tips
Before resetting the TPMS, the current pressures of all four t ires
must correspond to the specified values . Adjust the tire pressure and
reset the pressure in the tire pressure monitoring system according
to the load you are carrying=>
