Run-flat tires
Introduction
Applies to: vehicles with run-flat tires
A run-flat tire helps to maintain vehicle mobility
when there is a loss of pressure.
Run-flat tires have reinforced sidewalls that pro­
tect the tire if there is a loss of pressure.
If the ti re pressure monitoring system indicates a
l oss of pressure in one or severa l ti res, you can
continue driving on run-flat tires fo r at least 20
miles (30 km). Drive to an authorized A udi dealer
or authorized Audi Serv ice Facility immediately to
have the problem corrected.
Continuing to d rive on run-flat tire s is no
longe r po ssible if
- there is visible damage to the tires, such as
cracks in the sidewalls .
- strong vibrat ions are felt wh ile driving, or the
tire beg ins to smoke due to a strong build-up of
heat .
- the t ire was heavily damaged, for example in an
accident There is a r isk that parts of the tire
tread will detach and damage important veh i­
cle components .
- the Electron ic Stabilization Contro l (ESC) is not
working or is cont inuously running .
