Tire pressure monitoring
system
(.L) General notes
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and inflat ­
ed to the inflation pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or
tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has
tires of a different size than the size indicated on
the vehicle placard or t ire inflation pressure la­
bel, you should determine the proper tire infla­
tion pressure for those tires).
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been
equ ipped w ith a t ire pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure tell­
tale when one or more of your tires is significant­
ly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire
pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and
check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate
them to the proper pressure. Driving on a signifi­
cantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to over­ heat and can lead to tire failure . Under -inflation
also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life,
and may affect the vehicle's handling and stop­
p in g ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver's re­
sponsibility to maintain correct tire pressure,
even if under-inflation has not reached the leve l
to trigger illuminat ion of the TPMS low tire pres­
sure telltale .
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS
malfunct ion indicator to indicate when the sys­
tem is not operating properly. The TPMS mal ­
function indicator is combined with the low tire
pressure telltale. When the system detects a
350
malfunction, the telltale will flash for approxi ­
mately one minute and then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the mal­
function exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated,
the system may not be able to detect or signal
low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions
may occur for a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate tires or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS
from functioning properly. Always check the
TPMS malfunction tel ltale after replac ing one or
more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure
that the replacement or alternate tires and
wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function
properly.
Description
Applies to: vehicles with tire pressure monitoring system
The tire pressure monitoring system monitors
the pressure in the four tires when driving.
The system uses sensors that measure the tema
perature and pressure in the tires. The data is
sent from these sensors to the control module by
radio frequency .
The tire pressure monitoring system shows the
current pressures and temperatures of the tires
in the Infotainment system while driving
¢ page 351. It also compares the current tire
pressures with the stored tire pressures and
gives a warning if the tire pressure is different
from what is stored
¢ page 351.
The system does not detect if the stored tire
pressures match the recommended tire pres ­
sures . You must store the tire pressures again
¢ page 352:
- every time the tire pressures change, for exam ­
ple when the load in the vehicle changes,
- after replacing a tire, or
- if wheels with new wheel sensors are used.

Emergency assistance
-If tire sealant gets in your eyes or on your
skin, thoroughly rinse the affected area im­
mediately with clean water.
-Do not inhale the fumes .
-If you swallow any of the tire sealant, thor-
oughly rinse your mouth immediately and
drink a lot of water. Do not induce vomiting .
Seek medical attention immediately.
-Change your clothes immediately if they get
tire sealant on them.
-If an allergic reaction occurs, seek immedi­
ate medical attention .
-Keep the tire sealant away from children .
-In vehicles with a tire pressure monitoring
system*, using tire sealant can results in an
incorrect display or a system malfunction .
Drive carefully to the nearest authorized
Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facili­
ty.
(D Tips
- If sealant leaks, allow it to dry in place . You
can then peel it off like a sticker .
- Note the expiration date on the sealant bot­
tle . Replace the tire sealant at an author­
ized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service
Facility.
- Radio reception can be interrupted when operating the compressor* .
- Obey all laws.

Installing the tire mobility kit
"" Open the cover @on the compressor
¢fig. 283.
""Remove the connector © and pressure hose ®
with pressure gauge from the housing .
""Insta ll the compressor pressure hose® onto
the flange @ of tire sealant
bottle @.
""Insert the sealant bottle with the flange at the
bottom into the opening ® on the compressor
cover.
"" Remove the valve cap from the faulty tire .
""Install the filler hose (@ onto the valve (J)
¢fig. 284.
"" Connect the plug ©¢ fig. 283 to a socket in
the vehicle .
.,. Switch the ignition on.
Inflating a tire
"" Move the switch @¢ fig. 284 on the compres­
sor into position
I.
"" Inflate the tire to between 29 psi (200 kPA)
and 36 psi (250 kPA) and read the pressure on
the gauge .
""If that tire pressure is not reached, drive your
veh icle approximately 33
ft (10 m) forward or
backward so that the sealant can be redistrib-
uted inside the tire.

Consum er Info rmation
Technical Modifications
Our guidelines must be complied with when tech­
nical modifications are made .
Always consult an authorized Audi dealer before
starting work on any modificat ions.
This will he lp ensure that vehicle function, per ­
formance and safety are not impaired
c> &. .
Attempting to work on e lectronic components
and the software used with them can cause mal­
functions. Because of the way electronic compo ­
nents are interconnected with each other, such
malfunct ions can also have an adverse effect on
other systems that are not directly involved. This
means that you risk both a substantial reduction
in the operational safety of your veh icle and an
i n creased wea r of ve hicle parts
c> ,&. .
Author ized Audi dealers w ill perform this work in
a profess io nal and competent manner or, in spe ­
cial cases, refer you to a p rofessional company
that spec ializes in such modificat ions.
.&_ WARNING
Improper repa irs and modificat ions can
c hange the way veh icle systems work and
c ause damage to the veh icle and ser ious per ­
sonal injury.
(UJ) Note
I f emergency rep air s mus t be pe rformed else ­
where, have the vehicle ex am ined by an a u­
thorized A udi dealer as soon as possib le .
