Wheels
~ Adapt your driving style to the situation.
~ Stop as soon as possible and check the tire(s) .
~ If it is possible to continue driving, see an au-
thorized Audi dea ler or authorized Audi Service
Facility immediately and have your tire(s) re­
paired or replaced.
A WARNING
Read and follow the important information
and
notes ~ page 350.
Storing new tire pressures
App lies to: ve hicles w ith tire press ure m on itoring system
Correctly stored tire pressure specifications are
necessary for reliable tire pressure monitoring.
-
It is always necessary to store the tire pressures
when the tire pressures are modified, for exam­ ple due to a change in load. or when new sensors
are installed .
~ Before storing the tire pressures, make sure the
tire pressures of all four tires meet the speci­
fied values and are adapted to the load
~ page 341, fig . 2 78 . Only correct and store
the pressure in tires whose temperature is ap­
prox imat ely the same as the ambient tempera­
ture .
If the temperature of the tire is higher
than the ambient air temperature, the tire
pressure must be increased approximate ly
3 .0 PSI (0 .2 bar) above the va lue on the sticker .
~ Switch the ignition on.
~ Select in the Infotainment system: IMENUI but­
ton
> Vehicle > left control button > Service &
checks > Tire pressure monitoring > Store tire
pressure > Yes, store now .
After storing the
tire pressu res, the t ire pressu re monitoring sys­
tem measures the current pressures wh ile driv­
in g and stores them as the new specified pres­
sures.
~ If the changed tire pressures are not displayed
in the Infotainment system, drive the vehicle
for approximate ly 10 minutes so that the sen­
sor signal from the wheels is received again.
During this adaptation phase, --.-- is displayed
for the pressure and temperature and the tire
pressure mon itor ing system is only partially
ava ilable. It only provides a warning if one or
352 more
tire pressures is below the minimum per­
mitted specified pressure.
If the
[I] ind icator light turns on and the mes­
sage
Tire pressure : wheel change detected .
Please check all tires and store pressures in
MMI also appears, the system has detected that
the position of the sensors has changed because
of a tire rotation, or that new sensors were in­
stalled. Store the new tire pressures.
A WARNING
Read and follow the important information
and notes
~pag e 350.
Malfunctions
Applies to: vehicles with t ire pressure mo nitori ng syste m
If the tire pressure monitoring system is not
available, t he
mm in dicator light appears in the
instr umen t cluste r display along with the mes­
sage
Tire pressure : malfun ction! See owner's
manual.
-
If the ffim ind icator light appears after switch­
in g the ignitio n on or wh ile dr iving and the
[IJ in­
dicator light also blinks for approximately one
minute and then stays on, there is a system ma l­
function . The fo llowing are examples of situa­
tions that could cause a malfunction:
- If the message appears at the end of the adap ­
tation phase, the system may not detect one or
several of the whee l sensors necessary for pres­
sure monitoring. This may res ult from one or
more whee ls being installed without wheel sen­
sors or with incompatible wheel sensors.
- A wheel sensor or another component has
fa iled.
- Using snow chains can affect the function of
the system because of the shielding effect of
the chains.
- The tire pressure monitoring system is not
avai lab le due to a ma lfunction.
- Transmitters with the same frequency, such as
headphones or remote-controlled devices, may
cause a temporary system malfunct ion due to
the strong electromagnetic field.
.,.

Emergency situations
flowing when connecting the positive termi­
nals and the vehicle battery in the vehicle
providing the jump start cou ld be drained.
- Jump start cables can cause considerab le
damage to the vehicle electrical system if
they are connected incorrectly.
- The drained vehicle battery must be con­
nected correctly to the electrical system.
- P lease note that the connecting process de­
scribed below for the jump start cables is in­
tended for when your vehicle is being jump
started. If you are jump starting another ve­
hicle, do not connect the negative cable to
the negat ive terminal( -) on the drained ve­
hicle battery, but rather connect it to a large
metal component that is bolted securely to
the engine block, or to the engine block it­
se lf. If the vehicle battery in the vehicle be­
ing jump started is not vented to the out ­
side, there is a risk of explosion due to hy­
drogen gas.
@ Tips
If a car phone is installed, switch it off or
check the operating guide for what to do in
this situation.
A3 models: starting the engine
Both jump start cables must be connected in the
correct order!

bles that is described next is designed to help
j ump start your vehicle .
Follow the information about the vehicle battery

the selector lever to the P position on
vehicles with an automatic transmission .
3. Turn the ignition and electrical equipment
off in both vehicles.
Connecting/disconnecting the jump start
cable
4. Fold the battery cover upward.
5. Clamp the end of the red jump start cable to
the termina l
(D ¢ fig. 300 on the drained ve­
hicle
battery @Q(D in Preparation on
page
375 .
6. Clamp the other end of the red jump start ca­
ble to the positive terminal @on the vehicle
battery providing the current @.
7. Clamp the black end of the jump start cab le
preferably at the ground point, or on the
negative terminal of the vehicle battery@
on the vehicle providing the current @.
8. Clamp the other end of the black jump start
cable
only to the ground point © on your
vehicle @Q(D .
9. Route the jump start cables so they cannot
get caught in the moving parts in the engine
compartment.
Starting the engine
10. First start the engine in the vehicle giving the
charge and let it run at idle.

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

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.
