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

an ESP/ABS malfunction.

• 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.•

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=>
