reset AUDI A5 COUPE 2013 User Guide

vehicle speed excee ds the set speed by about
3 mph (3 km/h). At the same time, a wa rning
symbo l appears in the d isp lay . The symbol's
appearance might be different in some mod­
e ls.
The speed warning system has two warning thresholds that function independently of
each other and that have somewhat different
pu rposes:
Speed warning 1
You ca n use speed warnin g 1 to set the maxi ­
mum s peed w hile you are driv ing. Th is sett ing
will remain in effect until you t urn off the igni ­
tion, assuming that you have not changed or reset the setting.
The . (USA
models) ;a (Canada models)
speed warning symbol in the warning 1 dis­
p lay appears when you exceed t he maximum
speed. It goes o ut w hen t he speed fa lls below
the stored max imum speed.
The speed warning symbo l wi ll also go out i f
the speed exceeds the stored maximum speed
by more than about 25 mph (40 km/h) for at
least 10 seconds. The stored maximum speed
i s deleted .
Speed warning 2
Storing warn ing 2 is recommended if you al­
ways want to be reminded of a certa in speed ,
for example when you a re traveling in a coun­
try that has a general maximum speed limi t,
or if you do not want to exceed a spec ified
speed fo r winter tires.
The . (USA mode ls)/ . (Canada models)
speed war ning 2 symbo l appea rs in the d is ­
p lay w hen you exceed the stored speed lim it.
Unlike war ning 1, it will not go out u nti l th e
ve hicl e spee d drops be low the stored spee d
limit.

You can also p ress the accelerator pedal down
to increase your speed , e .g. if you want to
pass someone. The speed yo u saved earlier
will resume as soon as you let off of the accel­
erator pedal.
If, however, you exceed your saved speed by
6 mph (10 km/h) for longer than 5 min utes,
the cruise control will be turned off tempora­ rily. The green symbol in the display turns
white . The saved speed remains the same .

250 Tire s and wheel s
When the malfunction indicator is illuminat­
ed, the system may not be able to detect or
signal low t ire pressure as intended. TPMS
malfunctions may occur for a variety of rea­
sons, including the installation of replace­
ment or a lternate tires or wheels on the vehi ­
cle that prevent the TPMS from funct ioning
properly . Always check the TPMS malfunct ion
tellta le afte r replacing one or more t ires or
wheels on your veh icle to ensure that the re­
p lacement or a lternate tires and wheels allow
the TPMS to continue to function properly.
Tire pressure indicator appears
Applies to vehicles: with tire pressure monitoring system
The tire pressure indicator in the instrument
cluster informs you if the tire pressure is too
low or if there is a system malfunction.
N
I
F ig. 181 Display : underinflatio n warning
Using the ABS sensors, the tire pressure moni­
toring system compares the t ire tread circum­
ference and vibration characteristics of the in­
d iv idual tires . If the pressure decreases in one
or more tires, th is is indicated in the instru­
ment cluster w ith a
IE warning symbol and a
message¢
fig. 181 . The driver message in the
display goes out after 5 seconds. The driver
message can be displayed again by pressing
the
! SE T! button. If on ly one tire is affected,
the display will indicate its pos it ion.
The tire pressure monitoring system must be reset via radio or MMI * each time the pres­
sures are adjusted (e. g . when switching be ­
tween partia l and full load pressure) or after
changing or replacing a t ire on your vehicle
¢
page 251 . The TPMS indicator only moni­
tors the tire pressure that you have prev iously stored
. You can find the recommended tire
pressures for yo ur vehicle on the label on driv­
er's side B-pillar ¢
page 235.
Tire tread circumference and vibration charac­
teristics can change and cause a tire pressure
warning if:
- the t ire p ress ure in one or more tires is too
low,
- the t ire has structural damage ,
- the t ire pressure was changed, wheels rotat-
ed or rep laced but the TPMS was not reset
¢ page 251.

If11Nlf:1 appears after switching the ignition
on or while driving and the
IE indicator light
in the instrument cluster blinks for approx i­
mately one minute and then stays on, there is
a system malf unct ion.
Attempt to store the correct tire pressure
¢ page 251. If the indicator light does not
tu rn
off or if it turns on sho rtly the reafter, im ­
med iate ly dr ive you r vehicle to a n author ized
A udi dealer or authorized repair fac ility to
have the malfunction corrected .
A WARNING
=
-If the tire pressure indicator appears in
the instrument cluster display, one or
more of your t ires is sign ificant ly under­
inflated. Reduce your speed immediately
and avoid any hard steer ing or braking
maneuvers. Stop as soon as possib le and
check the tires and their pressures. In­
flate the tire pressu re to the prope r pres­
sure as indicated on the vehicle's tire
pressu re labe l¢
page 235. D riving on a
significantly under-inflated tire causes

the tire to overheat and can lead to tire
failure. Under-inflation also is likely to impair the vehicle's handling and stop­
ping ability .
- The driver is responsible for ma inta ining
the correct tire pressures. You must
check the t ire pressures regularly.
- Under certain cond itions (such as a spor­
ty driving style, w inter condit ions or un­
paved roads), the pressure monitor ind i­
cator may be de layed .
-Ask your author ized Audi dealer if run­
flat tires may be used on your veh icle .
You r vehicle registrat ion becomes invalid
if you use these tires when not permit­
ted. Dam age to your veh icle or a cc iden ts
cou ld also resu lt.
@ Tips
- The t ire pressure monitoring system
stops working when there is an ESC/ABS
malfunction.
- Using snow chains may result in a system
malfunction.
- The t ire pressure monitoring system on
you r Audi was developed using t ires with
the "AO" or "RO" identification on the
tire sidewall¢
page 242. We recom­
mend using these t ires .
Reset tire pressure monitoring system
Applies to vehicles: with tire pressure monitoring system
If the tire pressure is adjusted, wheels are ro ­
tated or changed, the TPMS must be reset via
radio or MMI* .
.,. Before resetting the TPMS, the current p res­
s u res of all four tires must correspond to
the specified val ues . Adjust the tire pressure
and reset the pressure in the tire press ure
monitoring system according to the load
you are carry ing
