tire pressure AUDI A7 2014 Owner's Manual

262 Tires and wheels
remain continuously illuminated. This se­
quence will continue upon subsequent vehicle
start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is ill uminat­
ed, the system may not be able to detect or
signal low tire pressure as intended . TPMS
malfunctions may occur for a variety of rea­
sons , including the installat ion of replace­
ment or alternate tires or wheels on the vehi­
cle that prevent the TPMS from funct ioning
properly . Always check the TPMS malfunction
tellta le after replacing one or more t ires or
wheels on your veh icle to ensure that the re­
placement or alternate 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 indi cator in the instrument
cluster informs you if the tire pressure is too
low or if there is a system malfunction.
Fig. 205 Display: underi nflatio n warn ing
Fig. 206 Display: System mal functio n
Using the ABS sensors, the tire pressure moni­
toring system compares the t ire tread circum­
ference and vibration characteris tics of the in­
dividual tires. If the pressure decreases in one
or more tires, this is indicated in the i nstru- ment
cluster with a warning symbol
RE and a
message
c:> fig. 205 .
The tire pressure monitoring system must be
reset via MMI each time the p ress ures are ad­
justed (e.g . when switching between partial
and full load pressure) or after changing or re­
plac ing a tire on your vehicle
c:> page 263 . The
TPMS indicator only monitors the tire pres­
sure that you have previously stored. You can
find the recommended tire pressures for your
vehicle on the Label on dr iver's side 8-pillar
<=:>page 247 .
Tire tread circumference and vibrat ion charac­
teristics can change and cause a tire pressure
wa rning if:
- the t ire pressure in one or more tires is too
low,
- the tire has structural damage,
- the tire pressure was changed, wheels rotat -
ed or replaced but the TPMS was not reset

turn off or if it turns on shortly thereafter, im­
mediately drive your vehicle to an author ized
Audi dealer or authorized repair facility to
have the malfunct ion corrected .

A WARNING 1= •
-If the tire pressure indicator appears in
the instrument cluster d isplay, one or
more of your tires is s ignificantly under­
inflated. Reduce your speed immediately
and avoid any hard steering or braking
maneuvers. Stop as soon as possible and
check the tires and their pressures . In­
flate the tire pressure to the proper pres ­
sure as indicated on the vehicle's tire
pressure label¢
page 247. Driving on a
signif icantly 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 abi lity .
- The driver is responsible for ma inta ining
the cor rect t ire 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
c ator 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 inva lid
i f you use these tires when not permit ­
ted. Damage to your vehicle o r acc idents
cou ld also resu lt.
@ Tips
- The t ire pressure monitoring system
stops working when there is an ES C/A BS
malfunction.
- Using snow chains may resul t in a system
malfunction.
- The t ire pressure moni toring sys tem on

Using the spare tire (compact spare tir e)
The compact spare tire is only intended for
emergenc ies until you can reach a repair shop.
Replace it as quick ly as poss ible with a stand­
ard wheel and t ire.
There are some restrict ions on the use of the
compact spare t ire. The compact spare t ire
h as been des igned specifically for you r type of
veh icle. It must not be swapped wi th a com­
pact spare tire from another type of vehicle .
Snow chains
For technica l reasons, the use of snow chains
on the compact spare tire is
not p ermitt ed .
If you do have to dr ive with snow chains and a
front tire fails, mount the spare wheel w ith
tire instead of a rear t ire . Install the snow
What do I do now? 265
chains on the rear tire and use it to rep lace
the defective front tire .
A WARNING
-Never use the spare t ire if it is damaged
or if it is worn down to the tread wear in­
dicators.
- If the spare tire is more than 6 years old,
use it only in an emergency and with ex­
treme caution and careful driv ing.
- The spare tire is intended only for tem­
porary and short-term use . It should be
replaced as soon as poss ible with the
normal wheel and tire .
- After mounting the compact spare t ire,
the t ire pressure must be checked as
soon as possible . The tire pressure of the
compact spare t ire must be 4. 2 bar; oth­
erwise, you risk having an a ccident.
- Do not dr ive faster than SO mph (80 km/
h). You ris k having an accident .
- Avoid full-throttle acceleration, heavy
brak ing, and fast cornering. You risk hav­
ing an accident .
- Never drive using more than one spare
wheel and ti re. You r is k having an acci­
dent.
- Normal summer or winter t ires must not
be mounted on the compact spare wheel
rim.
- For technical reasons, the use of tire
chains on the spa re tire is not permitted .
If i t is necessary to d rive with t ire chains,
the spare wheel must be mounted on the
front ax le in the event of a flat in a rear
tire. The newly available front whee l
must then be insta lled in place of the
rear wheel w ith the flat tire. Installing
the t ire cha in before mounting the whee l
and tire is recommended .
- Loose items in the passenger compart­
ment can cause serious personal injury
during hard brak ing or in an accident.
Never store the inflatable spare tire or
jack and tools in the passenger compart­ ment. •

After changing a wheel
A wheel change is not complete without the doing the following .
• Always store the vehicle tool kit, the jack*
and the replaced tire in the luggage com­
partment
Q page 136.
• Check the tire pressure on the spare wheel
immediately after mou nting it.
• As soon as possible, have the
tightening
torques
on al l wheel bolts checked with a
torque wrench. The correct tightening tor­
que is 90 ft lb (120 Nm).
• Have the flat tire
replaced as soon as possi­
ble.
(D Tips
- If you notice that the wheel bolts are
corroded and difficult to turn wh ile
changing a tire, they should be replaced
before you check the tightening torque.
- Drive at reduced speed until you have the
tightening torques checked .
- After changing a wheel, the tire pressure
i n all four tires must be checked/correct­
ed and the tire pressure mon itor ing indi­
cator must be stored in the MMI
Qpage263 .

Tires with unidirectional tread design
Tires with unidirectional tread design must be
mounted with their tread pattern pointed in
the right direction.
Using a spare tire with a tread pattern
intended for use in a specific direction
When using a spare tire w ith a tread pattern
in tended for use in a specific direction, please
note the following:
- The direction of rotation is marked by an ar­
row on the side of the tire.
- If the spare t ire has to be installed in the in­
correct direction, use the spare tire only
temporarily since the tire will not be able to
achieve its optimum performance character­
istic s with rega rd to aquaplaning, noise and
wear.
- We recommend that you pay particular at­
tention to this fact during wet weather and
that you adjust your speed to match road
conditions.
- Replace the flat tire with a new one and
have it installed on your veh icle as soon as
possib le to restore the handling advantages
of a unid irectiona l tire .
Notes on wheel changing
Please read the information c:> page 254, New
tires and replacing tires and wheels
if you are
going to use a spare t ire which is different
from the tires on your veh icle.
After you change a tire :
-Check the tire pressure on the spare imme­
diately after installation .
- Have the wheel bolt tightening torque
checked with a torque wrench as soon as
possible by your authorized Audi dealer or
a qualified service station.
- With steel and alloy wheel rims, the wheel
bolts are correctly tightened at a torque of
90 ft lb (120 Nm).
- If you notice that the wheel bolts are cor­
roded and difficult to turn while changing
a tire, they should be replaced before you
check the tightening torque. What do I do now? 271
- Replace the flat tire with a new one and
have it installed on your vehicle as soon as
possible. Remount the wheel cover.
Until then , drive with extra care and at re­
duced speeds.
A WARNING
-
- If you are going to equ ip your vehicle
with tires or rims which differ from those
which were factory installed, then be
sure to read the information<=>
page 254,
New tires and replacing tires and
wheels.
- Always make sure the damaged wheel or
even a flat tire and the jack and tool kit
are properly secured in the luggage com­
pa rtment and are not loose in the pas­
senger compartment .
- In an accident or sudden maneuver they
could fly forward, in juring anyone in the
veh icle.
- Always store damaged wheel, jack and
too ls securely in the luggage compa rt­
ment. Otherwise , in an accident or su d­
den maneuver they could fly forward,
causing injury to passengers in the vehi­
