Parts of the a irbag system are installed at many
d ifferent p laces on your Aud i. Install ing, remov­
i n g, servic ing o r repa iring a part in an area of the
ve hicle can damage a pa rt of an airbag system
and prevent that system from working properly
in a co llision .
There are some important t hings yo u have to
know to make sure th at the effect iveness of the
system wi ll not be impaired and that dis carded
components do not cause injury or pollute the
environment .
A WARNING
Improper care, serv icing and repair proce­
dures can increase the r isk of personal injury
and death by preventing an airbag from de­
ploying when needed or deploying an airbag
unexpectedly:

-Never cover, obstruct, or change the steer­
i ng wheel horn pad or a irbag cover or the in­
strument pa ne l or mod ify them in any way.
-Never attach any objects such as cup holders
o r te lephone mount ings to the surfaces cov­
er ing the ai rbag units.
-For cleaning the horn pad or instrument
pane l, use on ly a soft, dry cloth or one mois­
tened with plain water. Solvents or cleaners cou ld damage the airbag cover or change
the stiffness or st rengt h of the materia l so
t h at the airbag cannot dep loy and protect
properly.
-Never repair, adjust, or change any parts of
the airbag system.
-All work on the stee ring wheel, i nstr ument
pane l, front seats or electrical system (in ­
cluding the installation of audio equipment,

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (SB plus)
ill General notes
Applies to: S8 plus
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
shou ld 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 ind icated on
the veh icle placard or tire inflat ion pressure la­
bel, you should determine the proper tire infla­
tion pressure for those tires).
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been
equipped with a tire pressure mon itor ing system
(TPMS) t hat illuminates a low tire pressure tell­
ta le when o ne or more of your tires is significant­
l y under-inflated. According ly, 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 ­
cant ly 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 ­
ping ability .
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver's re­
spons ibility to maintain correct t ire pressure,
even if under-inflation has not reached the level
to trigge r illumination of the TPM S low t ire pres­
su re te lltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS
malfunction indicator to ind icate when the sys­
tem is not operating prope rly . The TPM S mal­
function indicator is combined with the low t ire
pressure telltale. When the system detects a
malfunction, the telltale will flash for approxi­
mately one minute and then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence wi ll 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 ..,_

u. co .... N
" N .... 0 0 :c ' 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 telltale after replacing 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: 58 plus
The tire pressure monitoring system monitors
the pressure in the four tires when driving.
The system uses sensors that measure the tem ­
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 Infota inment system
c:> page 303 . It also
compa res the current tire pressures with the
stored tire press ures and gives a warning in the
driver information system if the tire pressure is
different from what is stored
c:> page 304.
The system does not detect if the stored tire
pressures match the recommended tire pres­
sures.
- Every time the tire pressures change, for exam-
ple when the load in the vehicle changes,
- after replac ing a tire, or
- if wheels with new wheel sensors are used,
you must store the tire pressures again
c:> page 304.
A WARNING
-The tire pressure mon itor ing system assists
the driver in monitoring tire pressures. The
dr iver is responsible for having the tires in­
flated to the correct pressure.
- Do not change the tire pressure when the
temperature of the tire is extremely high.
T his cou ld result in serious damage to the
t ir e and even cause the tire to burst, in­
creasing the risk of an accide nt.
Wheels
-A tire with low pressure flexes more . This
heats the tire up too much. This could cause
the tread to separate and even cause the
tire to burst, increasing the risk of an acci­
dent.
- The Tire Pressure Monitoring System does
not warn you of damage or defects in the
tire construct ion that could cause the tire to
burst, for example. Inspect your tires regu­
larly.
@ For the sake of the environment
Low tire pressure increases fuel consumption
and tire wear.
(D Tips
-The pressure of the spare t ire* is not mon i­
tored.
- If tires are replaced, the sensors/va lves do
not need to be removed or replaced. Just re­
placed the valve stem and, if necessary, the
valve and the whee l electronics . If you have
questions, see an authorized Audi dealer or
authorized Audi Service Facility.
Displaying tire pressures/temperatures
Applies to: 58 plus
Requirement: the ignition must be switched on.
.. Select: the I CAR! funct ion button > Car systems
> Service & control > Tire pressure monitor >
Display tire pressure .
The current tire pressures are shown in green and
yellow numbers in the Infotainment system:
-Green: the current tire pressure and the spec i­
fied tire pressure are approx imately the same .
-Yellow: the current tire pressure is too low
compared to the specified tire pressure .
The specified tire pressure is the last tire pres ­
sure that was stored
c:> page 304 .
Note that the tire pressure also depends on the
