display, reduce your speed immediate ly and
avoid any hard steer ing or braking maneu­
vers. Stop as soon as possib le and check the
t ires and their pressu re.
- The driver is responsib le for maintaining the
correct tire pressure. You must check the
t ire pressure regu larly.
- Under certain conditions (such as a sporty
dr iv ing style, winter cond itions o r unpaved
roads), the tire p ressure mon itoring system
indicator may be delayed.
@ Tips
- The t ire pressure monitoring system can al­

' Storing tire pressures
If the tire pressure changes or a tire is replaced,
it must be confirmed in the Infotainment sys­
tem .
"Make sure before stor ing that the t ire pressures
of all four tires meet the specified values and
are adapted to the load

(D Tips
Do not store the tire pressures if snow chains
are installed .
Run-flat tires
Introduction
Applies to: vehicles with run-flat tires
A run-flat tire helps to maintain vehicle mobility
when there is a loss of pressure.
Run-flat tires have reinforced sidewalls that pro­
tect the tire if there is a loss of pressure.
If the ti re pressure monitoring system indicates a
l oss of pressure in one or severa l ti res, you can
continue driving on run-flat tires fo r at least 20
miles (30 km). Drive to an authorized A udi dealer
or authorized Audi Serv ice Facility immediately to
have the problem corrected.
Continuing to d rive on run-flat tire s is no
longe r po ssible if
- there is visible damage to the tires, such as
cracks in the sidewalls .
- strong vibrat ions are felt wh ile driving, or the
tire beg ins to smoke due to a strong build-up of
heat .
- the t ire was heavily damaged, for example in an
accident There is a r isk that parts of the tire
tread will detach and damage important veh i­
cle components .
- the Electron ic Stabilization Contro l (ESC) is not
working or is cont inuously running .

Emergency assistance
-If a tire pressure of 29 psi (200 kPA) cannot
reached after inflating for 6 minutes, then
the tire is too severely damaged. Do not
continue driving.
- If the tire cannot be repaired with the tire
sealant, see an authorized Audi dealer or au­
thorized Audi Service Facility for ass istance.
(D} Tips
Do not operate the compressor for more than
six minutes continuously, or it can overheat.
Once the compressor has cooled, you can con­
tinue to use it .
Completing
"' Adhere the sticke r that says "max . SO mph
(max. 80 km/h)" that is provided w ith the tir e
mobility kit within the driver's fie ld of vision.
"'S top the vehicle after driving for about 10 mi­
nutes and check the tire pressure .
"' If the tire pressure is lower than 19 psi (130
kPA), then the tire is too severely damaged. Do
not continue driving.
A WARNING
Pay attention to the following after repairing
the tire :
- Do not drive faster than SO mph (80 km/h).
- Avoid hard acceleration, braking sharply, and fast cornering.
- The vehicle may become more difficult to
control.
- If the tire is too severely damaged, see an
authorized Audi dealer or authorized Aud i
Service Facility for assistance .
@ For the sake of the environment
You can give the used tire sealant bottle to an
authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi
Service Facility for disposal.
@ Tips
Remember to obtain a new bottle of sealant
from an authorized Audi dea ler or authorized
Audi Service Facility after repairing a tire.

Replacing a wheel
' Preparation
You must complete the preparation before
changing a tire .
"'Read and follow the important safety precau-
tions¢
page 360.
"' Set the park ing brake.
"' Select the P selector lever posit ion.
"' When towing a trailer: disconnect the trailer
from your vehicle.
"' Lay out the vehicle tool kit¢
page 360 and the
spare tire.
"' Switch on wheel change mode* in the Infotain­
ment system:
! MENUI button> Vehicle> left
control button >
Service & checks > Air suspen­
sion: wheel change.
"'Switch the ignition off.
The vehicle jack mode* switches off automatical­ ly at speeds above 6 mph (10 km/h).
A WARNING
When using the ve hicle jack* on a road with a
steep hill or offroad, you must take extra pre­
cautions to prevent the vehicle from rolling. Use suitable objects to block the front and
back of the wheel that is diagonal from the
wheel with the flat tire.
A WARNING
You or your passengers could be injured while
changing a whee l if you do not follow these
safety precautions:
- If you have a flat tire, move a safe distance
off the road. Turn off the engine, turn the
emergency f lashers on and use other warn­
ing devices to alert other motorists.
- Make sure that passengers wait in a safe
place away from the vehicle and well away
from the road and traffic.
- To help prevent the vehicle from moving
suddenly and possibly slipping off the jack*,
always fully set the parking brake and block
the front and back of the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel being changed. When
one front wheel is lifted off the ground,

(D Tips
-Obey all laws .
- Before changing the wheel, you must acti- vate the jacking mode*, so that the a uto ­
matic controls for the air suspension * do
not make it more diff icu lt to lift the vehicle
with the jack*
