Note that the tire pressure also depends on
the tempe rature of the tire . Every 50 °F
(10 °C) increase in tire temperature results in
the tire pressure increasing by approximately
0 .1 bar. The tire pressure increases as the en
g ine becomes warmer while drivi ng .

Storing new tire pressures
-
Correctly stored tire pressure specifications
are necessary for reliable tire pressure moni
toring .
.. Check t he tire pressures in all wheels.
.,. If necessary, correct the tire pressure ac
cording to the specifications on the sticker
on t he side of the d rive r's door . Only correct
t he pressure in t ires whose temperature is
app rox im ately the s ame as th e amb ient
t emperat ure. If the temperature o f the tire
is highe r than ambient tempe rat ure, the t ire
pressure m ust be increased approximately
0.2 bar above the value on the st icker .
.. Switch on the ignition .
.,. Select:
!CAR ! function butt on> Car systems
> Tire pressure mon itoring > Store tire
pressures .
After storing, th e tir e p ress ure
m oni tor ing system measures the cur ren t
t ire pre ssures and st ores them a s the new
specified press ures .
.. If the changed ti re pressu res a re not dis
played in the Infotainment system, drive t he
veh icle for approximately 10 minutes so
that the sensor signa l from the wheels is re
ceived aga in .
D uring this adaptation phase, ··,·· is displayed
for the pressure and temperature and the t ire
pressure monitoring system is only partially
available . It only provides a warning if one or
more t ire press ures is be low the min imum
permi tted specified pr essure . If this is the
case, the
[I] ind ic a tor light appea rs with a

Malfunctions
Fig. 202 Display: indicator light wit h a message
If the tire pressure monitoring system is not
available, the
Ill ind icator light appears in
the dr iver information system. The
RIJ ind ica
tor light also blinks for approximate ly one mi
nutes each time the ignit ion is switched on.
The tire pressure monitoring system cannot be selected in the Infotainment system. The
malfunction could be caused by the following
examples:
- If the message appears at the end of the
adaptation phase, the system cannot detect
the wheels installed on the vehicle. This may
result from one or more wheels being instal
led without wheel sensors or with incompat
ible wheel sensors .
- A wheel sensor or another component has
failed .
- Using snow chains can affect the function of
the system because of the shielding effect
of the chains.
- The tire pressure monitoring system is not
available due to a malfunction.
- Transmitters with the same frequency, such
as headphones or remote-controlled devi
ces, may cause a temporary system mal
function due to the strong electromagnetic
field .
The
Ill indicator light turns off once the tire
pressure monitoring system is available again.
I f you cannot correct the malfunction and the
Ill indicator light stays on, drive to an author
ized Audi dealer or a qualified workshop to
have the malfunct ion corrected.
