has reached an inspection or oi l change interval
or both intervals at the same time, the mes
sage

appears briefly af
ter switching the ignition on/off .
Checking service intervals
You can check the remaining distance or time un
til the next oil change or next inspection in the
Car menu. To do this, select: the
ICARI function
button
> (Car)* Systems control button > Service
& control > Service intervals.
Resetting the indicator
Your authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi
Service Facility will reset the service interval dis
p lay after performing service.
I f you have changed the oil you rself, you must re
set the oil change interval.
To reset the indicator, select: the
ICARI funct ion
button
> (Car)* Systems control button > Service
& control > Service intervals. Turn the contro l
knob downward to
Reset oil change interval and
press the control knob.
@ Note
-Only reset the oil change indicator if the oil
was changed .
- Following the service inte rvals is critical to
maintain ing the service life and va lue of
your vehicle, especially the engine . Even if
the mileage on the vehicle is low, do not ex
ceed the time for the next serv ice.
- Calcu lating the time to the next o il change
i s interrupted when the vehicle battery is
disconnected. If the veh icle is not driven for
a long period of time, check the ma inte
nance schedule so that you can follow the
maintenance intervals.

too much. This increases the risk of an accident because it
can cause the tire to burst and result in loss of vehicle con
trol.
-Incorrect tire pressure in
creases tire wear and has a
negative effect on driving and
braking behavior, which in
creases the risk of an accident .
(D Note
Replace lost valve caps to re
duce the risk of damage to the
tire valves.
Tire pressure table
Please note that the information
contained in the following table
was correct at the time of print ing, and the information is sub
ject to change. If there are differ
ences between this information
and the tire pressures specified
on the label on the driver's side B pillar, always follow the specifica
tion on the B-pillar label

'® For the sake of the environment
Tire pressure that is too low in
creases fuel consumption .
Audi recommends using the
tire pressure specified for a normal load
¢ table on
page 230
or for a full load
when the vehicle is partially
loaded.
Make sure that the tire designa
tion on your tire matches the des ignation on the tire pressure label
and the tire pressure table.
The following table lists recom
mended tire pressures in cold
tires according to the load and
the size of the tires installed . .,.

Wheels
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS
malfunction indicator to indicate when the sys
tem is not operat ing properly . The TPMS mal
function indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a
malfunction, the telltale will flash for approxi
mately one minute and then remain cont inuously
illum inated . This sequence will continue upon
subsequent veh icle start-ups as long as the ma l
function ex ists .
When the malfunct io n indicator is illuminated,
the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressu re as intended . TP MS ma lfunctions
may occur for a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate ti res or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS
from functioning properly. A lways check the
TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or
more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure
t hat the replacement or alternate tires and
wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function
properly.
Description
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 Infotainment system
c.>page 236. It also
compares the current t ire pressures with the
stored tire pressures and gives a warning in the
driver information system if the tire pressure is
d ifferent from what is stored¢
page 237.
The system does not detect if the stored t i re
pressures match the recommended tire pres
sures. You must resave the tire pressures
c.> page 23 7:
-every time the tir e 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 .
236
A WARNING ,_
- The tire pressure monitoring system ass ists
the dr iver in monitoring tire pressures. The
driver is responsible for having the tires in
flated to the correct pressure.
- Do not change the t ire pressure when the
temperature of the tire is high . This could
result in serious damage to the tire and
even cause the tire to burst, increasing the
ris k of an accident.
- 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 about damage or defects in the
tire construction that could cause the tire to burst, for example. Inspect your t ires regu
larly.
@ Tips
- If tires are replaced, the sensors/va lves do
not need to be removed or replaced. Just re
placed the va lve stem and, if necessary, the
valve and the wheel electronics. If you have
questions, see your authorized Audi dealer
or authorized Audi Service Facility.
- An incorrect display or a malfunction in the
tire pressure monitoring system can occur
after using the tire mobility kit. Have the
sensors rep laced by an authorized Audi
dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility.
Display tire pressures/temperatures
Requirement: the ignition must be switched off.
.,. Select: the
I CARI funct ion button > Car systems
> Service & control > Tire pressure monitor >
Display tire pre ssure .
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 spec ified t ire pressure .

The specified tire pressure is the last tire pres
sure that was stored
¢ page 2 3 7 .
Note that the tire p ressure also depends on the
temperature of the t ire . Every 10 °C increase in
tire temperature results in the tire pressure in
creasing by approximate ly 0 .1 bar. The tire pres
sure increases as the eng ine becomes warmer
while driving.
A WARNING
Read and follow the important information
and notes <=>

Storing new tire pressures
Correctly stored tire pressure specifications are
necessary for reliable tire pressure monitoring.
"' Check the tire pressures in all wheels .

"'Cor rect the tire pressure if necessa ry. Refer to
the tire pressure label for the re commended
t ire pressure for your vehicle
c> page 228,
-
fig. 193 . Only correct the pressure in tires
whose temperature is approximately the same
as the ambient temperature. If the tempera
ture of the tire is higher than ambient tempera
ture, the tire pressure must be increased ap
proximately 0 .2 bar above the value on the
sticker .
