forget the spare tire. If the press ure in any tire
is too high when the tire is "cold," let air out
of the tire slowly with the edge of the t ire
gauge and keep checking the pressure until
you reach the pressure that is correct for the
load (passengers and luggage) and kind of
driving you plan to do .
If the pressure in any tire is too low, note the
d ifference between the pressure in the cold
tire and the pressure you need and add the a ir
that you need to reach the correct pressure for
the veh icle load (passengers and luggage) for
the tires on your veh icle as listed on the on
your ve hicle and in this manua l and the kind
of dr iving you p lan to do .
Never exce ed the ma ximum inflation pres ­
s ur e listed on t he tire s idewall for any re a­
s on.
Remember that the vehicle manufacturer , not
the t ire manufacturer , determ ines the correct
tire pressure for the tires on your veh icle .
It is important to check the tire pressure when
the t ires a re cold .
- Read the req uired tire press ure from the tire
pressure label located on driver's s ide B-pil­
l ar .
- Turn the valve stem cap counter-clockwise
to remove it from the tire valve .
- Place the air pressure ga uge on the valve.
- The tire pressures sho uld on ly be checked
and adjusted when the tires are cold . The
s light ly raised pressures of warm tires must
not be reduced.
- Adjust the tire pressure to the load you are
carrying.
- Re insta ll the va lve stem cap on the valve .
When should I check the tire pressure?
The correct tire pressure is espec ially impo r­
tant at high speeds . The pressure sho uld
therefore be checked at least once a month
and a lways befo re starting a journey.
When should I adjust the tire pressures?
Adj ust the tire pressu re to the load you are
carry ing . After changi ng a wheel
or replacing
Tire s an d wheel s 203
whee ls yo u have to adjust the ti re p ressu res
o n all whee ls. In addition, yo u m ust then initi­
a lize the new tire pressu res in the t ire pres­
s u re monitoring system
Q page 214.
A WARNING
Incorrect tire pressures and/or underinfla­
tion can lead sudden tire fa ilure, loss of
control, collision, serio us pe rsonal injury
or even death.
- When the warning symbol
[I] appears in
the instrument cluster, stop and inspect
the t ires.
- Inco rrect tire pressure and/or underinfla­
tion can cause increased tire wea r and
can affect the handling of the vehicle and
stopping ability.
- Inco rrect tire pressures and/or underin­
flation can a lso lead to sudden t ire fail­
ure, including a blowou t and su dden de­
flation, ca using loss of veh icle cont ro l.
- Th e drive r is responsi ble for the correc t
tire pressures for all tires on the veh icle.
The applicable pressure values a re locat ­
ed on a sticke r on the dr iver's side B-pil­
lar.
- On ly when all tires on the vehicle are fil ­
led to the correct pressure, the t ire pres­
sure mon itor ing system can work cor­
rectly.
- The use of incorrect tire pressu re va lues
can lead to acc idents or other damage.
Therefore it is essential that the driver
observe the spec ified t ire pressure values
for the tires and the correct pressures for
the function of th e ti r e p ressu re monito r­
ing system.
- Always inf late tires to the recommended
a nd correct t ire p ress ure before dr iv ing
off.
- Driving with unde rinflated tir es bend
mo re, letting t hem get too hot resulting
in tre ad separation, sudden tire f ailure
and loss of cont rol.
- Exces sive speed and/overloading can
cause he at bu ild- up, sudden tire failure
an d loss of cont rol. •

remain continuous ly illuminated . This se ­
quence will continue upon subsequent vehicle
start-ups as long as the ma lfunction ex ists.
When the malfunct ion indicator is ill uminat­
ed, the system may not be able to detect or
signa l low tire pressure as intended. TPMS
malfunct ions may occur for a variety of rea­
sons, including the installat ion of replace­
ment or alternate tires or wheels on the veh i­
cle that prevent the TPMS from funct io ni ng
properly. Always check the TPMS malfunct ion
tellta le afte r replacing one or more t ires or
wheels on your veh icle to ensure that the re­
p lacement or a lternate 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 indicator in the instrument
cluster informs you if the tire pressure is too
low or if there is a system malfunction.
F ig. 1 47 Disp lay : under infla tion warn ing
Using the ABS sensors, the tire pressure moni ­
toring system compares the t ire tread circum­
fe rence and vibration characteristics of the in­
d iv idual tires . If the pressure decreases in one
or mo re tires, th is is indicated in the instru­
ment clus ter with a warning symbol
RE and a
message
'* fig. 147. The dr iver message in the
d isp lay goes out after 5 seconds. The driver
message can be d isplayed again by pressing
the
! CHECK I button @¢ page 10, fig . 3 . If on ­
ly one tire is affected, the display will indicate
its pos ition.
The ti re pressure monito ring m ust be reset in
the menu display each time the pressures are
ad justed (e.g. when switching between parti-
Tire s an d wheel s 215
al and fu ll load pressure) or after changing o r
replacing a tire on your vehicle '*
page 216.
The TPMS indicator on ly mon itors the t ire
pressure that you have previously stored . You
can f ind the recommended tire pressures for
your vehicle on the label on the driver's door
pillar ¢
page 200.
Tire tread circumference and vibration charac­
teristics can change and cause a tire pressure
warning if:
- the t ire press ure in one or more tires is too
low,
- the tire has structural damage,
- the t ire press ure was changed, wheels rotat -
ed or rep laced but the TPMS was not reset

216 Tires and wheels
Inflate the tire pressure to the proper
pressure as indicated on the vehicle's tire
pressure label¢
page 200. Driving on a
significantly 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 ability .
- The driver is responsible for maintaining
the correct tire pressures. You must
check the tire pressures regularly.
- Under certain conditions (such as a spor­
ty driving style, winter conditions or un­
paved roads), the pressure monitor ind i­
cator may be delayed.
- Ask your authorized Audi dealer if run­
flat tires may be used on your vehicle .
Your vehicle registration becomes invalid
if you use these tires when not permit­
ted. Damage to your veh icle or accidents
could also result.
- If you switch between standard and run­
flat tires, an authorized Audi dealer or
qualified workshop must reprogram the
control module .
@ Tips
-The tire pressure monitoring system
stops working when there is an ESC/ABS
malfunction.
- Using snow chains may result in a system
malfunction .
- The tire pressure monitoring system on
your Audi was developed using t ires with
the "AO" or "RO" identification on the
tire sidewall ¢
page 207. We recom­
mend using these tir es.
Reset tire pressure monitoring system
(Stepl)
Applies to veh icles: w ith tire pressure monitoring system
If the tire pressure is adjusted, wheels are ro­
tated or changed, the TPMS must be reset in
the menu display.

for the cigarette lighter.
~ Switc h on the igni tion.
~ Move the switch @¢ fig. 156 on the e lec­
tric a ir pump
ll to posi tion I. After 5 mi­
nutes, tire pressure must have reached at
least 1.8 bar.
~ Switch the electric a ir pump off - switch in
position
0 . If the requ ired tire pressure of at
least 1.8 bar has not been reached, it is not
poss ible to make a repa ir with the tire seal ­
ant. Seek professional ass istance.
Disassembling Tire Mobility System
~ Remove the hose from the valve and pu ll
the plug out of the socket.
~ Screw the dust cap onto the valve.
~ Place the empty sealant bottle back in the
original packag ing and clip it in place under
the floor so that no tire sealant can run out
into the vehicle.
~ Place the elect ric air pump in the luggage
compartment for the time being.
~ Start driving right away so that the sealant
is distributed in the tire.
A WARNING
-Follow the manufacturer's safety instruc­
t ions on the deca l for the air pump and
the sealant bott le.
- If a t ire pressure of 1.8 bar cannot be
achieved after pump ing for 5 m inutes,
the tire is too severely damaged. Do not
continue to drive .
- Seek profess ional assistance if it is not
poss ible to repair the tire with the tire
sealant.
l ) The e lectr ic air pump s hould never r un for longer than
6 min utes.
What do I do now? 223
(D Tips
-Do not operate the electric air pump for
more than 6 minutes witho ut stopping,
otherwise it can overheat. When the a ir
pump has coo led down, you can continue
to use it.
- If sealant has escaped, allow it to dry,
then you can peel it off.
Final check
App lies to vehicles: wit h Tire Mobility System
After driving for a short distance, tire
pressure must be checked
~ After d riving for about 10 m inutes, stop
and check the tire pressure.
~ If tire pressure is still at leas t 1.3 bar, in­
flate the tire to specified pressure (see driv­
ers side B -pillar), drive to the next repair
shop and have the tire and the sealant bot­
tle replaced.
~ If tire pressure is less than 1.3 bar, the t ire
is too severely damaged. Do not cont inue to
drive . Seek professional assistance.
A WARNING
If t ire pressure is less than 1.3 bar after
driving for 10 minutes, the tire is too se­
ve rely damaged. Do not continue to drive.
Seek professional ass istance .
(D Tips
After a tire repair, have the sealant bottle
replaced at a dealership. This restores full
funct iona lity to the Tire Mobility System.
