Tire pressure monitoring system
General notes
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a
tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire
pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is significant ly
under -inflated. The TPMS only provides a low tire pressure warning
and does not reinflate your tires.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure tellta le illuminates, you
should stop and check your tires as soon as possib le, and inflate
them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under­
inflated t ire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure .
Under -inflation a lso reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread l ife, and
may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability.
(D Note
• Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire
maintenance, and it is the driver's respons ib ility to maintain correct
tire pressure, even if under -inflation has not reached the level to
trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale .
• Each tire, including the spare, should be checked monthly when
cold and inflated to the inflat ion pressure recommended by the
vehic le manufacturer on the vehicle p lacard or tire inflation pres ­
s u re label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size
indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure labe l, you
should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those
tires.) •
TPMS malfunction indicator
Your vehic le has a lso been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indi­
cator to indicate when the system is not operating proper ly . The
TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure _.,

The various electrical circuits are protected by fuses . The fuses are
clustered in a central ized unit. The unit is located behind the face
panel at the end of the instrument panel.
Two spare fuses and a sticker identifying the fuses are located on
the inside of the fuse box cover.
You are wel l advised to keep a supply of spare fuses in your vehicle .
Fuses with the proper ampere ratings are availab le at your autho­
rized Audi dealer .
& WARNING
Never replace a fuse with one that has a higher amperage rating .
• A fuse with a too high amperage could damage the electrical
part and cause a fire.
0 Note
• On no account should fuses be repaired (e.g. patched up with tin
foil or wire) as this may cause serious damage elsewhere in the elec­
trical circuit or cause fire.
• If a fuse blows repeatedly, do not keep replacing it. Instead, have
the cause for the repeated short circuit or overload tracked and
fixed. •

The power seats are protected by circuit breakers , which automati­
