Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Wheels
On tyres with a directional tread pattern, note
the direction of rotation indicated on the sidewall
¢page 275.
Concealed damage
Damage to tyres and rims is often not readily visi­
ble. If you notice unusual vibrations or the car
pulling to one side, this may indicate that one of
the tyres is damaged. Reduce your speed imme­
diately. Inspect the tyres for damage. If no exter­
nal damage is visible, drive slowly and carefully
to the nearest qualified workshop and have the
car inspected.
A WARNING
Insufficient tread depth or different tread
depths on different wheels reduce safety. This
is particularly evident in vehicle handling,
when there is a risk of aquaplaning in deep
puddles of water and when driving through
corners. Braking is also adversely affected -
risk of accident!

The correct inflation pressures for tyres fitted at
the factory and for the compact temporary spare
wheel* are specified on a sticker. The sticker
¢Fig. 222 is on the end face of the driver's door.

Tyre pressure for the compact temporary
spare wheel*
If you intend to drive the vehicle with a partial
load, adjust the tyre pressures to the specified
setting (D. Should you wish to drive with a full
load, you must increase the tyre pressure to the
specified maximum@ ¢&_.
Checking / adjusting the tyre pressures
"' Check the tyre pressures at least once a month
and, in addition, before starting a long journey.
.. The tyre pressures should only be checked
when the tyres are cold. The slightly raised
pressures of warm tyres must not be reduced.
.. Refer to the sticker ¢ Fig. 222 for the correct
tyre pressures according to the load the vehicle
is carrying.
.. If necessary, adjust the tyre pressure.
.. Vehicles with tyre pressure loss indicator* or
tyre pressure monitoring system*: Store the
new tyre pressures in the infotainment system
¢page 259.
"' Check the pressure of the spare wheel* /com­
pact temporary spare wheel*. Keep the spare
tyre inflated to the highest pressure approved
for the tyre.
A WARNING
Always adjust the tyre pressures to match
your driving style and the load the vehicle is
carrying.
- Excessive loads can cause you to lose control
of the vehicle -risk of accident!
- Under-inflated tyres flex more and can over­
heat at high speeds or when the vehicle is
carrying a heavy load. This could cause a
tyre blow-out and you could lose control of
the vehicle -risk of accident!
- Incorrect tyre pressures increase tyre wear
and adversely affect vehicle braking and
handling -risk of accident!
CD CAUTION
Replace any lost valve caps to prevent dam­
age to the tyre valves.

... Check that the snow chains are correctly seated
after driving for a few yards; follow the instruc­
tions given by the manufacturer.
... Keep your speed below 50 km/h. Please ob-
serve the applicable local regulations.
For technical reasons snow chains may only be
used on tyres with certain wheel rim/tyre combi­
nations.
Rim size Rim offset Tyre size
7Jx17 47 mm 225/50

You must remove the snow chains on roads which
are free of snow; otherwise the vehicle handling
may be impaired and the tyres may be damaged.
A WARNING
Unsuitable or incorrectly mounted snow
chains can cause you to lose control of the ve­
hicle -risk of accident!
CD CAUTION
- Snow chains can damage the rim/hubcap* if
they make direct contact with it. Remove
the hubcaps* beforehand. Use snow chains
which have a protective coating.
- If you use snow chains with links that pro­
trude more than 13.5 mm, this could cause
severe damage to the wheel housings and
other parts of the vehicle.
({D Note
When driving with snow chains, it may help to
switch on sport mode ¢ page 114.
Low-profile tyres
Applies to: vehicles with low-profile tyres
Your vehicle is fitted with low-profile tyres* as
standard equipment. Low-profile tyres have a
lower sidewall and provide a wider tread surface
and rim diameter than other wheel/tyre combi­
nations. This makes the car's handling more
agile. However, the ride may be less comfortable
on poor-quality roads and tracks, and rolling
noise may be louder.
258 Low-profile
tyres can be damaged more quickly
than standard tyres, for example by heavy jolts,
potholes, manhole covers, speed humps and
kerbs. It is therefore particularly important to
ensure that they are inflated to the correct pres­
sure c:>page 256.
Drive with particular care on poor-quality roads
to ensure that you do not damage the rims and
tyres.
Make sure to check your wheels regularly (every
3,000 km) for damage such as blisters/tears on
the tyre sidewalls or deformations/cracks on the
rims.
After a heavy jolt, or if any damage occurs, you
should have the rims and tyres checked and if
necessary replaced by a qualified workshop.
Tyre wear occurs more quickly on low-profile
tyres than on standard tyres.
Summer tyres are not suitable for cold condi­
tions, snow or ice. Use winter or all-season tyres
when driving in these conditions c:::> page 257.
Tyre pressure Loss
indicator
Tyre pressure loss indicator in instrument
cluster
Applies to: vehicles with tyre pressure loss indicator
The tyre pressure Loss indicator in the instrument
cluster informs the driver if the tyre pressure is
too Low or a system malfunction has occurred.
The tyre pressure loss indicator makes use of the
ABS sensors to compare the rolling circumfer­
ence and the vibration of the tyres. If changes in
the inflation pressure are detected on one or
more tyres, the driver is alerted by an indicator
lamp [tE and a message on the infotainment dis­
play. If only one tyre is affected, the display will
indicate its position.
Each time you change a tyre, change the wheels
round or change the tyre pressures on your vehi­
cle (e.g. when switching from partial load to full
load and vice-versa), you must store the new tyre
pressures on the infotainment system
c:::> page 259. Monitoring of the tyre pressures is

on the tyre pressures you have stored. The
inflation pressures recommended for your vehicle
are given on the tyre pressure sticker
¢page 256, Fig. 222.
The rolling circumference and vibration can
change and cause a tyre pressure warning if:
- The inflation pressure in one or more tyres is
too low.
- The tyre has suffered structural damage.
- The wheels were changed or the tyre pressures
were changed and the new tyre pressures were
not stored ¢ page 259.
- You are driving with the temporary spare
wheel*.

ap­
pears and the indicator lamp RE in the instru­
ment cluster display flashes for approx. one mi­
nute and then remains lit after you have switched
on the ignition or while you are driving, there is a
fault in the system. Try to store the correct tyre
pressures ¢ page 259. If the indicator lamp
does not go out or if it comes on again after a
short time, drive to a qualified workshop without
delay and have the fault rectified.
& WARNING
- If the tyre pressure loss indicator appears
on the display, slow down immediately and
avoid any severe braking or steering ma­
noeuvres. As soon as you can do so safely,
stop and check the tyres and the tyre pres­
sures.
- It is the driver's responsibility to ensure that
the tyre pressures are correct. For this rea­
son you must check the tyre pressures regu­
larly.
- Under certain conditions (e.g. driving at
high speeds, on ice and snow or on poor Wheels
road surfaces) the tyre pressure loss indica­
tor may not appear immediately.
- The use of run-flat tyres on your vehicle is
NOT authorised! Unauthorised use can cause
an accident or damage your vehicle.
((D) Note
- If a malfunction occurs in the ESC system,
the tyre pressure loss indicator may also be
out of action.
- When driving with snow chains, a system
malfunction can occur.
- The tyre pressure loss indicator on your Audi
is specially matched to tyres with the mark­
ing "AO"¢ page 254. We recommend that
you use these tyres.
Storing tyre pressure settings
Applies to: vehicles with tyre pressure loss indicator
When you change a tyre or the tyre pressure on
your vehicle, you must confirm the change on the
infotainment system.
.., Before storing the new tyre pressures, check
that the current pressures on all four wheels
correspond to the specified values and adapt
the pressures to the current load ¢ page 255.
.., Switch on the ignition.
.., Select the following on the infotainment sys­
tem: I MENU I button >Car> left control button

Tyre pressure
monitoring system
General notes
Applies to: vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring system
The tyre pressure monitoring system keeps a
check on the tyre pressures of the four road
wheels while you are driving.
The system uses sensors to measure tempera­
tures and pressures in the tyres. The sensors
transmit the data to the control unit by radio.
The tyre pressure monitoring system displays the
current pressures and temperatures of the tyres
on the infotainment system while the vehicle is
moving ¢ page 260. In addition, it compares the
current tyre pressures with the stored tyre pres­
sures and warns you if it detects a discrepancy
¢page 261.
The system cannot check if the stored tyre pres­
sures correspond to the recommended tyre pres­
sures for your vehicle. You must store the new
tyre pressures ¢ page 261:
- after every adjustment to the tyre pressures,
e.g. after changing the laden weight of your ve­
hicle,
- after changing a wheel, or
- when using wheels with new wheel sensors.
.&_ WARNING
- The tyre pressure monitoring system helps
the driver to monitor the tyre pressures.
However, it is always the driver's responsi­
bility to ensure that the tyres are at the cor­
rect pressure.
- Never re-adjust the tyre inflation pressure
when the tyre is hot. This can cause serious
damage to the tyre or even a blow-out,
which could result in an accident.
- Under-inflated tyres flex more than they
should. This causes them to overheat. This
can cause tread separation and tyre blow­
out, which could result in an accident.
- The tyre pressure monitoring system cannot
warn you of tyre damage or defects that
could lead, for example, to a tyre blow-out.
Perform a regular visual check of your tyres.
260 (I))
Note
- The sensors and valves do not have to be de­
tached or changed round when fitting new
tyres. Only the valve core needs to be re­
placed, and if necessary the valve and the
electronic components in the wheel. Please
contact a qualified workshop if you have any
questions.
-After using the tyre repair kit, the tyre pres­
sure monitoring system may malfunction.
Have the sensors renewed by a qualified
workshop.
Displaying tyre pressures and temperatures
Applies to: vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring system
Important: The vehicle must be moving.
.. Select the following on the infotainment sys­
tem: !MENU! button> Servicing & checks >
Tyre pressure loss indicator > Display tyre
pressures.
The current tyre pressures are displayed in green,
yellow or red on the infotainment system:
- Green: The tyre pressure is roughly the same as
the reference value.
- Yellow: The tyre pressure is too low compared
with the reference value.
- Red: The tyre pressure is much too low com-
pared with the reference value.
The reference value is the last stored tyre pres­
sure value ¢ page 261.
Bear in mind that the tyre inflation pressure is al­
so influenced by the temperature of the tyre. The
tyre heats up while the vehicle is being driven
and the tyre pressure will rise accordingly.
.&_ WARNING
Please observe the important safety informa-
tion and notes ¢ page 260.

... Avoid unnecessary braking and steering ma­
noeuvres.
... Adapt your driving style to the prevailing condi­
tions.
... As soon as you can do so safely, stop and check
the tyre(s).
... If it is possible to continue driving, you should
take the vehicle to a qualified workshop and
have the defective tyre(s) repaired or replaced
immediately.
A WARNING
Please observe the important safety informa­
tion and notes ¢page 260. Wheels
Storing new tyre pressures
Applies to: vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring system
To enable the tyre pressure monitoring system
to work reliably, it is important to store the cor­
rect pressure settings.
You should always store the tyre pressures if new
sensors are fitted or after changing the pressures
when carrying a different amount of passengers
or luggage.
... Before storing the new tyre pressures, check
that the current pressures on all four wheels
correspond to the specified values and adapt
the pressures to the current load ¢ page 256,
Fig. 222. Only adjust and store the inflation
pressure of the tyres when they are at approxi­
mately ambient temperature. If the tyre tem­
peratures are higher than the ambient temper­
ature, the inflation pressures should be in­
creased by approx. 0.2 bar above the pressures
specified on the tyre pressure sticker.
... Switch on the ignition.
... Select the following on the infotainment sys­
tem: I MENU I button > Servicing & checks >
Tyre pressure loss indicator > Store tyre pres­
sures > Yes, store now. The tyre pressure moni­
toring system will then measure the current
tyre pressures when you drive the vehicle and
store them as the new reference values .
... If the new tyre pressures do not appear on the
infotainment display, you will need to drive for
about 10 minutes so that the sensor signal
from the wheels can be received again .
During this initialisation phase,--.--will be
shown on the pressure and temperature display
and some functions of the tyre pressure monitor­
ing system will not be available. The system will
warn you only if the pressure of one or more tyres
is below the minimum reference pressure.
If the indicator lamp RE lights up and the mes­
sage Tyre pressure: wheel change detected.
Please check all tyres and store pressures in
MMI appears, the system has detected that the
sensor positions have changed because of a
wheel change or that new sensors have been fit-
ted. Store the new tyre pressures.
