,___
-
- If the tire pressure indicator appea rs in the
display, reduce your speed immed iate ly and
avoid any hard steer ing or braking maneu-
vers. Stop as soon as possib le and check the
t ires and their pressure.
- The driver is responsib le for maintaining the
correct tire pressure. You must check the
t ire pressure regu larly.
- Under certa in conditions (such as a sporty
driv ing style, winter cond itions or unpaved
roads), the tire pressure monitoring system
indicator may be delayed.

Tips
- The t ire pressure monitoring system can al-
so stop work ing when there is an ESC mal-
funct ion.
- Using snow chains may result in a system
malfunction .
- The t ire pressure monitoring system in your
Audi was calibrated with "Audi Original
Tires"

We recommend that you
use these t ires.

Storing tire pressures
Applies to: vehicles with Tire Pressure Mon itor ing System in-

If the tire pressure changes or a tire is replaced,
it must be confirmed in the Infotainment sys-
tem.
.,. Make sure before storing that the tire pressures
of all four tires meet the specified values and
are adapted to the load

General notes
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly whe n cold and inflat-
ed to the inflat ion pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer on the veh icle placard or
t ire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has
tires of a different size than the size indicated on
the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure la-
bel, you should determ ine the proper tire infla-
t ion pressure for those tires).
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been
equipped with a tire pressure mon itor ing system
(TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure tell-
ta le when one or more of your tires is signif icant-
ly under-inflated. According ly, when the low t ire
pressure te lltale ill um inates, you should stop and
check your tires as soon as possib le, and inflate
t hem to the prope r pressure. Driving on a sig nifi-
cant ly unde r-inflated t ire causes t he t ire t o over-
heat and can lead t o tire fa ilure. Under-inflat ion
also reduces fue l effic iency and tire tread life,
and may affect the vehicle's handling and stop -
ping ability .
