Malfunctions
Appl ies to : vehicles wi th ti re pressure monito rin g system
If the Tire Pressure Monitoring System is not
avai lable, the
mm
indicator light appears in the
driver information system. The
Rt]
indicator light
also blinks for approximately one minutes each
time the ignition is switched on. The tire pressure
monitoring system cannot be selected in the In-
fotainment system. The following are examples
of situations that could cause a malfunction:
- If the message appears at the end of the adap-
tation phase, the system cannot detect the
wheels installed on the vehicle. This may result
from one or more wheels being installed with-
out wheel sensors or with incompatible wheel
sensors.
- A wheel sensor or another component has
failed.
- Using snow chains can affect the function of
the system because of the shield ing effect of
the cha ins.
- The tire pressure monitoring system is not
available due to a malfunction .
- Transmitters with the same frequency, such as
headphones or remote-controlled devices, may
cause a temporary system malfunction due to
the strong electromagnetic field.
The
mm
indicator light turns off once the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System is available again. If
you cannot correct the malfunction and the
mm
234
indicator light stays on, drive immediately to an
authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service
Facility to have the malfunction repaired.
