Driving on a
significantly under-inflated tire causes
the t ire to overheat and can lead to tire
fa ilure . Under-inflation also is likely to
impair the vehicle's handling and stop-

- The driver is respons ible 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 indi-
cator may be delayed.
- Ask you r authorized Audi dealer if run-
f lat tires may be used on your vehicle.
Your vehicle registration becomes invalid
if you use these tires when not perm it-
ted. Damage to your vehicle or accidents
could also result.
- If you switch between standard and run-
flat tires, an autho rized Audi dealer or
qualified workshop must reprogram the
