WARNING
(continued)
•
Do not
adjust
tire pressure when tire temperature is excessive.
This could lead to
serious
tire damage and even cause the tire to
burst, with the additional danger of an accident.
<i'
For the sake of the environment
Driving with under -inflated tires reduces fuel efficiency and tire
tread life.

Tips
•
Each tire should be checked monthly when the temperature of
the tires is about the same as ambient air temperature and set to the
recommended
inflation pressure as specified on the tire pressure
label => page 240.
•
The factory supplied spare wheel is equipped with a sensor
for
the
tire pressure monitoring system *. As long as the spare wheel is
not
mounted,
the
tire pressure of this tire will not be
monitored.
•
The
tire pressure monitoring system
*
helps the driver to keep an
eye on tire pressures. But the driver still
has
the responsibility
for
maintaining
the correct tire pressure.
•
Tire pressure must only be adjusted when the temperature of the
tires is about the same as ambient air temperature.
•
When tires are replaced, the sensors and valves should not be
exchanged
.
The
valve core, nut, valve sealing and seal washer
(replacement kit) needs
to
be replaced. If
necessary, the
valve and
the wheel electronics have to be replaced.
•
If
you should put different wheels and tires on your vehicle (e.g.
winter wheels and tires), you must be certain that the wheels and
tires
are compatible
with the tire pressure
monitoring
system*.
Otherwise the system will register a malfunction
and a fault
message
will
be
displayed. For more
information,
contact your Audi
dealer.
•
Adjust the tire pressure and store the pressure in the tire pres-
sure monitoring
system*
to the
load you are carrying.
