- The tire pressure monitoring system
helps the driver to keep an eye on tire
pressures. But the driver st ill has the re-
sponsibility 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 tempera-
ture.
- When tires are replaced, the sensors and
valves should not be exchanged . The
valve core, nut, valve sealing and seal
washer (rep lacement kit) needs to be re-
placed. If necessary, the valve and the
whee l electronics have to be rep laced.
- The tire pressure monitoring system on
your Audi was calibrated us ing tires with
"RO" identification. We recommend us-
ing these tires.
- If you should put different whee ls and
ti res on yo ur vehicle (e.g. w inter wheels
and tires), you must be certain that the
whee ls and tires are compatible with the
tire pressure monitoring system . Other-
wise the system w ill reg ister a ma lfunc-
tion and a fault message will be d is-
played . For more information, contact
your authorized Audi dealer .
