Where to Set Audi Tire Pressure Monitoring?
1 Answers
Audi tire pressure monitoring is set on the MMI control panel, and the setting method is as follows: Click the MENU button; use the control knob to select the Maintenance and Inspection option; the screen will display a list of options, select the Tire Pressure Monitoring System, then click Store Tire Pressure; choose 'Yes' on the screen to confirm storage. There are three common methods of tire pressure monitoring: Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring: Direct tire pressure monitoring devices use pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure tire pressure. The pressure information is transmitted from inside the tire to a central receiver module via a wireless transmitter, and the data for each tire's pressure is displayed. The system automatically alerts when tire pressure is too low or when there is a leak. Indirect Tire Pressure Monitoring: When the pressure in a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the rolling radius of that wheel to become smaller, leading to a faster rotation speed compared to other wheels. By comparing the rotational speed differences between tires, the system monitors tire pressure. Indirect tire pressure alert systems essentially rely on calculating the rolling radius of tires to monitor pressure. Introduction to Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): TPMS combines the advantages of both the above systems. It equips direct sensors in two diagonally opposite tires and includes a 4-wheel indirect system. Compared to using only direct systems, this hybrid system can reduce costs and overcome the limitation of indirect systems in detecting simultaneous low pressure in multiple tires. However, it still cannot provide real-time data on the actual pressure in all four tires as direct systems do.
