TPMS on S5

S5 Owners,

Have you figured out how to see what the PSI is on each tire w/ the TPMS?

I cannot for the life of me and don't understand what good the system is if you can't see what the current reading is.

Thanks.

Thanks for the tip smarty.

Already did that weeks ago and it says nothing about reading the actual tire pressure. The MMI allows you to change how the pressure reads, in bars or PSI but you cannot view it. Makes no sense to me...

Your welcome...

I seriously would have figured it was in there, maybe a call to the dealership?

Me too. The manual says at least 4 different times you are responsible to check the pressure yourself but does not say how.

I'm about to call the dealer or AudiUSA...
