Default TPMS ??

I have an 07 S-Line, how do i know if I have TPMS or not?? Also I see some steering wheel info display's that are multi-coloured where's as mine is just plain red! Why is that? Is it part of a different optional package??? Mine is pretty much loaded though.

Tech package has the colored screen. Do you have xenons? If not, no tech package. I have the tech package on my 06 S-Line but I don't think I have TPMS. Weird.

Yes I have the adaptive xenons and bluetooth etc etc but not the coloured screen?? No idea how to check for TPMS.. its easy on my touareg by going through the menu but not the case in the Audi.

Scroll through the menu in the info center and see if there are options for setting the tire pressure or for tire change. I guess the other obvious option would be to let some air out of a tire an see if the warning light comes on.

A quick check is if you have metal valve stems, you have TPMS, if they're rubber, probably not.

Ahh they are rubber, so probably no tpms.
Still other than looking better is there any other function for the coloured dispaly?? Cheers

Function is the same, color display or not. Only thing I've heard is if you have Navi, you get the color display, but not sure if that's true. I have the Navi and color display.

I have Nav, and it is color. But I have everything else also, so may not mean anything.

Click the turn signal stalk button, RESET on the bottom there. A couple clicks should bring up a menu screen. Then use the button on the end of the stalk to scroll, the RESET button is your select button. Under SET, you should find Tyre Pressure if the vehicle is equipped.
For anyone with an 08 that's how you do it. All 2008 and newer cars have TPMS standard. Thanks Ford and Firestone!
