Default Question about Tire Pressure Monitor

Hi, I have a 2010 A6 and I have a question about the Tire Pressure Monitoring function on the MMI. Does the system give you a read out of the current tire pressure or it only warns you when tire pressure drop below a certain PSI? I store the correct pressure in the MMI but everytime I go the to Tire Pressure Monitoring menu, it asks me if I want to store the current tire pressure? Does this sounds right? Thank you.

The MMI will not show the actual tire pressure numbers. When it falls below a threshold (or malfunctions) the light will come on and it will beep. It will also illuminate the MIL light.

How do you navigate to the pressure? I've never seen it on mine and I don't think it was in the user manual.

I have a 2010 3.0t and does not give u a read out. You set the tire pressure and it will ask you wether the pressure is as specified by manual, if it is you set it to that and then if there is loss it will go off and warn u.
