Does Forgetting to Press the Audi Air Suspension When Changing Tires Have Any Impact?

Audi air suspension forgetting to press when changing tires has no impact. The following is a related introduction about air suspension: 1. Basic Introduction: A high-quality SUV needs to have the comfort of a sedan while also considering the off-road performance of an SUV. The air suspension system, or air suspension, is the best choice to achieve this goal. The air suspension mainly consists of a control computer, intake port, exhaust port, pneumatic front and rear shock absorbers, and an air distributor. It controls the horizontal posture of the body and adjusts the stability system of the body. 2. Function: Generally speaking, models equipped with air-adjustable suspension will have ground distance sensors near the front and rear wheels. Based on the output signals from the ground distance sensors, the vehicle's computer will determine changes in the body height and then control the air compressor and exhaust valve to automatically compress or extend the springs, thereby lowering or raising the chassis ground clearance to enhance high-speed body stability or the passability on complex road conditions.

I've been driving an Audi Q7 for several years, and the air suspension system is quite sensitive. Forgetting to enter maintenance mode when changing tires can indeed cause issues. Audi's suspension needs to lock its height when being lifted, otherwise the sensors may misjudge the position, causing the air pump to continuously compensate. In the short term, it might not be a big deal, but over time, this can lead to the pump overheating or the air springs leaking. Last time I changed the tires without pressing the maintenance button, the car felt unstable in height and was very bumpy over speed bumps. Later, a check at the dealership revealed an error in the suspension control unit, costing over a thousand yuan to fix. I recommend everyone check the manual before changing tires, hold that maintenance button for a few seconds to avoid unnecessary trouble, and also remind the technician about this during maintenance.

As a DIY enthusiast who has changed tires multiple times, I know Audi's air suspension requires attention to detail. If you forget to press the maintenance button before lifting the car, the suspension won't be disabled. When lowered, the system will auto-adjust height, but improper operation can strain shock absorbers or trigger fault codes. I once encountered this: carelessness during tire change led to suspension warning lights and boat-like wobbling after startup. A quick professional reset fixed it (technician called it minor but time-consuming). Daily tip: always turn off ignition and press the button before lifting – saves hassle and ensures safety.

As a novice driver, I made this mistake when I first bought my Audi A6. If you don't press the maintenance button when changing tires on air suspension, it may cause uneven force distribution during lifting, damaging internal pipes or valves. This can lead to abnormal chassis sensations while driving and affect handling. I didn't pay attention at the time and ended up spending more on repairs. I recommend checking the owner's manual to confirm the correct procedure. If you've already forgotten, visit a service center for inspection as soon as possible to prevent minor issues from becoming major problems.
