2 Answers
Method to cancel the maintenance reminder for Audi Q3: First, press the reset button around the odometer, then turn on the ignition. When "SERVICE" appears on the display, release the reset button. Next, press the setting button next to the tachometer to configure. When "SERVICE IN 10000 MI" appears on the display, turn off the ignition to complete the cancellation. The Audi Q3 is an SUV based on the same PQ35 platform as the Volkswagen Tiguan, with dimensions of 4385mm in length, 1831mm in width, and 1608mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2603mm. The Audi Q3 features square-shaped air vents and is equipped with a Bose sound system, 14 speakers, Audi MMI system, GPS navigation, and a 7-inch display. Additionally, the car serves as a wireless hotspot, allowing passengers to access the internet wirelessly.
I've been driving an Audi Q3 for several years and often handle canceling the maintenance reminder myself. The simple method is to manually reset the dashboard counter. Specific steps: First, park the car and turn off the engine, then shut off all power. Next, press and hold the button on the left side of the steering wheel, usually the trip reset button. Then turn the key to the ACC position without starting the engine, and the dashboard will light up. Keep holding the button for a few seconds until the maintenance reminder disappears, and the SERVICE or similar display on the dashboard is gone. After canceling, make sure to get the maintenance done promptly—don’t just clear the reminder, as neglecting maintenance could lead to minor issues. Audi’s system is quite thoughtful, counting mileage or time to remind you of maintenance, and the counter starts fresh after resetting. Ensure the car is stationary and safe when performing this—never do it while driving. The dealership demonstrated this when I first bought the car, and now I’m so familiar with it that I can finish the process in under two minutes each time.
