Audi A3 cancels the tire pressure indicator method: Press and hold the SET button with the tire pressure logo on the right side in front of the gear lever. If the tire pressure is normal, the warning light can be eliminated. The tire pressure monitoring system can automatically monitor various conditions of the tires in real time by recording the rotation speed of the tires or electronic sensors installed in the tires, providing effective safety protection for driving. The Audi A3 is a compact car under the Audi brand, available in both hatchback and sedan versions. The hatchback model has a length, width, and height of 4312 mm, 1785 mm, and 1426 mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2629 mm. The sedan version measures 4457 mm in length, 1796 mm in width, and 1417 mm in height, with the same wheelbase of 2629 mm.
I've been driving an Audi A3 for several years and often deal with the tire pressure light issue. The key to canceling the tire pressure indicator is to reset the system: First, ensure all tire pressures meet the standard when the tires are cold, such as around 2.3 bar for the front tires and 2.2 bar for the rear tires. Then, without starting the engine, just power on the vehicle. Next, locate the multifunction button on the left side of the steering wheel, press the 'car' button to enter the menu, select the settings option, and then go into the service or tire submenu. There, you'll find the TPMS reset function—click confirm to save the current pressure. Remember, the light is a warning of insufficient pressure or a leak. If the light goes off after resetting, it's safe, but continued neglect may damage the tires or affect braking distance. I've developed a habit of checking tire pressure monthly with a pressure gauge, which helps prevent many unexpected issues.
The tire pressure warning light on my Audi A3 came on, but the reset procedure is quite simple: First, check and adjust the tire pressure to the recommended value when the tires are cold - the manual suggests between 32-35 psi. Then, sit in the car without pressing the accelerator, turn on the ignition, use the steering wheel control to scroll right into the central console menu, select Vehicle Settings - Tire Pressure Monitoring - Reset. The whole process takes less than 30 seconds, and the light will flash once before turning off to confirm. Don't think it's troublesome - tire pressure issues are the root cause of highway blowouts. I learned this the hard way when I neglected it before, resulting in rapid tire wear and increased fuel consumption. Now I make it a habit to check tire pressure every time I wash my car. Developing this good habit can prevent this warning light from coming on repeatedly.
