How to Clear the Maintenance Reminder on Audi A4L?
3 Answers
Audi A4L maintenance reminder elimination method is to press the CAR button to enter the car settings, select "Maintenance and Inspection" in the settings interface, use the rotary button to select "Maintenance Cycle" under the submenu of "Maintenance and Inspection", press the knob to confirm and enter the next submenu. After entering the "Maintenance Cycle", the first interface will appear. Adjust to the second interface via the rotary knob, and follow the prompts to reset the maintenance cycle. The following are related details: 1. Appearance: The A4L features a stylish and dynamic design with smooth and natural body lines, and its front face design has received high praise. 2. Interior: The interior of the Audi A4L continues the Audi family-style design, with exquisite craftsmanship and high-quality materials. A large number of parts shared with the A6L can be found on the A4L's center console. The slightly driver-oriented black center console and the textured black interior give a cool feeling, as if sitting in a sports car. The Audi A4L's interior leans more towards comfort, with the entire series featuring elegant light gray complemented by imitation wood trim, appearing very steady and sophisticated. 3. Power: The A4L is equipped with two new green high-efficiency engines, featuring advanced technology, sufficient power output, stable starts, and relatively good acceleration performance.
As a long-time Audi owner, I've manually cleared the maintenance reminder several times. First, sit in the driver's seat and close the door, then turn the key to the ignition-on position without starting the engine - the dashboard will light up but the car won't start. Next, press and hold the menu button on the left side of the steering wheel for about five seconds until the service option appears on the screen, then release. Use the volume roller to scroll down to the reset menu, and press the confirm button for three seconds to complete the process. Take your time with this - if you make a mistake midway, just power off and start over. Note that button locations may vary by model year; post-2018 models require pressing the CAR button to enter settings. Just don't force any buttons. After finishing, take a test drive to confirm the warning light has actually disappeared before you're done.
As a technician frequently working with German cars, I recommend clearing the Audi A4L maintenance reminder in three steps. First, turn on the ignition to complete the instrument panel self-test, then simultaneously press and hold the return button on the left side of the steering wheel and the trip button at the end of the wiper stalk for ten seconds. Release when the screen flashes, at which point the instrument will ask if you want to reset. Rotate the knob at the top of the light stalk to select 'Yes'. Two important reminders: Do not perform this operation while driving as it may trigger fault codes; for newer models with virtual cockpits, you'll need to select vehicle settings reset in the MMI system. The most reliable method is to have the dealership reset it directly using the ODIS system after maintenance, as they can also update the vehicle computer data. If doing it yourself, always remember to check the operation diagram on page 87 of the user manual first.
