I also encountered the maintenance light reset issue when I drove an Audi Q3 before, and it took me quite a while to figure it out. First, turn the key to the off position until the dashboard is completely dark. Then, press and hold the "0.0" button at the bottom right corner of the dashboard without releasing it. Next, turn the key to the on position (without starting the engine), and the dashboard will display a maintenance reset prompt. Continue holding the button for about seven or eight seconds until the screen shows a success message or icon in English. Finally, release the button and start the engine, and the maintenance light will disappear. Note that this method applies to 2015-2020 models, while newer models might require operation through the central control screen menu. Always remember to reset the light after maintenance to avoid forgetting the next service date.

Last year, I helped my cousin reset the maintenance light on her Q3, and the process was actually quite simple. First, turn off the car completely and locate the button with a decimal point on the right side of the instrument panel (the one that displays fuel consumption and mileage). Press and hold it firmly with your fingertip. Then, turn the key to power up the instrument panel without starting the engine. At this point, you'll see a maintenance reset prompt pop up on the screen. Keep holding the button until the countdown ends or the word 'success' appears before releasing it. Finally, start the engine to check if the indicator light is still on. For newer Q3 models with LCD screens, you might need to use the steering wheel buttons to access the vehicle settings menu. By the way, after resetting the maintenance light, it's recommended to drive about 10 kilometers to confirm it doesn't come back on, just to avoid redoing the process.

When my Q3 just had its maintenance, the light was also on. Actually, resetting it is quite simple. First, completely power off the car. Then, press and hold the round button on the right side of the dashboard (marked with 0.0) without releasing it, and then power on the car. When the screen displays 'SET', keep holding the button until the exclamation mark disappears before releasing. The whole process takes about 15 seconds, so don't release the button midway. The button position may vary slightly depending on the model year, just look for a button with dots around the dashboard. It's recommended to perform this operation when the engine is cold, as operating it when hot may cause the dashboard to lag. After resetting, drive a few kilometers to let the system confirm, and you can also check if other dashboard functions are working properly.
