Audi S3 maintenance light reset method: 1. Press and hold the button next to the odometer, turn ignition switch ON; 2. SERVICE or SERVICEIN will appear on the LCD display; 3. Release the button, press the button on the left side of the instrument panel (near the tachometer) to reset the display, and SERVICEIN10000MI will appear on the LCD; 4. Turn ignition switch to OFF position. For interior features, the Audi S3 comes with a three-spoke sport steering wheel, gray-white dashboard needles, combined with all-black interior, giving the new car's cabin a thoroughly sporty style.
I drove an Audi S3 for quite a while, and the maintenance light coming on was pretty common. It's not too difficult to reset. First, turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine—just make sure the dashboard lights up. Then, use the multifunction buttons on the steering wheel to press the Menu or Car button and enter the vehicle settings menu. Look for the Service option, select it, and there should be a 'Reset Service Indicator' option. Hold down the OK or confirm button for 5-10 seconds until the dashboard shows that the reset is complete, and the maintenance light will turn off. This operation must be done after the actual maintenance service; otherwise, the light will come back on quickly. I’ve tried it a few times, and if you’re quick, it takes about a minute. Remember, don’t fiddle with the buttons while driving to avoid distractions. Audi’s systems are pretty smart—regular reminders help maintain the car’s condition. But if the light keeps coming on, it’s best to have a professional check it out in case there’s a setting error.
