Audi Q3 manual maintenance light reset method is as follows: 1. Turn off the ignition switch and shut down the engine. 2. Press and hold the right button "0.0" (reset) on the instrument panel with your left hand. 3. While continuing to hold the right button "0.0" (reset) with your left hand, turn on the ignition switch. 4. When "SERVICE" or "SERVICE-IN*****MI" appears on the instrument panel display, release the right button "0.0". 5. Press the left button "SET" (setting) within 20 seconds to reset. 6. When "SERVICE-IN-10000MI" appears on the instrument panel display, it indicates the reset is complete.
As a frequent driver of the Audi Q3, I remember that resetting the maintenance light myself last time was quite convenient. First, completely turn off the engine and ensure the car is stationary, then turn the key to the ACC position without starting the engine. Next, locate the Trip button or the 0.0 reset button near the steering wheel, hold it down, and simultaneously turn the key to the ON position until the dashboard lights up. After about five seconds, a menu will pop up on the screen showing 'Reset Maintenance.' Select and confirm it. The whole process takes just a minute or two, but make sure to do it in a safe place, not by the roadside. If your model year is newer, the button location might differ, so it's advisable to check the manual or YouTube tutorials to avoid pressing the wrong button. Doing it yourself can save money on fuel, but if the light doesn’t go off, check if there’s an actual maintenance issue—don’t reset it randomly and delay necessary servicing. Be patient and try a few times if needed, avoiding releasing the button midway to prevent system errors.
