How to reset the odometer on an Audi Q5?
2 Answers
The method to reset the odometer on an Audi Q5 is: locate the toggle button for the total mileage and trip mileage on the dashboard, switch to the trip mileage, and hold the toggle button for 3 seconds to reset it. Note that the total mileage cannot be reset. Taking the 2020 Audi Q5 as an example, it is a mid-size SUV with the following dimensions: length 4753mm, width 1893mm, height 1659mm, wheelbase 2908mm, fuel tank capacity 73l, and curb weight 1855kg. The 2020 Audi Q5 features a five-link independent suspension for both the front and rear, and is equipped with a 2.0l turbocharged engine producing a maximum horsepower of 190ps, maximum power of 140kw, and maximum torque of 320nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
As a long-time Audi driver, I find resetting the trip mileage on my Q5 quite practical. My car is a 2018 Q5, and the method is simple: first, turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine; then rotate the control stalk on the left side of the steering wheel to switch the screen to display TRIP A or B; finally, press and hold that button for about 5 seconds, and it will automatically reset to zero. I often reset it after each full tank of gas, which helps me accurately calculate fuel consumption during long trips, saving me a lot of money. Remember, this only affects the trip meter and doesn’t touch the total mileage—don’t mess with the odometer, or you could face legal trouble. Developing this habit can also help monitor your vehicle’s condition, preventing small issues from escalating into major problems. Always ensure the car is parked safely before performing this operation. Audi’s design is very user-friendly, and beginners will get the hang of it after a few tries.
