Audi A3 tire pressure warning light reset method: First, enter the main menu, locate the tire pressure monitoring system, and reset the tire pressure data. After successfully setting the data, save it and exit the system. Below is an introduction to the Audi A3: 1. There are a total of 24 models of the Audi A3 currently on sale. In terms of appearance, the new car retains the design of the previous Audi A3 but adds a new "Parrot Blue" paint option, and the roof antenna has been changed to black (the previous version had the antenna matching the body color). The base model has been upgraded with the same exterior kit as the fashion model, while the fashion model now includes LED headlights. 2. In terms of power, the Audi A3 continues to use the previous generation's 1.4T and 2.0T turbocharged engines. The 1.4T engine has a maximum power of 110 kW (150 PS) and a peak torque of 250 N·m, while the 2.0T engine delivers a maximum power of 140 kW (190 PS) and a peak torque of 320 N·m. The transmission system is matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox across the entire lineup.
My Audi A3 had a tire pressure warning last time, and it took me a long time to figure it out. The correct steps are: first start the car, then press the CAR button on the central control screen to enter the menu, find the "Maintenance and Inspection" option, select "Tire Pressure Monitoring System" after entering, and finally click "Store Tire Pressure" to complete the reset. The key point is to ensure that all four tires are inflated to the standard value before operation. The tire pressure label is usually located on the driver's door frame or fuel tank cap. If the warning persists after resetting, it may be due to a slow leak caused by a nail. Later, I went to the auto repair shop and found a screw. It is recommended to check the tire pressure monthly with the onboard air pump, especially when the temperature drops suddenly, as this is the most likely time for false alarms.
I usually commute in an Audi A3. When encountering a tire pressure warning, I directly operate it via the steering wheel: first press the 'Vehicle' button on the multifunction key, scroll to find the 'Tire Pressure Settings' menu, and then press and hold the 'OK' button for 3 seconds to reset. Make sure there are no abnormalities in the tires. Once, I hastily reset it only to find out later that there was a bulge on the tire sidewall. It's recommended to perform this operation when the car is cold, as hot tires can affect the reset accuracy. After resetting, drive for two kilometers to let the system self-check. The warning light should not come back on for the reset to be considered successful. During high summer temperatures when the pressure increases, I lower the tire pressure by 0.1 Bar to prevent false alarms. The vehicle manual provides detailed reference values for tire pressure.
