How to reset the tire pressure warning on the Q5?
2 Answers
The method to reset the tire pressure warning on the Q5 is: 1. Calibrate the tire pressure for all four tires, then navigate to the vehicle settings menu on the central display and enter the system maintenance options; 2. Locate the tire pressure monitoring option and save the tire pressure. Taking the 2018 Q5 as an example, it is a mid-size SUV with body dimensions of: length 4629mm, width 1898mm, height 1655mm, wheelbase 2807mm, fuel tank capacity 75l, and curb weight 1900kg. The 2018 Q5 features a five-link independent front suspension and a trapezoidal link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 230PS, maximum power of 169kW, maximum torque of 350Nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
Over the years of driving my Audi Q5, the tire pressure warning light frequently comes on, but the reset procedure isn't complicated. First, ensure all tires including the spare are inflated to the correct pressure - refer to the standard values on the door jamb sticker, typically 32-35psi. If pressure is low, simply inflate at a nearby gas station. Afterward, start the engine but don't drive off. Press the 'CAR' button on the steering wheel or access the vehicle settings via the MMI screen, select the tire option, then press and hold the TPMS reset button for several seconds until the dashboard shows 'calibrating' before releasing. The system completes self-learning in about 1-2 minutes. If warnings persist, it might indicate slow leaks or sensor malfunction requiring professional inspection. Remember safety first - make it a habit to check tire pressure before every trip. While this warning system is thoughtful, don't rely on it as a substitute for regular maintenance.
