How to Reset the Tire Warning on Audi Q3?
2 Answers
There is a button on the right-hand side of the steering wheel, near the wiper lever. Press this button three times, and the dashboard will display the menu related to tire pressure. Enter the MMI system, press the CAR button, then the SYSTEM button, locate the Tire Pressure Monitoring System, and select either 'Wheel Change' or 'Store Tire Pressure' to reset the warning.
Having driven an Audi for over a decade, I advise against hasty operations when encountering tire pressure warnings. The Audi Q3's tire pressure monitoring system is quite intelligent, but before clearing the alert, ensure all tires have proper inflation - typically around 2.4 bar when cold. After parking, use a reliable pressure gauge to check and inflate. If there's a leak or foreign object in the tire, repair it first. Then start the engine, access the vehicle menu via the left steering wheel button, select CAR settings to find "Tire Monitoring," and click reset to store current pressure values; some models require driving a few hundred meters for automatic system calibration. If the warning persists despite correct pressure, it might indicate sensor malfunction - prompt inspection is recommended to prevent safety issues. Monthly pressure checks can prevent problems - I once experienced frequent alerts which were completely resolved after sensor replacement.
