What are the steps to reset the tire pressure warning on an Audi A4?

Audi A4L tire pressure reset method: First, turn on the ignition, then press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "ding" sound before releasing it. The tire pressure monitoring system will then store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally, the warning light on the dashboard will turn off, indicating the tire pressure reset is complete. Solutions for insufficient tire pressure: If no damage is visible, simply inflate the tire to the normal pressure and reset the tire pressure system; If upon inspection the tire is found to be punctured, drive to a tire repair shop promptly to have it fixed, then reinflate; If the tire pressure warning reappears some time after inflation without any punctures, it might be due to air leakage caused by a deformed wheel rim. It is recommended to check the wheel rim and replace it if necessary. Hazards of low tire pressure: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Causes the steering wheel to feel heavy and may lead to unsafe driving conditions such as veering off course.
I previously drove an Audi A4, and the tire pressure warning light was quite annoying. The reset steps are actually quite simple: first, make sure all tire pressures are adjusted to the standard values (indicated on the sticker on the door frame), then sit in the car and turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine. Use the steering wheel buttons or the central control screen to open the menu, navigate to the tire pressure monitoring option in the vehicle settings, and select 'Store current pressure value' to confirm. Once done, the light will turn off. I should remind you that regularly checking tire pressure is important because insufficient or excessive tire pressure not only increases fuel consumption but also affects braking performance. Problems are more likely to occur in hot summer weather. I make it a habit to check the tire pressure monthly with a handheld gauge to keep it normal, so I don’t have to reset it frequently.
As a car enthusiast, I often tinker with such issues. The Audi A4's tire pressure system is quite intelligent, but resetting it must be done step by step: After ensuring the tires are properly inflated (recommended to check in a cold state), turn the ignition key to the ACC position, find the tire pressure reset option in the MMI system menu under vehicle functions, and confirm the operation. This process only takes a few seconds, but don't be lazy—if you don't reset it, the warning light will stay on and obstruct your view. Additionally, when changing tires, you'll need to readjust it to avoid false alarms and ensure driving safety.
