How to Audi Q5 Tire Pressure Reset
Audi Q5 uses an indirect TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System), which doesn't rely on pressure sensors inside the tires. Instead, it uses ABS wheel speed sensors to detect changes in tire rotation that could indicate a loss of pressure. After inflating or replacing tires, you must reset the system so it can recalibrate to the new pressures. Before resetting: Make sure the tires are cold. Check and adjust all four tire pressures to the recommended values shown on the driver’s door sticker. Once done, follow the reset procedure below based on your model year. For 2017 and newer Audi Q5 with MMI Touch or MMI Navigation Plus: Turn on the ignition (engine off), press the “MENU” or “CAR” button on the center console, use the rotary dial to go to “Vehicle” > “Settings & Service” > “Tire Pressure Monitoring” or “Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator.” Select “Store tire pressures” or “Reset,” then confirm by selecting “Yes” or “Store.” The system will then learn and store the current pressures as the correct baseline. For 2010–2016 Audi Q5 with standard MMI: Turn on the ignition, press the “CAR” button, go to “Service & Checks,” then “Tire Pressure Monitoring,” and select “Store tire pressures” or “Reset.” Confirm when prompted. Important tips: This reset process does not fix any tire issue—it only sets a new reference. After the reset, the car may need to be driven for several minutes for the system to recalibrate. If the TPMS light stays on afterward, recheck all tires (including the spare if applicable) or check for tire damage or system malfunction.
