Reset the Tyre Pressure Monitor (TPMS)

Last updated: June 6, 2026

The Audi Q3 Mk2 (F3, 2018–present) stores a reference set of tyre pressures, so after you inflate or change a tyre you tell it the new values are correct. You do that through the MMI menu. Here’s how.

Set the Pressures First

Inflate all four tyres cold to the figure on the driver’s door-pillar label, then store the new reference.

How to Store the New Pressures

1. Adjust the pressures, then switch the ignition on.
2. On the MMI touchscreen open ‘Vehicle’ (or the car/assist menu).
3. Select ‘Service & checks’ → ‘Tyre pressure monitoring’ (wording varies by software).
4. Choose ‘Store tyre pressures’ / ‘SET’ and confirm. A message confirms the new reference is saved.

If the Light Stays On

• Re-check every tyre — the system compares wheels, so one low corner triggers it.
• Always re-store after inflating — the Q3’s indirect system needs the new baseline saved.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I reset the tyre pressure light on an Audi Q3?

Set the pressures, then in the MMI go to Vehicle → Service & checks → Tyre pressure monitoring and store the new values.

Do I need a tool?

No — the Q3 stores the reference through its own menu; no garage equipment needed.

Why does the light come on in cold weather?

Pressures drop as temperature falls. Top up to the label figure and re-store the reference.

It came on after a wheel change — why?

You moved the reference. Re-run the store so the new pressures become the baseline.
