The Audi Q5 is an SUV with global admiration from the giant German company Audi. First unveiled in 2008, the model has enjoyed continued success to date. As with any automobile, maintenance and repair services are paramount for an Audi Q5. For instance, you must change the car’s tires, rotate them, or adjust their tire pressures for maximum comfort and safety. The TPMS light on the infotainment system usually alerts the driver when any tire needs checking.
However, the TPMS light can sometimes appear even after servicing and maintaining the vehicle’s tires. If this happens, the best solution is to reset it. This guide shows you how.

Why Does the TPMS Light Turn On?
If you are sure that all the tires of your Audi Q5 have the correct pressure levels, the following factors might be the ones contributing to the TPMS light suddenly appearing while driving:
Sudden Weather Changes
Sometimes the air pressure and/or temperature within your environment can fall suddenly, and your Audi Q5’s tires are bound to follow suit. Though rarely, some tires might lose enough pressure to trigger the TPMS light in such conditions.
A Slow Puncture in One or Multiple Tires
Tire leaks are also likely causes for sudden TPMS light notifications. As you drive, one or multiple tires might be punctured, leading to slow leaks to the level of triggering the TPMS. When this happens, your best option is to contact an authorized car dealer.
