The recommended tire pressure for an Audi Q5 is 32 to 35 pounds per square inch (PSI) in the front and 35 to 38 PSI in the rear, depending on the tire size.

The correct Audi Q5 tire pressure will depend on your tire size and which trim level and model year you drive.
Your front tire’s pressure should be 32-35 PSI, while the rear tire’s pressure should be 35-38 PSI.
Checking your tire pressure monthly can ensure your tires stay properly inflated, helping them to last longer.

What is the right tire pressure for an Audi Q5?

Check your owner’s manual or look at the sticker on the driver’s side door frame to find the exact tire pressure specification for your car and tire size.

For most newer Audi Q5s, the tire pressure specifications are between 32 to 35 PSI for the front tires and 35 to 38 PSI for the rear tires.

If you own an older Q5 or a specific trim or model, the tire pressure might be slightly different.

For example, the proper tire pressure setting for a 2009 Audi Q5 is 32 PSI in the front and back, with no variation depending on tire size. On the other hand, an Audi Q5 Hybrid Prestige has a recommended tire pressure of 32 to 33 PSI for the front and rear tires.

Additionally, if you install bigger tires or high-performance tires on your car, you might need to inflate them to a different pressure. Be sure to check the specifications for your new tires before filling them incorrectly.

How to check Audi Q5 tire pressure

Checking your Audi Q5 tire pressure is quick and easy. And depending on the age and model options of your car, you might be able to do it while sitting in the driver’s seat!

If you own a newer Q5, you can check the tire pressure by looking at the information on the dashboard display.

If the tire pressure is too low, a warning light will illuminate, signaling it’s time to check the pressure.

If your car isn’t equipped with a display, don’t worry. Once you know the proper PSI, checking the air pressure in your tires is still a quick and easy process.

Here’s how to check the tire pressure on your Audi Q5:

Locate the valve stems on each of your tires.

Remove the cap and press a tire pressure gauge into the stem. Doing so will give you your PSI reading.

Add air through a compressor or remove air using the backside of the tire gauge as needed until you reach the proper tire pressure.

Repeat for all tires.

You can check your tire pressure at home, in your driveway, or at a gas station with an air compressor. Alternatively, your car might tell you the tire pressure is low before you check it yourself with poor fuel economy and a bumpy ride.

How often should you check your tire pressure?

You should check your car’s tire pressure at least once a month and before any long road trips.

If you notice decreased performance, an uneven ride, or problems with your car’s steering, your tires might be improperly inflated. If you’re unsure, check the tire pressure!

How to tell if your Audi Q5 needs new tires

If you drive your car an average of 12,000 to 15,000 miles per year, you should have to replace the tires every three years or so. But it’s smart to get into the habit of checking your tires for signs of wear every time you check the pressure.

Signs that you need new tires include exposed wires, bulges or cracks, and low tread.

If you don’t know how to check your tires’ tread depth, you can purchase a cheap tread depth gauge from your local auto parts store or use the penny method. For this method, stick a U.S. penny head-first into your tire’s tread. If you can see Lincoln’s head, it’s time for new tires.

How to reset the Audi Q5 tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) light

Here’s how to

reset your TPMS

First, ensure that all of your tires—including the spare—are inflated to the proper specification.

Turn the ignition key to “on,” or, for keyless cars, press the ignition button once without depressing the brake.

Locate the MMI® control panel, press the car button, and then choose the systems control button.

Navigate through the menus in this order: select vehicle > service & checks > tire pressure monitoring > store tire pressure > yes, store now.

Completing these steps should reset the TPMS and turn off the light. If the light on your Audi remains on, you may need to take your car to a mechanic for further inspection and diagnostic work.
