If the electronic parking brake malfunctions, there typically isn't a manual override. Contact Audi roadside assistance or have the vehicle towed to a qualified service center. For safety, never attempt to drive with a malfunctioning parking brake system.

Why is my tire pressure monitoring system warning light on?

The TPMS warning indicates one or more tires may be underinflated, there's a system malfunction, or you need to reset the system after adjusting tire pressures. Check and adjust all tire pressures to the recommended levels found on the driver's door frame, then reset the system through the MMI menu.

How often should I update the MMI software?

Check for software updates every 6 months or when notified by the system. Updates can be performed at Audi dealerships or downloaded if your vehicle has over-the-air update capability. Regular updates improve functionality and may fix known issues.

What should I do if the adaptive cruise control isn't working?

Ensure the front sensors and camera aren't blocked by dirt, snow, or debris. Check that the system is properly activated through the steering wheel controls. If issues persist, the system may need recalibration or sensor cleaning at an Audi service center.
