On an Audi Q7, you can view tire pressures through the vehicle’s display screens. The quick way is to check the per-tire pressures in the MMI touchscreen or in the driver information display, with the door‑jamb placard listing the recommended cold pressures for your tires. If a TPMS warning lights up, verify and adjust pressures accordingly.
Using the MMI touchscreen to view tire pressures
Follow these steps to view tire pressures through the MMI; menu names can vary slightly by model year and software version.
- Start the engine or turn the ignition to accessory so the MMI is active.
- From the MMI home screen, select Car (or Vehicle).
- Choose Tire Pressure (sometimes labeled Tire Pressure Monitoring or TPMS).
- The screen will display the current pressure for each tire, often with a status indicator for low or high pressures.
- Compare each value to the recommended cold pressures listed on the door jamb placard; inflate or deflate as needed.
This method shows per-tire pressures and helps you spot imbalances quickly. If your Q7 uses a newer virtual cockpit, the same information may also be accessible there via the Vehicle or TPMS menus.
Using the instrument cluster and steering-wheel controls
Some Audi Q7 models provide tire pressure readouts in the instrument cluster or driver information display (DIS) that you can cycle through with the steering wheel controls. Use the controls to navigate to the TPMS readout.
- With the engine on, use the left or right steering wheel button (often the View/OK button) to toggle through the instrument cluster screens until you reach Tire Pressure or TPMS.
- Read the per-tire pressures shown on the display for each wheel.
- Compare to the door jamb placard values and adjust as necessary.
Note that in some older or certain trims, the per-tire readout is only available via MMI; the cluster may only show a warning light when a tire is under pressure.
Troubleshooting and tips
TPMS warning light and what it means
If the TPMS warning light is on, one or more tires are below the recommended pressure or there may be a sensor fault. Check all tires, inflate to the specified cold pressures, and drive a short distance to recalibrate the system. If the warning persists after correcting pressure, have the sensors inspected by a technician.
Where to find the recommended tire pressures
The exact cold tire pressures are listed on the driver’s door jamb placard and in the owner’s manual. They vary by model year, tire size, and load. Always use those numbers rather than estimates.
Summary
To check tire pressure on an Audi Q7, use the MMI tire pressure readout or the driver information display, and verify against the placard. Maintain proper inflation for safety, handling, and fuel efficiency, and promptly address any TPMS warnings.
