2024–2027 Audi A5 FAQ

What should I do when the service interval display says service is due?

Have the required inspection or oil change performed according to Audi guidelines, even with low mileage, because overdue service can lead to breakdowns, accidents, and serious injuries.

To check the time and distance remaining until your next oil change or inspection, open the Car menu; a new vehicle requires 500 km first.

How do I check the remaining time or distance before service?

Open the Vehicle menu in the infotainment system to check the remaining distance or time until the next oil change or inspection.

For a new vehicle, the service schedule can be viewed only after 310 miles (500 km).

A reminder can indicate an inspection, oil change, or both; arrange service promptly according to Audi guidelines, even if mileage is low.
