Page 263 in the 2025 manual →How can I check when my next service is due?
2027
Use the Vehicle menu within the Infotainment system to view how much time or distance remains before the next oil change or inspection.
For new vehicles, you cannot view the service interval schedule until the vehicle has traveled 310 miles (500 km).
Page 221 in the 2027 manual →2026
In the MMI home screen, select CAR > Settings & service > Service intervals to see the remaining distance and time.
For vehicles with flexible oil change service, a new vehicle cannot show the interval until it has been driven about 500 km.
Page 257 in the 2026 manual →2024–2025
The service interval display shows remaining distance or time, then displays "Inspection due!", "Oil change due!", or both when service is due.
Check the interval in MMI at VEHICLE > Settings & Service > Service intervals, and do not exceed the time for the next service even with low mileage.
Page 235 in the 2025 manual →What should I do when the service interval display says service is due?
2027
Inspection due!, Oil change due!, or Oil change and inspection due! means the vehicle has reached an inspection or oil change interval.
Have service performed according to Audi guidelines, and do not exceed the next service time even if mileage is low.
Page 220 in the 2027 manual →What does the remote-control key not recognized message mean?

Page 97 in the 2026 manual →How do I start my Q3 with the convenience key?

Page 271 in the 2026 manual →What does the quattro four-wheel-drive system do?

It varies power between the front and rear axles to improve handling in normal and difficult conditions.

Page 115 in the 2026 manual →What should I do if the brake fluid warning appears?

Page 57 in the 2025 manual →How do I turn on the automatic headlights?

Page 54 in the 2025 manual →How do I lock my Audi Q3 with the convenience key?
2024–2025
