I-CAR Just In Time: 2026 Audi Q7 Air Suspension Service Mode

Posted on 12 August 2026

Sometimes seeing is understanding, that’s why I-CAR's technical team created the Just in Time video series to guide you through a variety of collision repair topics from ADAS and EVs to repair tips and tricks. These videos enable you to, in less than 5 minutes, learn something new. Let’s check out what the team has added about the 2026 Audi Q7 air suspension.

Adaptive air suspension may interfere with repair operations. Turning on the Air Suspension: Wheel Change disables the auto-leveling function to safely work on the vehicle. This service mode is needed to safely change a flat tire in an emergency.

Repairs to the self-leveling suspension system may require the Standard Vehicle Height, Readapting procedure to be performed, found in the Suspension, Wheels, Steering repair manual.

Make sure to follow precautions, including convenience systems, such as air suspension, as part of a complete, safe, and quality repair.
