Suspension
Yellow light came on during 3 hour jny yesterday. This morning light is red and car right down low. We have Audi all road 2013. Adaptive lighting warning came on too. Could it just need to be reset or restarted. Any ideas welcome otherwise stranded 3 hrs from home!

I think it is more serious problem. No restarting will help, but you can drive it like that relatively slowly and carefully. It will be low and stiff, but it won't cause more damage (unless you bottom it).

Although Audi recommends that rubber spacers be fitted if driving the car without a working air suspension: I had to drive home from a West suburb of Chicago once when an air strut blew out and shut the system down. It was winter on pothole-ridden I-94 which is a major truck rote with very high weight limits for steel transport and other automotive components.
It was a rough ride and I did some bottoming out that damaged the lower engine cover, But I made it home ok. This was a 300 mile trip without air suspension. All air gone from the front two struts.
