How do you reset the service indicator? I could RTFM, but I'm feeling lazy. Thanks!

Since we are on the subject... can the air pressure indicator be disabled?
I bought a set of winter wheels (OEM RS4s in gun metal) from the dealer, but didn't pay for the sensor valve stems... so the air pressure warning light is on all winter. Can that be turned off?
(I didn't take the tires off the summer rims so takeing out the sensor valve stem wasn't possible)

$400 for valve stems?
sigh
The main issue is I don't want to buy them, take the tires off install them, remount the tires... PITA that I don't have time for. Disabling the light is a wee bit easier.

Stick key in ignition but don't turn yet and press wrench button. While holding down the wrench
button, turn key to the "on" position (before starting) and press the 0,0 button (while still holding down the wrench button). That should reset the service indicator.

it wouldn't be worth $4.
first hand accounts seem to suggest the TPMS system has some problems. when I put on my new wheels (w/o TPMS sensors) I didn't get a warning indicator. so that tells me that either 1) my OEM wheels don't have TPMS sensors, or 2) the system malfunctioned. I don't miss having it.

Interesting you say that... I drove for a month on the new rims w/o sensors and no light
then one day it decided to come on. maybe becasue the old rims were sitting next to the car in the garage for the month, then I moved them to my warehouse... hmmm.
