Does the Volkswagen Bora have tire pressure monitoring?
1 Answers
The new Bora is equipped with an indirect tire pressure monitoring system, which utilizes the ABS system to monitor tire pressure. Below are the relevant details: 1. Standard tire pressure values need to be preset: After inflating all four tires to the standard pressure, drive for about 10 minutes, then press and hold the SET button for tire pressure, located in front of the gear lever. After holding it for a while, the system will emit a 'dong' sound, indicating that the tire pressure monitoring system has recorded the current tire pressure values of all four tires. 2. When there is an issue with the tires: A tire pressure warning icon will appear on the dashboard, indicating a tire pressure problem that requires inspection. After confirming that the tire pressure is normal post-repair, press and hold the button in front of the gear lever for a few seconds until you hear a beep, then release it to set the current tire pressure as the normal value. 3. The working principle of indirect tire pressure monitoring is: When the pressure in a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the rolling radius of that tire to become smaller, resulting in a faster rotation speed compared to the other wheels. By comparing the differences in rotation speeds between the tires, the system monitors the tire pressure. The indirect tire pressure warning system essentially relies on calculating the rolling radius of the tires to monitor the pressure.
