How to Check the Tire Pressure Monitoring System on the Bora?
2 Answers
The method to check the tire pressure monitoring system on the Bora is: 1. Start the engine and turn on the power; 2. Press the tire pressure reset button to view the tire pressure. Taking the 2021 Bora as an example, it is a compact car with the following dimensions: length 4663mm, width 1815mm, height 1462mm, wheelbase 2688mm, minimum ground clearance 126mm, and curb weight 1320kg. The 2021 Bora is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 116PS, maximum torque of 200Nm, and maximum power of 85kW, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I've been driving a Bora for three years, and checking the tire pressure monitoring is actually quite simple. Most configurations of this car come with an indirect monitoring system, which doesn't display real-time specific tire pressure values. However, there's a small yellow light on the dashboard that looks like a tire shape with an exclamation mark. If this light stays on or flashes, it indicates abnormal tire pressure. Before driving, I always check if the indicator light turns off during the dashboard self-test. If the light suddenly comes on while driving, I immediately slow down and pull over to inspect all four tires for obvious deflation. Resetting the Bora's system is also crucial: after adjusting the tire pressure, open the vehicle settings menu on the central control screen, find the tire option, and hold the SET button until the dashboard indicator light flashes twice, indicating a successful reset. Remember to reset the system after each inflation, or it may give false alarms. In winter, tire pressure drops faster, so I've developed a habit of checking it myself every month.
