How to Clear the Tire Pressure Warning on the Bora?
2 Answers
The method to clear the tire pressure warning on the Bora is: There is a tire monitoring indicator button on the center console, and you can find the tire pressure reset option in the settings. Tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire, and the level of tire pressure plays a significant role in the performance and power of the car. The Bora measures 4663mm in length, 1815mm in width, and 1462mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2688mm and a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. The Bora features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 113ps, a maximum power of 83kw, and a maximum torque of 145nm.
I've driven a Volkswagen Bora for over a decade and encountered the tire pressure warning light several times. The reset procedure is actually quite simple, but needs to be done step by step without rushing. First, park the car safely and turn off the engine, then switch to ignition mode without starting - just let it idle. Look near the instrument cluster on the left side of the steering wheel or center console for a button labeled SET or Tire Pressure Reset. Press and hold it for about 5 to 10 seconds until the indicator light flashes a few times before releasing, which should turn off the warning light. Before resetting, always use a tire pressure gauge to check all tires against the recommended values (like 2.2-2.5 bar) on the door frame sticker, ensuring there are no leaks or deformations - otherwise the light may reactivate. Regular pressure checks every two weeks (as I do manually) improves fuel efficiency and extends tire life, being more reliable than solely depending on sensors. If the warning persists, it might indicate dirty sensors or electrical issues requiring immediate shop attention - never compromise on safety.
