How to Reset the Maintenance Light on Bora 1.6?
2 Answers
Bora 1.6 maintenance light reset method is: 1. Turn off the ignition key and hold down the mileage reset button; 2. Turn on the ignition switch and rotate the clock adjustment button to the right until the maintenance light disappears. The car maintenance light is a preset maintenance cycle indicator. When the vehicle reaches the scheduled maintenance mileage, the maintenance light will illuminate to remind the owner to perform maintenance. Taking the 2017 Bora 1.6 as an example, it is a compact car with body dimensions of: length 4562mm, width 1793mm, height 1468mm, wheelbase 2614mm, and curb weight 1220kg.
I've been driving a Bora 1.6 for several years, and when the maintenance light comes on, it's important to reset it promptly to avoid constant reminders. The operation is quite simple: first, turn off the key and don't move it, then sit in the car and locate the TRIP button on the dashboard. Hold it down, turn the key to the power-on position without starting the engine, wait about 10 seconds until the light flashes or goes off, then release the button. I've tried it several times, and it works every time. Remember to check the owner's manual to confirm the button's location, as it might vary slightly for different models. Although not resetting it doesn't affect driving, it's easy to overlook regular maintenance. If the oil expires, the engine is prone to carbon buildup and wear, which could lead to expensive repairs later. I make it a habit to check the oil level and quality regularly—proper maintenance ensures both economy and safety.
