As a car enthusiast who often tinkers in the garage, I know the whole process of resetting the maintenance light on the New Bora is quite straightforward. First, you need to sit in the car with the engine off. Insert the key and turn it to the power-on position, but don't start the engine. When the dashboard lights up, locate a button labeled '0.0' or 'SET', usually found near the steering wheel or on the right side of the instrument panel. Press and hold it firmly without releasing, while keeping an eye on the screen for changes. After about 10 to 15 seconds, a 'Maintenance Reset' or similar prompt will appear. Release the button only after confirming the light has turned off. After resetting, it's advisable to perform a quick self-check, such as inspecting the oil dipstick or reviewing the last maintenance record, to ensure the reminder function works properly. After all, this light serves as a reminder for regular maintenance, helping prevent engine overheating and extending the vehicle's lifespan. Resetting it every 5,000 kilometers is the safest practice, and once it becomes a habit, it saves both hassle and effort.
