How to Reset the Tire Pressure Monitoring Light on the Bora?
3 Answers
Method to reset the tire pressure monitoring light on the Bora: There is a button in front of the gear lever with the symbol of the tire pressure warning light. Press and hold it for a while, and the tire pressure monitoring light will reset. It is recommended to perform this operation when the vehicle is parked. The Bora's tire pressure monitoring system automatically activates after the vehicle is started. Its function is to continuously monitor the tire pressure during driving and alert the driver in case of tire leakage or low pressure to ensure driving safety. The Bora is the first independently designed model by FAW-Volkswagen and is acclaimed as a new car that inherits and surpasses the classic. In terms of body dimensions, the Bora measures 4376mm in length, 1775mm in width, and 1446mm in height. The engine type is an inline four-cylinder.
I've been driving my Bora for two or three years and have encountered the tire pressure warning light several times. It's quite simple. First, check the air pressure in all the tires to ensure they are at the correct levels, such as around 2.3 bar for the front tires and 2.2 bar for the rear tires. If the pressure is low, just drive to a gas station to inflate them. After checking, return to the car with the engine running but don't drive. Near the steering wheel or under the center console, there's a button labeled "SET" or with a tire pressure symbol. Press and hold it for about 5 seconds, and the warning light usually turns off. Remember, always do this when the tire pressure is normal, otherwise the light will come back on. It's recommended to check the tire pressure monthly, especially in winter when temperatures drop quickly and tire pressure can fluctuate. If the light remains on after performing these steps, there might be a sensor issue, and it's best to have it checked at a professional shop. Don't risk driving—safety first.
From my experience, the Bora tire pressure light reset mainly involves resetting the system. The principle is that the built-in sensors monitor the pressure, and the light will come on if there's an abnormal signal. First, make sure the tires aren't leaking or damaged, and check the pressure with a gauge—the standard values are marked on the front windshield. To perform the reset, turn the key to the first position without starting the engine, find the menu button on the center console, enter the vehicle settings, select the tire pressure monitoring option, then click reset to confirm—the light usually turns off. Note that this operation may require the vehicle to be stationary. In fact, tire pressure directly affects braking distance, and I emphasize that regular maintenance is more valuable than temporary fixes. During seasonal changes, tire pressure fluctuates significantly, so early checks can prevent the light from coming on. If resetting doesn't work, it might be a wiring issue or sensor failure, and diagnostic tools should be used for inspection.
