How to reset the tire pressure monitoring system on a 2019 Bora?

Method to reset the tire pressure monitoring system on a 2019 Bora: Turn on the ignition switch and hold down the tire pressure monitoring reset button for a few seconds. The illumination of the tire pressure warning light is a critical signal that requires immediate attention. The primary functions of the tire pressure monitoring system are as follows: 1. Accident prevention: As an active safety device, the tire pressure monitoring system can alert the driver promptly when potential tire hazards are detected, enabling timely corrective actions to prevent serious accidents. 2. Extending tire lifespan: With the tire pressure monitoring system, tires can consistently operate within specified pressure and temperature ranges, reducing tire damage and prolonging their service life. Studies indicate that driving with underinflated tires (10% below normal pressure) reduces tire lifespan by 15%. 3. Improved fuel efficiency: Underinflated tires increase the contact area with the road surface, raising rolling resistance. When tire pressure falls 30% below standard, fuel consumption increases by 10%. 4. Reduced suspension system wear: Overinflated tires diminish the tire's natural shock absorption, placing additional strain on the vehicle's suspension system. Prolonged use under these conditions can significantly damage the engine chassis and suspension components. Uneven tire pressure may also cause braking deviation, accelerating wear on the suspension system.
When I first drove my 2019 Bora, I also encountered the tire pressure warning light coming on. Usually, it's just a false alarm or caused by minor fluctuations in tire pressure. First, you need to ensure all tires are properly inflated according to the values on the label by the door—typically around 2.2 for the front tires and 2.3 for the rear. Use a tire pressure gauge to adjust them to the standard. Then, sit in the driver's seat, turn on the ignition without starting the engine, and use the control buttons on the right side of the steering wheel to navigate the dashboard menu to the settings option. Find the tire pressure reset option and confirm it, and the light will turn off. The whole process is simple and safe, saving you an unnecessary trip to the repair shop and wasted money. I recommend checking your tires before every long trip to avoid the light coming on again, as incorrect tire pressure wastes fuel and is dangerous. Over time, these little tricks become habits.
