How to Reset the Tire Pressure Warning Light on a Bora?
3 Answers
The method to reset the tire pressure warning light on a Bora is: 1. Locate the tire monitoring indicator button on the center console and press it to recalibrate the tire monitoring indicator; 2. Find the tire pressure reset option in the settings on the central display. The Bora is a compact car under the FAW-Volkswagen brand. Taking the 2021 Comfort Intelligent Edition as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4663 mm, width 1815 mm, height 1462 mm, with a wheelbase of 2688 mm. The 2021 Comfort Intelligent Edition is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering a maximum horsepower of 116 hp, a maximum power of 85 kW, and a maximum power speed of 5000 rpm.
I've been driving my Bora for several years, and that time when the tire pressure light came on really freaked me out. I quickly checked the manual and managed to fix it myself. Simply put, first make sure all tire pressures are correctly adjusted, including the spare tire—don’t forget that. Volkswagen recommends around 2.5 bar for cold tires. If the pressure is normal, start the engine, use the buttons on the steering wheel to navigate to the "Vehicle Settings" menu, and find the "Tire Pressure Monitoring" option. Select "Reset" and confirm. Sometimes you need to drive for a while before the system recalibrates and the light goes off. If the light stays on, it could be a faulty sensor or a serious leak, and you’ll need to get it checked at a shop. Remember, checking tire pressure regularly can prevent such issues—pressure changes a lot between winter and summer, which can cause problems. After that ordeal, I realized that making it a habit to use a tire pressure gauge every two weeks is the most hassle-free approach.
As someone who has long been involved with cars, I recommend focusing on the reset operation when dealing with the Bora tire pressure warning light. First, ensure all tire pressures meet the standard by using a tire pressure gauge to measure each wheel, including the spare tire. Then, start the vehicle without shifting gears, locate the central control screen or steering wheel menu button—usually by pressing the CAR button to enter the system, select the maintenance option, scroll to the tire pressure reset item, and confirm. After completion, drive a few kilometers to test if the warning light disappears. If the reset is ineffective, it might be a sensor malfunction or wiring issue, requiring professional diagnosis—don't attempt to fix it yourself. Regularly maintain proper tire pressure, neither too low nor too high, adhering to the recommended values can extend sensor lifespan and prevent frequent warning light activations. In summer, tire pressure rises quickly due to heat, so measuring it in the morning provides the most accurate reading.
