Method to reset the tire pressure warning light on Volkswagen Bora: First, locate the SET button marked either in front of the gear lever or on its right side. Turn on the vehicle's ignition, then press the SET button and hold it for three seconds. The tire pressure indicator light on the dashboard will automatically turn off. The Bora's tire pressure monitoring system activates automatically, functioning to continuously monitor the tire pressure in real-time while driving. It alerts the driver in case of tire leaks or low pressure to ensure driving safety. The Volkswagen Bora has a body length of 4663mm, width of 1815mm, height of 1462mm, and a wheelbase of 2688mm. It is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. This engine delivers a maximum power of 85kW and a maximum torque of 200Nm.
I recently dealt with this issue. When the tire pressure warning light comes on, first don't panic. Use a tire pressure gauge to check if all four tires are at the standard value, which is marked on the fuel tank cap or door frame. After filling the tires to the correct pressure, start the vehicle and find the settings menu on the center screen. Select the vehicle option, where you'll find the tire pressure calibration function. After storing the new data, the light will go off. If the light stays on after filling the tires, it might be due to dust on the wheel speed sensor or a dead battery. Once, after resetting, the light came back on after driving a few kilometers—turned out there was a nail in the tire causing a slow leak. Remember to perform the tire pressure reset with the engine off and in P gear; you can't set it while driving. It's recommended to check tire pressure monthly, don't wait for the warning light to come on.
