How to reset the tire pressure warning on the New Bora?
3 Answers
New Bora tire pressure warning reset method: There is a tire monitoring indicator button on the center console. After the system issues a low tire pressure warning, the car must remain stationary for about one minute. Do not move the car or turn off and restart the ignition switch until you press the button to recalibrate the tire monitoring indicator. Find the tire pressure reset option in the settings on the center display. If none of the above methods work, you will need to visit a 4S store to reset the tire pressure warning. What to do if the tire pressure is insufficient: If no damage is visible, you can simply inflate the tire to the normal pressure and then reset the tire pressure system. If upon inspection you find that the tire has been punctured, drive to a tire shop promptly to have it repaired and then reinflate the tire. If the tire pressure warning reappears some time after inflating, but there is no puncture, it may be due to air leakage caused by a deformed wheel hub. It is recommended to check the wheel hub and replace it if necessary.
When the tire pressure warning light comes on, I don't panic at all because I have firsthand experience with the New Bora. First, you need to pull over and check if the air pressure in all tires is normal. The standard values are usually listed on the label on the driver's side door frame, such as around 2.3-2.5 bar. If the tire pressure is fine, it might be a false alarm, so just start the engine. Find the multifunction button on the steering wheel, press it a few times to enter the dashboard menu, scroll to 'Settings' or 'System Maintenance,' select 'Tire Pressure Monitoring System,' and then press and hold the OK button for about 5 seconds to reset it. If the warning persists, you should visit a repair shop to check for an actual leak. By the way, maintaining balanced tire pressure can save fuel, improve efficiency, and extend tire life by at least a year. I usually check the tire pressure myself every two months, and after making it a habit, driving feels more secure. Don't wait until the alarm becomes frequent, as it can accelerate wear on suspension components, which are expensive to replace.
I've been driving the new Bora for several years, and dealing with the tire pressure warning is quite simple. First, use a tire pressure gauge to check each tire to ensure the pressure is appropriate. If there's no air leakage, just reset it. After starting the car, use the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel to navigate to the vehicle status menu, find the 'Tire Pressure Reset' option, and hold the confirm button for a few seconds to complete the reset. Usually, avoid overloading or driving on rough roads, as the air pressure can fluctuate easily. Frequent warnings may indicate that the sensor is dirty or that temperature changes are causing false signals. Try resetting it yourself; if that doesn't work, go to a professional shop for inspection. Developing a habit of regular maintenance saves money and ensures safety, at least avoiding the danger of unexpected tire damage on the road.
