How to Turn Off the Radio in a Bora Car?
4 Answers
The method to turn off the radio in a Bora car is to turn the volume adjustment knob counterclockwise to the end. The Bora is a compact 4-door, 5-seat sedan with body dimensions of 4663mm in length, 1815mm in width, and 1462mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2688mm and a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. The Bora is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering a maximum power of 85 kilowatts and a maximum torque of 200 Newton-meters. It features front-wheel drive, with a front suspension using a MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension employing a torsion beam non-independent suspension.
I've been driving a Bora for over two years and have figured out how to turn off the radio. The most straightforward way is to press the round knob on the center console (the one for adjusting volume) firmly until you hear a 'click' sound, which shuts down the entire system. For models with a large screen, it's even simpler—just swipe down the menu from the bottom edge of the screen and tap the speaker icon to turn it off. There's also a mute button on the left side of the steering wheel; holding it down for three seconds will completely power off the system. However, it's important to note that if you turn off the car directly, the radio will automatically turn on the next time you start the car, so it's best to manually turn it off. When parked and waiting, I prefer to completely turn off the audio system, otherwise the battery drains quite quickly, especially in older cars where the battery is more prone to losing charge.
All three cars in my family are from the Volkswagen group, and there's actually a clever way to turn off the radio in the Bora. Just press the power button on the center console once, which is usually marked with a power symbol or the letters VOL. For models with touchscreens, you can also set a shortcut in the vehicle settings. The multifunction button area on the left side of the steering wheel generally has a mute button, and holding it down will turn off the radio. Another little trick I've discovered: if you insert a USB drive while listening to the radio, the system will automatically switch to USB playback, effectively turning off the radio. I often do this at traffic lights to avoid the annoyance of advertisements.
Just helped my neighbor adjust her new Bora last week. Turning off the radio depends on the model configuration. For older models, simply press the POWER button on the center console. For newer models with voice control, holding the voice button on the steering wheel and saying 'turn off entertainment system' is the easiest. Touchscreen models have a quick switch in the bottom menu bar. Noticed a detail: the Bora's system automatically turns off after engine shutdown and door opening, but the radio defaults to on at ignition. It's recommended to manually turn it off before driving for safety.
