How to Use the Bora Tiptronic?
2 Answers
The usage method of the Bora Tiptronic is as follows: 1. Shift the gear lever to the M position to use the manual mode; 2. For automatic gear positions, D is the drive gear, R is the reverse gear, P is the parking gear, L is the low-speed gear, N is the neutral gear, E is the economy mode, and S is the sport mode. Below is some related information about the Bora: 1. Taking the 2021 Bora as an example, it is a compact car with body dimensions of 4663mm in length, 1815mm in width, and 1462mm in height, a wheelbase of 2688mm, a minimum ground clearance of 126mm, a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, a trunk capacity of 506 liters, and a curb weight of 1320kg. 2. The new Bora is equipped with two types of engines: a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine and a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine.
When I first drove the Bora with Tiptronic transmission, I found it quite simple. For daily driving, the D (Drive) automatic mode is completely sufficient. When encountering long downhill stretches or steep slopes, I would push the gear lever to the right to engage manual mode, with the dashboard displaying M1, M2, and other gear positions. To downshift, I pull the lever backward, using engine braking to control speed, reducing the need for heavy braking. For overtaking, manually downshifting can raise the RPM, providing quicker acceleration than the D mode. Starting in manual 2nd gear on slippery rainy roads also offers better stability. There's no need to press the clutch for shifting, making it especially suitable for beginners like me transitioning from automatic transmissions. The key is that you can switch modes without stopping—just operate it while driving.
