The Bora Tiptronic transmission is used as follows: 1. Shift the gear to M mode to use manual transmission; 2. For automatic transmission gears: D is drive gear, R is reverse gear, P is parking gear, L is low gear, N is neutral gear, E is economy mode, and S is sport mode. Taking the 2021 Bora as an example, it is a compact car with body dimensions of 4663mm in length, 1815mm in width, 1462mm in height, a wheelbase of 2688mm, a minimum ground clearance of 126mm, a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, a luggage compartment volume of 506 liters, and a curb weight of 1320kg.

Having driven a Volkswagen Bora with Tiptronic transmission for over a decade, I find its daily operations most practical. Start by pressing the brake to ignite, shift the gear lever to D mode, release the handbrake, and you're ready to go – fully automatic mode suits city commuting perfectly. When manual control is desired, simply push the gear lever to the right during driving to enter M mode, with current gear displayed on the dashboard. Pull up to upshift and push down to downshift, simulating manual driving without clutch operation. Downshift to 2nd gear for fiercer throttle response during overtaking, use 1st gear in traffic jams to prevent frequent gear changes, and manually lock lower gears on long descents to save brake pads. Remember to shift to N mode, engage the handbrake before P mode when parking to protect the transmission. The gear lever automatically returns to P mode after engine shutdown – a thoughtful feature.

What is the recommended tire pressure for sedans in winter?

The recommended tire pressure for sedans in winter is between 2.4 to 2.5 bar. Vehicle tire pressure varies depending on different conditions: 1. Seasonal factors: In winter, it is advisable to increase the standard tire pressure by 0.2 bar, while in summer, the standard tire pressure should be reduced by 0.1 bar; 2. Tire condition: For new tires, the pressure should be increased by 0.2 bar compared to the standard tire pressure. Hazards of abnormal tire pressure: 1. Excessive tire pressure increases the risk of a blowout, causing the middle part of the tire to bulge and contact the ground, significantly reducing the vehicle's grip on the road and failing to provide sufficient friction during emergency braking; 2. Insufficient tire pressure causes the outer edges of the tire to contact the ground, preventing the entire tread from making contact, increasing wear on the sidewalls while failing to provide adequate grip area. Frequent wear on the thinnest part of the sidewalls can directly lead to premature tire failure.
