What is the method to reset the maintenance light on the all-new Bora?

[MacBrynlee]

The method to reset the maintenance light on the all-new Bora is: 1. Turn on the ignition switch; 2. Press and hold the reset button with your left hand, then turn off the ignition switch with your right hand; 3. Keep holding the reset button with your left hand until the dashboard displays nothing, then release your left hand; 4. Restart the vehicle and check if the reset was successful. The new Bora is built on Volkswagen's MQB A1 platform, making it the first China-exclusive model on this platform. It features Volkswagen's latest family design, including a one-piece front fascia and an upward-sloping waistline. The new Bora has an increased wheelbase of 74mm to 2688mm, with body dimensions of 4663mm in length, 1815mm in width, and 1462mm in height.

Hey, my Bora just had its maintenance done, and the maintenance light staying on is really annoying. The method I figured out is: First, turn the car to the power-on state but don't start the engine. Then look at the row of buttons on the left side of the steering wheel, find the 'VIEW' button and press it once. A menu will pop up on the screen. Next, use the directional keys to navigate left or right to find the 'Settings and Services' option and press into it. Inside, find the prompt for 'Reset Vehicle Condition Check.' At this point, you need to press and hold the 'OK' button on the right side of the steering wheel for about 5 seconds. A small wrench-shaped yellow light on the dashboard will flash a few times and then go off! Finally, turn off the power and restart the car to check—if the light doesn't come back on, you've succeeded. Be patient during the operation; pressing for too short a time will cause the reset to fail.

Last time I went for maintenance, I specifically asked the technician to teach me how to operate the service light. It's actually quite simple: First, sit in the driver's seat and turn the key to the ignition position (just make sure the dashboard lights up). Then locate the wiper control lever behind the left side of the steering wheel—there's a switch at the top of the lever that can be pressed up and down. Press and hold it downward, then turn the key off and back to the ignition position (make sure not to start the engine). Keep holding the switch until the message 'Perform vehicle inspection now' appears on the center screen of the dashboard. At this point, release the switch and immediately press the button at the top of the lever to reset the service light. I noticed that the procedure seems slightly different between the 2019 and 2021 Bora models, so it's best to check the manual first to confirm the exact steps.

As a seasoned driver who's owned three generations of Volkswagens, I can reset the service light with my eyes closed. Remember three key actions: power on → long press → confirm. Specifically, turn the key to the position where all dashboard lights illuminate, then immediately press and hold the '0.0' button below the instrument cluster (some models have it on the right side of the tachometer). The screen will display an English prompt asking 'Confirm to reset service data?' – keep holding until the display changes to '--' before releasing. The entire process takes about 10 seconds, and the wrench icon disappears instantly after reset. This essentially informs the ECU that maintenance is complete. If you don't reset it, the reminder will persist at next startup, potentially causing you to miss critical service intervals.
