What is the method to reset the oil maintenance light on a Bora car?
4 Answers
Simply turn off the engine and rotate the key to lock the steering wheel to reset the oil maintenance light. Here are detailed introductions about the Bora car: 1. Overview: The Bora is the first independently designed model by FAW-Volkswagen, hailed as a new car that "inherits and surpasses the classics." In the European market, the Bora was designed as a competitive model against the BMW 3 Series, Audi A4, and Opel Vectra. 2. Others: Since its launch, the Bora has been highly favored by the backbone of society for its dignified and generous appearance, outstanding safety and comfort performance, and excellent German manufacturing quality. Its solid and full, simple yet stylish wedge-shaped design, combined with powerful driving equipment, fully satisfies the joy of driving.
As someone who has personally maintained several cars, resetting the maintenance light on a Bora is actually a simple process that can be done in a few steps. First, power on the car without starting the engine—turn the key to the ON position or press the start button twice. Then, locate the 0.0 button with a square frame on the dashboard, usually found at the lower right of the speedometer. Press and hold it firmly for at least five seconds until the maintenance menu pops up on the central display, then release your finger. Next, quickly press the button once to enter the reset option. When you see the confirmation prompt, press it again to complete the reset. Finally, turn off the power and restart the engine—the oil maintenance light on the dashboard should go off. Note that older Bora models may require using the multifunction steering wheel buttons. Before attempting this, it's advisable to clean the button as grease may cause poor contact.
Last time, right after I had my Baojun serviced, I encountered a warning light issue. The procedure is actually quite straightforward: After sitting in the driver's seat, don't press the brake pedal—first press the start button to power up the instrument cluster. Locate the small button marked 0.0 on the dashboard and press it firmly with your thumb. The screen will momentarily dim and then brighten again, displaying the oil service interface—that's when you can release the button. Immediately press it once more to select the reset option and confirm. The whole process takes less than ten seconds, but the key is accurately finding the button's location. On some older models, this button is positioned at the tip of the turn signal stalk on the left side of the steering wheel—keep your finger steady during operation. It took me a few tries to realize that pressing too lightly won't trigger a response.
Bora owners should remember to reset the maintenance reminder light after each oil change. This light is essentially a counter reset for the reminder system, and failing to reset it may lead to misjudgment for the next service. For older Bora models, the procedure is: With the engine off, press and hold the clock button on the dashboard while turning the key to the ignition-on position, and keep pressing until the wrench icon starts flashing. Newer models have switched to the 0.0 button method: With the vehicle powered on, press and hold the button for three seconds, then press it repeatedly to complete the reset. It's recommended to test if the reset was successful by turning on the light switch after the operation. Performing the reset during daylight is advised to avoid forgetting to turn off the lights and draining the battery, and the entire process should not exceed two minutes.
