What is the reset method for the Bora maintenance reminder?
2 Answers
Bora maintenance reminder reset method is: 1. With the key in the off position, press and hold the SET button, then turn on the ignition; 2. The dashboard will display a wrench or letter indicator, release the SET button and press the left button to complete the reset. The Bora is a compact car under FAW-Volkswagen. Taking the 2021 Bora Comfort Smart Connect Edition as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4663mm, width 1815mm, height 1462mm, with a wheelbase of 2688mm. The 2021 Bora Comfort Smart Connect Edition is equipped with a 1.2L turbocharged engine, delivering maximum horsepower of 116hp, maximum power of 85kW, and maximum power speed at 5000rpm.
I think resetting the maintenance reminder on the Bora is quite easy. I've repaired several cars myself, and the key lies in the sequence of steps: park the car on level ground with the engine off, turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine, which powers up the system without wasting fuel. Then press and hold the reset button on the dashboard—usually a small round button—for about five seconds until the maintenance reset prompt appears on the screen, then release. Some older models have stiffer buttons, while newer ones use steering wheel button combinations. Ensure the car battery voltage is stable during the process to avoid mid-operation failure due to engine stalling. If the light doesn’t go off, it’s likely due to insufficient button pressure or wiring issues—try a few more times or visit a reliable repair shop. Resetting promptly lets the car record the new maintenance schedule, preventing future glitches and ensuring smooth system operation, which is quite hassle-free.
