2020 Bora maintenance reset button is located below the instrument panel. Here are the specific details about the Bora: Power system: The entire lineup is equipped with Volkswagen Group's latest generation EA211 series all-aluminum engines, offering two power options: 1.5L and 1.4TSI, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, 6-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission, or 7-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission. This enhances power performance while reducing fuel consumption, achieving energy efficiency and environmental protection, meeting Euro 5 emission standards. Configuration: The Bora features a cruise control system, standard EPB electronic parking brake and Auto-hold automatic parking function across the lineup, and is equipped with a multi-function electric seat that provides 6-way electric adjustment. The luxury model also includes seat heating function.

When driving my 2020 Bora, I noticed that there isn’t a dedicated physical button for maintenance reset—it’s done through the instrument cluster controls. The exact location is near the steering wheel: after turning off the ignition, you need to press and hold the small dot or the button marked ‘0.0’ on the instrument panel without releasing it. Then, turn the key to the ‘on’ position (without starting the engine), and a menu will pop up on the instrument cluster asking if you want to reset. Continue holding until the confirmation option appears, then release. The whole process is simple and takes just a minute or two. Once done, the maintenance reminder light will turn off; otherwise, it might mislead you into thinking it’s time for service. I must say, it’s best to refer to the owner’s manual for the exact location diagram, as button positions may vary slightly between models. From my own experience, the car feels smoother to drive after each reset. Developing a habit of regularly checking dashboard information can help avoid major issues later and extend engine life.

As a veteran driver with over a decade of experience driving Volkswagen cars, I know firsthand how convenient the maintenance reset setting is on the 2020 Bora. The reset button is actually hidden in the multifunction control area of the steering wheel, not as a standalone button. You need to turn off the engine first, then use the left/right directional buttons or mode button on the steering wheel to navigate to the vehicle settings menu on the instrument panel. Find the 'Service' or 'Maintenance' option, enter it, and reset the maintenance reminder. The system is designed quite user-friendly, requiring no additional tools. Just follow the on-screen instructions carefully step by step during operation. I recommend checking that the fuse isn't blown and the wiring hasn't aged before resetting. If the reset is successful, the maintenance alarm will stop. A reminder: Delayed reset might cause misjudgment, postponing the next maintenance schedule and increasing repair costs. It's also a good practice to consult technicians at the 4S shop.

When I first got my 2020 Bora, I didn't know where the maintenance reset was. Later, I figured out it's operated in the instrument cluster display area. There's no traditional key-shaped button; the reset relies on a button combination: After turning off the ignition, hold the small button on the instrument panel edge (usually marked with '0.0' icon), turn on the ignition without starting the engine, and release when the service reset appears on the screen. Simply put, the button is within the driver's line of sight. If unsuccessful, try checking the manual or searching online for video guides to learn. The reset is essential as it helps you track maintenance progress and prevents annoying constant warning light flashes.
