Where is the tire pressure reset button on the Bora?

The tire pressure reset button on the Bora is located to the right front of the gear lever. The Bora's tire pressure monitoring system is an indirect type, and the reset button is marked with 'SET'. Tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tires, which is like the blood pressure of a car. The level of tire pressure plays a crucial role in the car's performance and power. The Bora is a compact car under FAW-Volkswagen, with dimensions of 4663mm in length, 1815mm in width, and 1462mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2688mm. The Bora is equipped with two engines: a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine and a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine.
I recently noticed the tire pressure warning light came on while driving, so I went to reset it. The tire pressure reset button for the Bora is usually located near the instrument panel below the left side of the steering wheel, where you'll see a button with a tire icon. The operation is simple: first, park and turn off the engine, ensuring the car is in a safe place, then press and hold that button for a few seconds. When the tire pressure indicator on the dashboard flashes, it means the reset is complete. Normally, the system alerts you to abnormal tire pressure, and resetting allows it to relearn the pressure values. This is important because unstable tire pressure not only increases fuel consumption but may also lead to tire blowouts or loss of control, especially at high speeds, which poses significant risks. I personally check the tire pressure regularly, keeping it around 2.3-2.5 bar. The reset button location is generally consistent across most Bora models. If you can't find it, refer to the owner's manual for detailed instructions. Developing good habits can reduce driving hassles, save fuel, and give you peace of mind.
I've driven several cars, and the tire pressure reset design of the Volkswagen Bora is quite user-friendly. The tire pressure reset button is located in the small button area on the left side of the steering wheel, usually the one with a tire symbol. The operation is simple: after the car is stationary, press and hold the button for five to ten seconds until the dashboard light flashes, indicating a successful reset. When the tire pressure monitoring system detects a change in pressure and triggers an alarm, resetting will clear the error record. I recommend you try it too—after resetting, drive for a while to let the system relearn. Incorrect tire pressure can lead to uneven tire wear and even accidents, so I check and adjust it every season. If you can't find the physical button, some newer versions of the Bora may have the tire pressure reset option in the vehicle settings menu on the central display screen. Don’t be afraid to operate it—it’s very intuitive and safe.
