Where is the tire pressure reset button on the Bora?
2 Answers
The tire pressure reset button on the Bora is located in front of the right side of the gear lever, marked with a "SET" sign. The Bora's tire pressure monitoring system is an indirect type that monitors tire pressure through the ABS system, without numerical display. Normally, there's no need to press it. When there's a problem with the tires, a tire pressure warning light will appear on the dashboard, indicating an issue that requires inspection. The Bora is a compact car launched by FAW-Volkswagen, with dimensions of 4663mm in length, 1815mm in width, and 1462mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2688mm. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 83kw, paired with either a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission.
I just bought a Volkswagen Bora, and as a beginner driver, I get a bit nervous when the tire pressure warning light comes on. Actually, the reset button is quite easy to find—it’s usually located near the panel on the left side of the steering wheel, marked with either 'SET' or a tire symbol. The steps are straightforward: first, inflate all tires to the standard pressure, typically between 2.3 and 2.4 bar (check your owner’s manual for the exact value). Then, start the car (don’t turn it off) and press and hold the button for about 3-5 seconds. The tire pressure light on the dashboard will blink and then turn off, indicating the system has been reset. After resetting, drive for a few minutes to let the system auto-calibrate. If you can’t find the button as a beginner, your new car might have a touchscreen—in that case, go to the central control settings menu, select the vehicle options, and click 'TPMS Reset.' I’ve tried it once myself—it’s not difficult. Just remember to ensure the tire pressure is correct before resetting to avoid issues on the road. Also, regular tire pressure checks during maintenance can extend tire life and ensure safety.
