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.

How to Charge the BYD Song Plus-DMI?

Here are the charging methods for the BYD Song Plus-DMI: 1. Install a wall-mounted charging station. When purchasing the car, the manufacturer provides a home wall-mounted charging station. The prerequisite is having your own parking space and obtaining approval from the property management of the residential area. The charging power of the wall-mounted charging station is 3.3KW. In actual use, the charging power is around 3KW. 2. Use public charging stations. Public charging stations generally come in two types: DC charging stations and AC charging stations. The BYD Song Plus-DMI hybrid model does not support DC fast charging. When searching for public charging stations, look for AC charging stations and avoid DC charging stations, as you might not be able to charge even if you drive there. 3. Use the portable charger provided with the car. When purchasing the car, the manufacturer includes a portable home charger. Simply plug it into a 220V household socket to charge, but the actual charging power is only around 1.5KW. Using the portable charger, the time to charge from 0 to full is 16.9kWh/1.5KW=11.3 hours.

What to Do If the Rear of the Car Crosses the Line During Reverse Parking?

If the rear of the car crosses the line during reverse parking, you can drive the car back to the starting point and use the second chance to retake the test, because crossing the line during reverse parking results in a deduction of 100 points, making the test unsuccessful. Other actions that also result in a 100-point deduction include the vehicle body crossing the line, failing to enter the parking space, stopping midway, not following the prescribed route, not following the sequence, or exceeding the time limit. The full score for Subject 2 is 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failure, 20-point deductions, 10-point deductions, and 5-point deductions. The rules for the Subject 2 driving test state that stopping midway, rolling back, or not following the voice prompts will result in failure. Additionally, if the wheels or the body of the car cross the line, the test will also be considered unsuccessful. During Subject 2 training, many learners encounter the issue of crossing the line, and "crossing the line" is the most common reason for failing the test. The main cause of crossing the line is the learner not mastering the correct timing for steering. Apart from missing the right moment to steer, another reason could be that the speed of steering does not match the speed of the car. Subject 2 Deduction Standards: Not wearing a seatbelt: Deduct 100 points. Starting the engine without the gear in neutral: Deduct 100 points. Not using the turn signal (including starting, changing lanes, overtaking, turning, or parking); turning on the turn signal for less than three seconds (note: this is easily overlooked!); forgetting to turn off the turn signal or using it incorrectly: Deduct 10 points. Stalling once: Deduct 10 points. Reverse Parking: Not following the prescribed route sequence: Deduct 100 points. Vehicle body crossing the line: Deduct 100 points. Failing to park properly: Deduct 100 points. Before reversing, if the two front wheels do not pass the control line: Deduct 100 points. Exceeding the 210-second time limit: Deduct 100 points. Stopping for more than 2 seconds midway: Deduct 5 points each time. Slope Parking and Starting: After stopping, if the front bumper is not aligned with the pole line and exceeds 50 cm forward or backward: Deduct 100 points. After stopping, if the front bumper is not aligned with the pole line but does not exceed 50 cm forward or backward: Deduct 10 points. After stopping, if the starting time exceeds 30 seconds: Deduct 100 points. Driving with wheels crossing the road edge line: Deduct 100 points. Starting with the car rolling back more than 30 cm: Deduct 100 points. After stopping, if the car body is more than 50 cm from the road edge line: Deduct 100 points. After parking, not tightening the parking brake: Deduct 10 points per occurrence. After stopping, if the car body is between 30 cm and 50 cm from the road edge line: Deduct 10 points per occurrence. Starting with the car rolling back between 10 cm and 30 cm: Deduct 5 points per occurrence. Parallel Parking: After parking, if the car body crosses the line: Deduct 100 points. Not using or incorrectly using the turn signal when entering the parking space: Deduct 10 points. Exceeding the 90-second time limit: Deduct 100 points. Touching the parking space edge line with the car body while driving: Deduct 10 points per occurrence. Crossing the lane edge line with the wheels while driving: Deduct 10 points per occurrence. Stopping for more than 2 seconds midway: Deduct 5 points per occurrence. 90-Degree Turn: Crossing the road edge line with the wheels: Deduct 100 points. Not using or incorrectly using the turn signal during the turn, or not turning it off after the turn: Deduct 10 points. Stopping for more than 2 seconds midway: Deduct 5 points per occurrence. S-Curve Driving: Crossing the road edge line with the wheels: Deduct 100 points. Stopping for more than 2 seconds midway: Deduct 100 points. Driving without the gear in second or higher: Deduct 5 points.

What Do the Gears in an Automatic Transmission Mean?

Here is a detailed introduction to the gears in an automatic transmission: 1. P (Park): Engage P gear after parking to prevent the vehicle from rolling, especially when parking on a slope. 2. R (Reverse): Reverse gear. Engage R gear when the vehicle needs to reverse. Only shift into R gear after the vehicle has come to a complete stop. Shifting into R gear before the vehicle stops can damage the transmission. 3. N (Neutral): When in N gear, the vehicle can coast. However, coasting in N gear is strictly prohibited for automatic transmissions, as it can significantly impact the engine, transmission, and driving safety. 4. D (Drive): Forward or drive gear, the most commonly used gear. Engage D gear when the vehicle needs to move forward, which drives the vehicle ahead. When in D gear, the transmission automatically adjusts the appropriate gear based on engine speed and load to maintain the vehicle within the desired speed range. 5. S (Sport): Sport mode. In S gear, the automatic transmission can mimic manual control, allowing the engine to maintain higher RPMs for longer periods, providing greater power and a more dynamic driving experience. 6. L (Low): Low gear. This gear can act as an engine brake. Use L gear when going downhill to prevent the brake pads from overheating due to prolonged braking, which could lead to brake failure.

What are the differences between high beam, low beam, and fog light symbols?

Differences between high beam, low beam, and fog light symbols: 1. High beam: A circle represents the headlight, and a horizontal line represents the light beam. This is a straight beam. As the name suggests, high beam needs to shine farther by directing the light straight ahead. It is typically used in rural or suburban areas with insufficient street lighting. 2. Low beam: A circle represents the headlight, and several downward-slanted lines represent the light beam. The light is angled downward to illuminate the road ahead, as driving would be impossible at night without seeing the road surface. It is commonly used in urban areas. 3. Fog light: A circle represents the headlight, a horizontal line represents the light beam, and a curved line represents fog. In foggy conditions, light doesn't travel far, so the symbol includes a curved line blocking the light. Front and rear fog lights are easier to remember: if the light is at the front, it's the front fog light; if it's at the back, it's the rear fog light. It is typically used in rain, fog, or snow. In extreme weather, it's better to turn on the fog lights rather than hazard lights.
