Where is the tire pressure reset button on the new Bora?
2 Answers
New Bora's tire pressure reset button is located near the gear shift, marked with the letters 'SET'. Turn the key to the 'on' position without starting the engine, then press and hold the SET button to reset. The Bora's tire pressure monitoring is an indirect system that uses the ABS to monitor tire pressure without numerical display. When there is a tire issue, a yellow warning icon indicating tire pressure problems will appear on the dashboard, signaling the need for inspection. The Bora is FAW-Volkswagen's first independently designed model. In terms of body dimensions, it measures 4523mm in length, 1775mm in width, 1467mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2610mm.
I used to drive Volkswagen models for a long time, including the New Bora. The tire pressure reset button isn't a traditional physical button—it's located in the vehicle's electronic system. You need to start the engine or turn the key to the ON position first, but don't drive the car. Then, look at the multifunction buttons on the steering wheel, usually on the right side, where there are up/down/left/right keys and an OK button. Use the left/right keys to navigate to the vehicle settings menu, where you'll find a tire option. Locate the tire pressure monitoring reset function, press and hold the OK button for a few seconds until the screen prompts that the reset is successful. Before resetting, make sure all tire pressures are correctly adjusted; otherwise, the system might trigger false warning lights after resetting. I recommend performing a reset every time you change tires or during maintenance to maintain system accuracy, which helps avoid driving safety hazards. Volkswagen's design is quite smart, and the operation isn't complicated—it only takes about 30 seconds to complete. The manual also has instructions, but the actual in-car operation is smoother.
