What to do if we are unable to reset the brake light on a BMW vehicle

Model: BMW BMW Various
Part: Warning light – error code

Video tutorial

In this video we can see what to do if we are unable to reset the brake pad warning light on a BMW car: the door must be closed or manually locked, and make sure the hood and trunk are properly closed. We will then find in the course of the video that it is also necessary to deactivate the handbrake button, or the reset will not be successful this time either.

Then press the start button three times: this activates the diagnostic mode. Clear the messages with the BC button, holding it down.

If the display continues to give the error message regarding the brake pads, by holding down this button, it will offer to reset. If we want to do this, press and hold down the BC button again.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
