The Service indicator of the BMW 1 Series can be reset by turning on the instrument panel and letting all error messages disappear from the display. When the main screen is shown, you will need to hold down the button on the bottom left of the instrument panel until the car icon on a lift is displayed.

At this point, you will need to hold down the BC button located on the lever to the left of the steering wheel. An clock icon will appear, and once it disappears, it will indicate that the Service reset procedure has been done correctly.
