Video tutorial

In this video we see how to reset the brake pad warning light on the BMW X1 E84: if we have replaced the pads and the reset sensor (which is disposable, and there is one for each axle); it must always be replaced every time it activates the warning; it cannot be physically reset.

Turn on the instrument panel; press and hold the "BC" button located on the left side of the turn signal lever for about 10 seconds, until the menu appears on the instrument panel: always with the same button we find the "vehicle info" and scroll until we reach "brake status" and select with "BC". A message like "reset" will appear.

Press and hold the "BC" button for a few seconds until a visual confirmation appears. At this point, turn off the vehicle.

Wait 30 seconds and turn on the instrument panel for verification.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a MG ZS?

On the instrument cluster of the MG ZS, the tire pressure light that appears can be reset by inflating the tires to the correct pressure: this value will be indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tires have been properly inflated, you can turn on the instrument cluster and navigate through the menu until you find the option that indicates tire pressure: if this screen shows the new values, the light will turn off; otherwise, you will need to drive for a few miles so that the sensors can read the new values and turn off the light afterward.
