How to Reset the Service Light on a BMW 1 Series?

Model: BMW Serie 1 MK 2, F20, F21 - Years 2011-2019
Part: Service warning light

When the Service light on your BMW 1 Series illuminates, it indicates that routine maintenance is due soon. This is scheduled based on either the mileage reached or the time elapsed, so you won't get confused. Additionally, by consulting the vehicle's manual, you will discover what type of maintenance is required, such as timing belt, brakes, etc. Now, let's proceed to the reset: with the instrument cluster on, press the button on the odometer to access the Settings, scroll through the options using the button on the left side of the steering wheel, and with the button located at the end of the same lever, reset the light by holding it down for a few seconds.
