Here’s how to reset the service light on a 2013 BMW i3: Turn on the ignition by pressing the Start button once without touching the brake pedal. The lights and messages will illuminate on the display.

On the left (or right) side of the display, depending on the version, you will find a button. It is usually a small bar or arrow-shaped button, recessed into the dashboard edge.

Press and hold the button until "Reset possible" (or a similar message) appears on the display. Release the button.

Press the button again to confirm the reset. The display will show "Reset" or "Calculating". Press the button a third time to proceed.

Release and press again to confirm.

The display will show "Reset successful". Exit the service mode by pressing the button once or twice until you return to the normal screen.

What does the red or orange zig-zag warning light mean on the Dacia Sandero?

In this video, you will learn what the warning light depicting a red or orange zig-zag on the dashboard of the Dacia Sandero means. This is a multifunction warning light; if it appears red, it is a prompt to stop as soon as possible, switch off the engine, and exit the vehicle quickly, contacting a recovery service and the Dacia Dealer. If it lights up orange, it indicates an electronic fault in the vehicle; you can continue driving, but you must reach a Dacia service centre as soon as possible. If it lights up alongside the spanner symbol, it means it is time for a service, which is due every year or 10,000 miles (whichever comes first). The service is mandatory to maintain the warranty. If it lights up together with the tyre warning light, it indicates a loss of pressure in one of the tyres. You should check all the tyres as soon as possible to identify the source of the pressure loss. If it stays on with the engine warning light, it indicates a problem with the vehicle's emissions system; if it flashes, the issue may be a component of the engine, such as the spark plugs or coil, for example. On diesel versions, it may light up alongside the glow plug symbol, indicating a related issue. If it lights up with the ESP symbol, it means there is a fault in the system that needs checking.
