Operation: How to reset the brake pad warning light in the BMW 3 Series?

In the BMW 3 Series, after replacing the brake pads, we will have to manually reset the relative warning light on the dashboard. In this tutorial we can see how to proceed. First of all we turn on the instrument panel, after which we remove any possible signal in the display and hold down the left button, located under the speedometer, for the time necessary to enter the maintenance menu. Once this is done, with a quick press of the button, we scroll through the various services available in order to reach that of the pads. Finally, we hold down the same button once to start the reset, and a second time to confirm it.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
