In this video, you will learn how to reset the brake pad warning on the BMW X1. In the tutorial, you can see how to replace the pads when the system alerts you that they are worn. Once the replacement is done, move to the cabin and turn on the instrument cluster.

The brake warning light will still appear on the dashboard. Start pressing the BC button located on the lever to the left of the steering wheel until the time appears on the dashboard.

At this point, press and hold the button to the left of the odometer that resets the miles. Eventually, a menu will appear indicating various functions of the car. Stop at the menu highlighted in red and press the button again until it asks 'Execute reset?' Press again to confirm and wait for the reset to complete.

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.
