BMW Serie 1 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 1 F20, F21, MK 2 - Years 2011-2019
Part: Gearbox
Operation: How do you drive the automatic transmission of a BMW?

In this video, we see how to use the automatic transmission of a BMW 1 Series. R stands for reverse, N for neutral, which is the neutral gear, D for drive, which is the normal gear, and P stands for parking. M/S is used if you want to use manual mode. To switch between positions, we need to use the button located on the left side (unlock), place our right foot on the brake, and the indicator light will turn on. If we want to park, we place our foot on the brake and press the "p" button located above the lever. We start the engine, we are on "p", and with unlock, we go to "D", release the handbrake, and start driving. If we go to "R", we release the brake and go backwards. If we want to drive in manual mode, we go to "D" and move the lever to the left. The "M/S" light turns on, and we pull it towards us to shift gears (the gear number will appear on the display). If we want to downshift, we push it. If we want to stop, we press the "P" button for parking, with our foot on the brake.

How to reset the on-board computer of the Peugeot 208?

Resetting the Peugeot 208's on-board computer, the system called SMEG, is very simple. We can do this in case the system shows signs of malfunction, freezes, or in any other case where a restart could solve the problem. To reboot, simply hold down the two keys located in the lower left corner of the computer at the same time. After a few seconds, the SMEG system display will switch off, the Peugeot logo will appear and the start-up procedure will start. We wait patiently for the restart to complete as it may take some time.
