Whenever you change the engine oil and filter, and thus perform the service on the vehicle, you will need to clear and update the service indication that lights up on the dashboard. To do this, follow this tutorial and the instructions below, also taking a look at the video: first, access the driver's seat, turn on the ignition, and press the accelerator and brake pedals down simultaneously.

Keep these two pedals pressed until the display shows the indication "service reset in progress," and after a few seconds, the indication will disappear.

How to Adjust the Rear Seats of the BMW X1

In this video, see how the BMW X1's cargo area can be used to transport large loads. To expand this area, the rear seat can be folded down with a 40/20/40 split, each section can be folded separately or all together. The seats can be adjusted independently to provide more space for passengers or cargo: to do this, pull the handle located at the bottom and push or pull as needed. To position the backrest in the desired position, there is a cordura handle on the left side. Inside the trunk, there are buttons that automatically fold the backrests of the rear seats forward, but only after ensuring they are clear. They can be returned to an upright position manually using the cordura handle.
