How to check the functioning of the instrument panel of the Mini R56

Model: Mini Mini R56, R57, R55 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Instrument cluster

In this video we can see how to check the functioning of the lights of all the dashboard indicators as well as the needles of all the gauges on the onboard computer. There is in fact an easy system to give a general check of all the indicators; all the indicator lights will light up simultaneously and all the gauge needles will move to confirm the exact functioning. We must press and hold down the two buttons located at the base of the central panel of the tachometer, right in front of the steering wheel. All the lights will light up, the needles will reach the end of their range and all the LEDs will illuminate, to verify their proper functioning. Then they will turn off and return to their normal state.
