The Mini Cooper allows you, like many other vehicles, to reset the service light yourself, which indicates when to change the engine oil, filters, or, as shown in the video, to replace the brake pads. Once the instrument panel is on, press the button at the end of the left lever on the steering wheel, access the Settings, and select the option related to the brakes.

Next, press the button located to the right of the rev counter, at the bottom, and select the Reset option, then activate it by pressing the aforementioned lever button again.
