How do you reset the Service light on the Volkswagen Tiguan?

Model: Volkswagen Tiguan 5N, MK 1 - Years 2007-2016
Part: Service warning light

The Service indicator that appears on the instrument panel of the Volkswagen Tiguan can be reset by turning on the instrument panel, inserting the ignition key into the ignition switch: once the latter has been turned on, you can navigate through the menu using the button on the right lever of the steering wheel, until you find "Settings". By selecting it with the button below the lever, you can proceed by selecting "Service" and then "Reset": this way the Service indicator will turn off completely from the instrument panel, which can in turn be turned off by turning the key back.

How to Adjust the Handbrake on a BMW 1 Series?

To adjust the handbrake on a BMW 1 Series, use a tool to pry off the leather cover that wraps around the base of the handbrake lever. Once this cover is removed, you will be able to locate the spring that regulates the handbrake tension. At this point, adjust the nut located at the base of the spring: tightening the nut will make the handbrake firmer and reduce the lever's travel. Conversely, loosening the nut will decrease the handbrake's firmness and increase the lever's travel.
