Is the cigarette lighter not working? Has the fuse blown? Here’s how to replace the fuse. Use a plastic lever to remove the cover on the dashboard on the driver's side (left side of the vehicle).

Once you locate the fuses, use needle-nose pliers to pull out the damaged fuses from the compartment. After this, insert the new fuses into the designated slots in the fuse box. Test the vehicle's operation by turning on the ignition with the appropriate key. Close the fuse inspection box with the plastic cover.

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.
