Methods to reset the maintenance light on a BMW X1: 1. With the car only powered on, press and hold the reset button at the bottom left of the dashboard until relevant maintenance information appears in the middle of the dashboard; 2. Press the reset button once to switch to the maintenance information you want to reset; 3. Press and hold the reset button until a pop-up appears asking if you want to reset; 4. Continue holding the reset button until another pop-up appears showing that the information is being reset with a progress bar below; 5. Wait for the reset to complete, and the progress bar finishing indicates the reset is done, meaning the light is cleared.

Last time I spent a long time figuring out how to reset the maintenance light on my BMW X1 by myself. First, turn off the engine and hold down the small reset button on the left side of the instrument panel without releasing it. Then, without pressing the brake pedal, press the start button to power up the instrument cluster. Keep holding the button until the oil service reminder appears on the screen, followed by the remaining mileage flashing. At this point, release the button and immediately press it again. The screen will ask if you confirm the reset. Finally, long-press the button until a clock icon appears, and you're done. Note that the button location may vary depending on the model year—for the 2019 X1, it's on the left side of the instrument panel, while the 2022 model moved it near the steering wheel. If you're still having trouble, check the maintenance manual in the glovebox for detailed illustrated steps. Remember to reset the next service reminder mileage after clearing the light; otherwise, it will light up again by default after one year or 10,000 kilometers.
