Methods to reset the maintenance light on BMW X1: 1. After maintenance completion, press and hold the button on the instrument panel until the oil service indicator appears; 2. Release briefly then press and hold again (if prompted for reset confirmation, release briefly then hold); 3. After completing oil service reset, click the button to switch to brake pad maintenance light, then press and hold. The BMW X1's design aligns with most Chinese consumers' aesthetic preferences for traditional SUVs, with BMW's signature design language enhancing its visual presence. Regarding dimensions, the BMW X1 measures 4484mm in length, 1798mm in width, 1577mm in height, with a 2760mm wheelbase.
I just got my hands on a BMW X1 and the maintenance light came on, which made me a bit nervous. The reset steps are actually quite straightforward: First, make sure the car is completely turned off and all doors are closed. Then, sit in the driver's seat, insert the key but don't start the engine—just turn it to the ignition position to light up the dashboard. Locate the small round button on the dashboard, the one used to reset the mileage, and hold it down. Keep pressing it for about 10 seconds, and you'll see the maintenance light flash before turning off—then you can release the button. After completing this, confirm the light is truly off before hitting the road. It's important to only do this after you've actually serviced the car; otherwise, you're just masking the problem, which isn't good for the engine. When I was a newbie, I had no experience and had to try repeatedly before succeeding, but now I'm used to getting it right the first time. Paying more attention to the vehicle manual usually saves a lot of trouble.
