Press the brake pedal and check if the gear is in [P] or [N] position. Press the one-touch start button of the Land Rover Range Rover and wait for the vehicle to perform a self-check. Press the one-touch start button of the Land Rover Range Rover again. At this point, all the dashboard lights of the Range Rover will illuminate, indicating that the engine has successfully started. Locate the [Settings] option on the central control screen. After entering the menu, find and select the [Brake Pad Reset] option. Click on the [Brake Pad Reset] option. A prompt will appear on the screen asking, [Do you want to reset the brake pads?]. Click the [Confirm] button to complete the reset successfully.
As a Range Rover owner for ten years, I've personally experienced multiple brake system warnings. Resetting after replacing new pads is simple: get in the car, press the brake pedal, turn the key to ACC position to illuminate the dashboard without starting the engine; then use the up/down buttons on the left side of the steering wheel to navigate to the vehicle settings menu, scroll to the maintenance option, select 'Brake System Reset', and confirm. The whole process shouldn't involve engine startup and takes about tens of seconds. During my first attempt, I accidentally pressed other buttons, but practice makes perfect. The key is that if not reset, the warning light stays on, distracting attention and affecting safe driving. I also remind myself to check brake pad thickness every 20,000 kilometers to avoid emergencies. Proper brake maintenance can extend the vehicle's service life. Remember, addressing minor issues early prevents costly major repairs.
Modifying cars is my hobby, and Land Rover's system is highly intelligent. The method for resetting brake pads is clear: turn off the engine in a parked state, only power the ignition; entering the dashboard diagnostic mode usually requires holding certain function buttons simultaneously for a few seconds; select brake reset from the maintenance options to execute. There are slight differences between different models, with older versions using button combinations and newer touchscreens being more convenient. Resetting the cumulative data after installing new pads is crucial to prevent false alarms. I occasionally use an OBD scanner to assist in detection, ensuring there are no error codes. Before DIY, read the manual or find online video tutorials, even beginners can get started. By the way, perform regular brake disc wear checks simultaneously, as uneven wear may affect overall performance and enhance driving safety.
