2016 BMW X1 Brake Pad Reset - Repair Guide

To reset the brake pad wear indicator on a 2016 BMW X1, follow these steps:

1. Turn the ignition on: Insert the key or press the start/stop button to turn the ignition to the "on" position, but do not start the engine.

2. Press the brake pedal: Make sure the brake pedal is pressed down while you perform the reset.

3. Access the reset menu: On the dashboard, use the iDrive controller to navigate to the vehicle settings. Depending on your iDrive version, it might be located under "Vehicle Info" or "Service."

4. Select brake pad reset: Once you are in the service menu, scroll to the "Brake Pads" section and select the option to reset the brake pad wear indicator.

5. Confirm reset: You will be prompted to confirm the reset. Confirm the action, and the system should reset the brake pad wear indicator.

6. Turn off the ignition: After resetting, turn the ignition off, then start the vehicle again to ensure the reset was successful.

If the system does not allow you to reset, it's possible that the brake pads are still considered worn or the sensor is malfunctioning. In that case, a professional BMW technician may need to inspect the vehicle to ensure everything is functioning properly.
