! Fortunately, resetting the service light is simple and can be done in just a few minutes.
To reset the service light on a 2013 BMW 1 Series, you should:
Turn the ignition on but do not start the engine. If the vehicle is push-to-start, press the start button without pushing down the brake pedal.
Hold down the odometer or trip reset button until the service menu appears. The reset button is usually on the instrument panel to the left of the speedometer, and the service menu should appear after holding the button for 5–10 seconds.
