Long story short,
1. My car's out of warranty
2. Recently, I've seen yellow rear brake pad warning light, so I replaced
rear brake pad. (I re-used sensor, because I have heard from this forum
that I can use the sensor again unless brake pad warning light is red)
3. After replacing the rear brake pad, the yellow warning light kept on
everytime I start the car
4. I searched for DIY guide for resetting service / warning light.
Here's the guide that I used.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 1
Insert key into slot
Step 2
Press start/stop button without depressing clutch/brake and wait for
the service reminder to dissapear.
Step 3
Immediately after service reminder goes out, press and hold the odometer
reset. After 3 secs a warning triangle will appear, keep the odo. button
pressed and after another 2-3 secs the Oil can will appear. I f you hold it
too long (10 secs in total) you will overshoot the runway and some
German writing will appear giving the software level/ can bus etc.
of the car. Go back to the beginning and start again.
Step 4
You are now in the service menu, use the toggle switch on indicator stalk
to scroll up/down through the various service items.
Step 5
When you have the item you want to reset showing, press the BC button
on end of indicator stalk. Reset should now appear in the display. Press
in and hold the BC button for 2-3 secs and a clock will start whirling
around and hey presto, its done.
Step 6
You can now either scroll up/down to select another item (as in step 4) or you can press the start/stop button to exit.

5. Using the guide above, I successfully reset brake fluid warning light
but the rear brake pad warning light. The rear brake pad warning light
became like this (the light below is for front brake pad, but it's the same
for my brear brake pad too)
And I accidently reset my fron brake pad too (before reset, it was indicating
35,000km for front)
And I keep having this light every time I start the car
Is there any way I can reset those warning lights?
My warranty has been expired so I would like to avoid going to stealerships.
