Clearing warning symbols

Clearing warning symbols
Discovered that it is actually possible to clear warning symbols via the interactive display unit
Once the warning symbol occurs on the dash a very very small red rectangle shall appear on the interactive display unit, from then on its as simple as pressing the red triangle and following the prompts

You should not ignore the low fuel warning. Are you aware that the fuel pump is cooled by the fuel around it? The major cause of fuel pump failure in modern cars is repeated running of the pump in a low fuel environment. Resist the urge to run it below 1/4 tank...replacement of a fuel pump is an expensive repair.

Hi I'm having the same problem on my 2007 XKR and the local garage are ordering in x2 replacement front sensors. Can anyone advise whether fitting requires removal of the bonnet in order to get into the location where the sensors are located? This sounds like a major job to fit something that is of no real value? Better still, what is the downside of disconnecting the things and living happily ever after???

Second, in Step #7, can you give me an idea of how long it takes to get from the "resetting" stage to the completed "reset" stage? I just tried going through this procedure a couple of times last night and I was holding the buttons for 2-3 minutes and the message never went to the "service mode reset" stage. Did I really need to hold in the buttons for longer than 3 minutes, or is it maybe something else?
I appreciate the help.

It's best to practice a few times, then do a steady one-second cadence. You'll get it, keep trying.
