resetting the brake warning

[avp27]

Hi all,

I have recently replaced all my brake pads and rotors on a 3.0d. New sensors were fitted front and back as well. The warning light for my brakes is still on when you start the car, saying to replace the pads. Does anyone know how to reset this ?

thanks

thanks for that. So in my case I cant turn the key so I press the start button once (?) to get it into position 2. The Warning light goes off after 30 seconds on the Dash. but when i start the car the warning is still being displayed on the center monitor.
