Using the appropriate keys, extract the car radio from its compartment; the keys should be inserted into the four holes along the perimeter of the radio and can be replaced with any suitable metal wire of appropriate size and strength for the purpose.

Now disconnect the connectors at the back of the radio, antenna, power, speakers, and accessories, and set it aside.

Pull to disengage the lower trim, and using screwdrivers, extract the glove compartment.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a MG ZS?

On the instrument cluster of the MG ZS, the tire pressure light that appears can be reset by inflating the tires to the correct pressure: this value will be indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tires have been properly inflated, you can turn on the instrument cluster and navigate through the menu until you find the option that indicates tire pressure: if this screen shows the new values, the light will turn off; otherwise, you will need to drive for a few miles so that the sensors can read the new values and turn off the light afterward.
