The rear door panel integrates a sunshade that can be opened as needed since it operates with a roll-up system capable of automatically rewinding the sunshade once released. If you need to replace the door panel, you must transfer the sunshade to the new panel.

It is secured with only two screws at both ends and held in place by a plastic strip. To remove the sunshade, unscrew the two screws and pull the plastic strip away from the panel just enough to extract the roller.

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.
