Video tutorial

The video indicates that after disconnecting the battery, the dashboard displays "Check SOS Call" and the orange light remains on. The unit has an internal lithium backup battery: when the 12V is disconnected, the module switches to the internal battery, but upon reconnecting the 12V, the system does not reset automatically and remains in error state.

One method is to turn off the car and leave it overnight in the garage: the unit goes into "deep sleep" and resets.

Another method is to turn on the ignition, wait 2 minutes, turn off, open and close the driver's door, lock and unlock with the remote. Repeat the entire sequence 3 to 4 times.

If these "soft" methods do not work, then you need to use a diagnostic tool (Renault/Dacia, CanClip, Multiecuscan). Locate the fuse box and find the "TEL" or "SOS" or "eCall" fuse.

Remove it for 10 minutes and then reinsert it.

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.
