The assisted parking brake engages automatically when the engine stops or the vehicle is stationary with the driver's door open or the seatbelt unfastened; the instrument display shows the message "P" indicating the brake is engaged. The assisted parking brake releases automatically when the vehicle is started by gently pressing the accelerator.

It is important to note that this brake does not activate when the vehicle is parked, especially if parked on a slope; in that case, it is crucial to hold the handbrake for a few seconds to achieve maximum force. Again, the instrument display shows the message "P" indicating that the brake is functioning correctly and is active.

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.
