So to disassemble the door panels on cars like these, it takes a bit of patience but it's not impossible. Lower the window and disconnect the battery for safety.

Then unscrew the screws because there are many, under the handle, near the door pocket, and behind the mirror control. Use a plastic lever or a screwdriver wrapped in a cloth to avoid scratching and lever along the edge to release the pressure fasteners.

Once the panel comes off, disconnect the cables for the window control and the handle. To reassemble it, do everything in reverse, but if you don't feel confident in DIY mode, contact a specialized mechanic.

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.
