The issue of difficulty opening the doors from the outside is quite well-known on this model and is caused by an elongation of the cables connecting the handle to the lock. You can resolve this problem by bending the bracket to compensate for the elongation and keep the cables under tension.

To perform this operation, start by removing the handle, beginning with the removal of the interior trim panel. Remove the screws along the lower edge, those under the interior handle, and the one inside the opening lever housing.

Once the panel is removed, access the handle housing, disconnect the cables, and unscrew the three securing nuts.

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.
