Using the designated side button, release the manual key. Now, in the space left free by it, pry with your hands (use a small flat screwdriver if you have difficulty) and remove the remote control cover. Rotate the round battery cover to extract it from its seat, then use a small flat screwdriver to remove the exhausted battery.

It is a CR2032, which you can find in any hardware store or large supermarket. Insert the new battery and reassemble the remote control simply by reversing the steps.

Good luck!

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.
