In the event of flooding in the cabin, a common cause may be the blockage of the drain tubes located in the engine compartment. Under the windscreen, there is a grille that allows air to enter the cabin; beneath this grille are tubes that allow water to drain outside.

If these tubes are blocked by leaves or other debris, rainwater will instead enter the cabin through the air ducts. Regular cleaning of these drains prevents this unfortunate issue.

Cleaning simply involves removing the debris that blocks these drain tubes.

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.
