If you have a problem opening the bonnet on your vehicle, where pulling the lever located just to the side of the driver's door at the bottom of the dashboard does not release the bonnet, follow the instructions below as shown in the video. Take a 12 mm socket wrench and insert it just below the left side of the Fiat logo on the front grille to remove the external opening lock.

Then, use a lever to finally release the lock from the outside so you can open the bonnet.

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.
