Clean the glove compartment. Unscrew the three screws on the handle using a Torx key size 3. Remove the handle by sliding it off the opening knob.

Unscrew all the screws around the panel, starting by removing the speaker grille to access additional fixing screws. Unscrew the screws securing the pillar cover and remove it. Some screws are hidden under plastic caps that need to be removed using a plastic tool to avoid damaging the panel.

Pull the panel to release all the plastic clips. Carefully slide the panel upwards to disengage other clips.

Disconnect the speaker wires. Gently peel back the protective film using a blade, taking care not to damage the sealant.

You now have access to the internal components.

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.
