It is quite common for the gear knob and the handbrake lever cover to become sticky or to flake, almost as if the covering is melting. A very functional and economical solution is to apply silicone covers: this is an optimal remedy especially because you do not need to disassemble anything, just apply and overlay the cover on both the gear knob and the handbrake lever.

The result is not at all makeshift and integrates perfectly.

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.
