Before starting the operation, disconnect the battery cables. Next, remove the steering wheel to work directly on the dashboard.

To do this, slide it upwards and operate the lever on the right side of the steering wheel to unlock it and remove it from its position. Now, unscrew the three screws that secure the dashboard (located along the top edge) and, after disconnecting the power cables, slide the dashboard trim with the glass upwards to remove it. Now, unscrew the four screws that secure the dashboard itself and pull it out to work on the back.

Disconnect the power supply by pressing the clip that holds the connector. At this point, you can replace the bulb corresponding to the warning light that is not illuminating.

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.
