Today we will explain how to remove the top part of the gear knob of a Ford Focus car. To remove the top part and replace it, in case the gear numbers are no longer readable, we simply need to insert a flat-tip screwdriver at the base and apply pressure upwards to remove the part.

It is possible to perform this action without the use of a screwdriver.

To insert the top part, we need to place it on the knob and push it inwards, making the clips adhere. This operation is valid for all Ford vehicles that use the same gear knob.

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.
