The procedure for changing the battery in the Ford Focus MK4 is a bit more complex because the battery is semi-hidden under the air filter. First, let's locate the battery and disconnect the negative terminal, then remove the plastic support that is above the battery by unscrewing the torx screws that hold the support in place.

Disconnect any electrical connectors and remove the support. Also disconnect the positive terminal, remove the side fastening, and then remove the air filter by unscrewing the 7 mm nut that secures the air hose to the filter, unlock the plastic clips, lift the entire air filter assembly, and move the whole assembly without disconnecting the MAF sensor.

Now the battery is fully accessible and we can take it out. Clean the cable terminals, position the new battery with its side fastening, and connect the positive terminal first and then the negative one; reassemble the plastic support and then the air filter.

Close the hood and start the car. If necessary, reset the settings (windows, climate, clock); the start & stop system may need a few driving cycles to reactivate.

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.
