Start with the engine oil: pull out the dipstick and wipe it with a cloth, then reinsert it and pull it out again. The perfect level is below the "max", never above.

If it is low, add a little oil at a time. Now check the coolant, open the expansion tank and bring the level to maximum: the liquid should be the same colour as what is already present.

The brake fluid level drops because the pads are wearing down: if it is below maximum, add some; you will remove it when you change the pads. Add the screen wash fluid (never tap water, as it would damage the nozzles and the glass).

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.
