Remove the cover under the handle and unscrew the two retaining screws with a Torx key. Use a trim tool to remove the plastic clips from the panel and gently pull the panel away from the edges, taking care to remove it cautiously. Remove the speaker cover on the mount using a plastic tool, prying at the edges, and disconnect the connector.

Remove the side cover and disconnect the electrical connector. Detach the handle cables and electrical contacts by disconnecting the connectors, being careful not to pull them.

Refit the panel, starting with the connection of the electrical cables. Position the panel upwards and then push it down until it clicks into place.

Reconnect the cables, connectors, and screws.

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.
