In this video, you will see how to replace the brake pads on a Ford S Max Mk I. Lift the vehicle and remove the front wheels, then turn the steering to make the brake caliper clearly visible. Using a flathead screwdriver, remove the spring located on the caliper.

Insert a screwdriver into the inspection window and use it as a lever to retract the piston. Remove the bolt covers (located at the back of the caliper) and unscrew them with a 7 mm hex key; you can now remove the caliper and take out the pads.

Using a rewind tool or a screwdriver, fully retract the piston and position the new pads. Finally, reassemble everything.

Before starting your car, press the brake pedal several times to ensure the pads adhere to the disc.

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.
