Replacing the battery in your car key is fortunately one of the quickest and simplest maintenance tasks. Locate the small plastic button on the back of the cover and remove the cover.

By applying slight upward pressure, also remove the entire plastic piece directly underneath. Turn it over and find the small button battery.

At this point, simply remove this battery and replace it with a new one. Refit the two components you removed earlier correctly, and you're done. The key battery has been successfully replaced.

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.
