It is very easy to find aftermarket gear knobs with attractive designs and ergonomic shapes. The original knob is simply screwed onto the gear lever: to remove it, just unscrew it. The new knob will need to be secured using screws located at the bottom, which are then concealed by a collar.

First, place the collar onto the gear lever, screw the plastic bush onto the thread of the lever, insert the new knob, align it correctly, and tighten the screws at the bottom to secure it; finally, apply the collar.

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.
