The cabin air filter is located just behind the centre tunnel, and to replace it, access is required from the driver's side. Remove the plastic cover that conceals the side of the tunnel and, importantly, remove the accelerator pedal.

Unscrew the fixing pins of the accelerator pedal from its bracket, remove it from its position to provide enough manoeuvring space to access the filter housing, unscrew the fixing screws of the cover, and extract the old filter. Ensure all dirt is cleared from inside the filter housing and insert the new one, reassembling everything in reverse order.

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.
