If the SERVICE warning light illuminates on the instrument cluster, it means it's time for maintenance: proceed with the engine oil and filter replacement, ensuring to dispose of the used oil correctly; once you have checked the correct engine oil level, you can reset the SERVICE light: this is a manual procedure that does not require any diagnostic tools; turn on the instrument cluster and immediately press the brake and accelerator pedals simultaneously, holding them down until the reset procedure is complete.

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.
