This video demonstrates something that may have concerned many parents and Ford Ecosport owners. On this vehicle, as with other recent Fords, there is no visible door lock, making it unclear how to install the safety lock to prevent children from inadvertently opening the rear door while stopped at a traffic light or during travel.

However, this safety feature exists and can be found on the rear door: it is a small white clip with a very clear pictogram underneath, which must be turned to a horizontal position using a small screwdriver or a pointed object.

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.
