In case of breakage of the plastic of the ignition key, you can recover the electronic module simply by unscrewing the screw located at the base of the key. Once the screw is removed, insert a small flat-blade screwdriver into the side of the key at the designated slot between the two shells, lever it to separate the two parts.

Reassemble the module in a new key. To program a second spare key, you need to obtain a blank key. Insert the new key into the ignition lock.

Turn the key to the start position and press the first button on the original key nearby, then return the key to the rest position. Repeat the operation by pressing the other two buttons in succession.

After three operations (the number of buttons on the key), the new key has been programmed.

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.
