If the air coming from the vents is not sufficiently cool when the air conditioning is activated, there may not be enough gas in the system for the compressor to properly perform the refrigeration cycle. Since the air conditioning system is a closed circuit, if gas is missing, it is likely that there is a leak in the system, which should be checked by performing a vacuum with the appropriate equipment; however, there are gas cans available on the market that allow for DIY recharging: start the engine and turn on the air conditioning, connect the can to the corresponding valve and allow the gas to enter.

Then check that the air coming from the vents is cooling.

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.
