At the entrance of the air conditioning circuit of the Hyundai Tucson, a filter is installed to trap dust and ensure clean air circulation. This filter must be replaced periodically.

To do this, open the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat, unclip the retaining arm on the right side, press the inner edges to detach the glove compartment from the guides, and rotate it downwards. In the space that has opened, you will find the cover of the filter box. Open it and remove the old filter, replacing it with a new one, preferably with activated carbon.

Close the cover, reposition the glove compartment in the guides, and secure the side latch.

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.
