Today, we will see how to address the issue if the remote control is not functioning. You will need a small flat-head screwdriver, an electrical contact cleaner, a CR 2032 battery, some cotton buds, paper, and a ruler.

Start by removing the key from the shell. Use the screwdriver to open the shell and access the battery compartment.

Separate the rubber button pad from the circuit board where the button contacts are located. To ensure a good connection, slightly bend the battery tabs.

Clean the circular contacts on the circuit track of the buttons using the cleaner and cotton buds. Take the paper and cut a strip 3 cm long; inserting this into the shell will improve the button contacts.

Reassemble everything, having replaced the battery, and test the remote control's functionality.

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.
