Video tutorial

In this video, we will see how to behave if the message "backup battery anomaly" appears on the display of our Mercedes Class B. It is very likely that the auxiliary battery, which supports the large amount of electronic equipment in this vehicle, has been discharged.

The battery in question is located inside the passenger compartment, in the footwell on the passenger side.

So, we remove the mat, then going to the upper part of the compartment, we pull down the carpet, and we will be able to access the compartment where the auxiliary battery is located, inserted deep inside; in fact, to remove the door that covers it, we will have to remove a partition located in the lower part of the glove compartment.

The battery is secured with screws to its base, so we will have to unscrew it, remove the negative pole, then the positive one, remove the old battery - which we will dispose of at an authorized center, and replace it with the new one, proceeding in reverse.

We close the cap, put back the partition, then reposition the carpet and the mat.

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.
