Open the hood and ensure it is securely supported. Disconnect and remove the side intake ducts and the plastic engine cover.

Disconnect the connectors from the ignition coils and detach the spark plug boots using the appropriate tool (two boots for each coil); unscrew the mounting screws of the coils and remove them along with the boots. Then unscrew the old spark plugs (two for each cylinder) and replace them with new ones (do not exceed the torque specification).

It is recommended to also replace the wires with the boots: then attach the new boots to the spark plugs ensuring a perfect fit and connect them to the respective coils.

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.
