Learn how to reset the service light on a Mercedes A-Class (also C and E): turn on the ignition and use the up/down buttons located on the left side of the steering wheel. Look for the "service" option on the instrument cluster and confirm with "ok". Here comes the critical step mentioned in the video; press and hold the "back" button for about 3 seconds and then immediately press the "ok" button: a dialog box will appear asking "Do you want to reset the service items?" After that, the system will show what you are about to reset (for example: "engine oil service") confirm.

Turn off the car and then restart to check if the light has actually turned off.

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.
