Place the gear shift in Drive if automatic, or in 4th gear if manual, gently lift the trim panel at the base of the shifter and set it aside. Release the ashtray by pulling from the lower corners; if necessary, use a screwdriver to leverage the tabs in the corners.

To remove the motorized drawer, unscrew the two screws located in the corners and pull forward, being careful of the cables. If the vehicle has a CD changer inside the drawer, disconnect the fiber optic cable before removing the drawer to avoid damaging it. To release the radio, completely unscrew the screws located on the corners of the lower face.

Note: The screws do not come out; they only need to be unscrewed until the radio is freed from its position.

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.
