To perform this operation, disconnect the battery and wait at least 15 to 20 minutes to allow the airbag capacitor to discharge. Behind the steering wheel, you will find two small holes that provide access to spring clips holding the airbag in place.

Insert a small screwdriver into one of the holes and push firmly until you hear a distinct "click," indicating that the first clip has been released. Now move to the other side and repeat the process.

After the second "click," the airbag is free. Gently lift it and disconnect the electrical connectors located behind it. After removing the component, the airbag warning light will illuminate on the dashboard, which you will need to reset upon reinstallation.

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.
