When this problem occurs, in 99% of cases, the small plastic pin that connects the release lever (the one near the driver's seat) to the cap opening system has broken. This pin is located behind the inner cover of the trunk. So if you run out of gas and need to refuel, enter the trunk, remove the carpet cover on the side of the tank; you should see a round plastic cover; open it using a screwdriver. Inside, you will find the cap mechanism, which can be a lever or an emergency pull cord, often yellow. Pull that lever or cord towards the rear of the car. This will unlock the cap, and you can refuel. Leave everything open! Remember to have the permanent repair done.

Frequently Asked QuestionsHow 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. by ScegliAuto More videos
