To adjust the brightness of the instrument cluster in your Mercedes A-Class, if you've searched desperately in your owner's manual without finding anything, and fiddled with the infotainment buttons and those on the console without success, here’s the solution.

Under the speedometer, there is a button/dial that, when turned to the right, increases the brightness of the entire cluster, and when turned to the left, decreases it. Sometimes the solutions are right at your fingertips and so simple that when you discover them, you feel a bit foolish.

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.
