The electric window switches allow for automatic opening and closing of the windows with a single touch, without needing to hold the button throughout the travel. However, when the battery is disconnected, the window control unit loses the memory of this function, which must be reprogrammed: this is a simple manual procedure using the switches themselves.

If the window is closed, press the open button and hold it throughout the travel and for a few seconds afterwards. Next, press the close button and hold it until fully closed and for a few seconds afterwards.

The same procedure can be used for the electric sunroof control.

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.
