If no liquid comes out of the rear windscreen washer nozzle but you can hear the pump when pressing the lever, it is possible that the nozzle is blocked or that the pipe leading the liquid to the nozzle has broken; to inspect this, you need to remove the rear bonnet trim panel; start by removing the expansion-type push fittings by pressing the central pin inward; take off the lock cover and detach the frame around the internal latch; at this point, you can unclip the panel by prying along the edges.

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.
