Removing the bonnet requires the assistance of two people to support it during this procedure. Start by locating the plastic cap near the hinge on the driver's side to open it and disconnect the connections and pipes of the windscreen washer system, freeing the bonnet for removal.

Once this is done, position yourself with another person, one on each side of the bonnet near the hinges, with the appropriate tools to remove the fixing pins of the bonnet from the hinges and those of the struts, ensuring to always support the bonnet itself, and finally remove it completely.

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.
