Video tutorial

The video shows how to replace a piece of the interior pillar in your car by yourself. It is not a very difficult procedure to perform, although it can be a bit stressful as it is located right next to the airbag.

About 30 minutes before starting, disconnect the battery. Using your fingers, starting from the top edge of each cover and under the seal, you will be able to extract the pillar.

A targeted action is required, while being firm and decisive. Pull towards you to uninstall the "mushroom" clip, then pull parallel to the windscreen to disengage the other clip.

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.
