First, disconnect the battery terminals to protect all electronic devices. Then, while seated in the driver's position, pull towards you the plastic panel at the base of the steering column.

This will give you access to the screws that secure the center display of the dashboard. Remove these screws to take off the upper part that shields the display from sunlight.

Next, remove the screws located at the bottom to pull out the entire speedometer display. Disconnect the plugs at the back, and you're done!

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a MG ZS?

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.
