In this video, we will see some utilities for the MG ZS: for example, if you find yourself with a dead battery, you can remove the end part of the handle and use the emergency key found in the remote; just remove the hook and you can access the lock that allows you to open the door.

You can start by placing the dead key in backup position, meaning in the center console, and start the vehicle by pressing the start button normally.

Another interesting thing: if you try to lift the wipers to clean or change them, they hit against the body, scratching the paint; you need to position them so you can work on them: turn on the ignition, then turn it off and give a tap to the turn signal stalk, so the wipers lift vertically and you can work on them comfortably.

A tap down returns them to position.

To replace the remote battery, simply split it in two; reposition the hook and reassemble the remote, and you're done.
