To activate or deactivate the passenger airbag on your Nissan Qashqai, first take the remote control of your vehicle. If you look at it from the back, you will see a notch at the top. This is the safety key. Remove it, as this will allow you to access the lock to perform the operation.

The lock is located in the glove compartment; at the bottom, you can see a small lock. On the edge of the compartment, there are illustrations showing its function.

Turning the safety key to one side disables the airbag, while turning it to the other side reactivates it.

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.
