Video tutorial

In this video, see where the legal chassis number (VIN - Vehicle Identification Number) is located on the Nissan Qashqai J11. The legal chassis number is not the one displayed on the plate on the driver's side windscreen; that is a "courtesy plate" used to move the vehicle until it is registered.

It is also not the metal plate located within the driver's door frame, which is affixed by the manufacturer when the vehicle is completed and contains all essential data.

The stamped chassis number is found inside the engine compartment, under the grille at the base of the windscreen. There is a small cover that you need to remove, and inside you will find the chassis number, which begins with SJN.

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.
