Today's instructions will show us how to activate and deactivate the eco mode on the Peugeot 208. The eco mode actually activates from the first start of the engine; it is nothing more than a Start&Stop function that allows fuel saving when stuck in traffic or at a traffic light.

To temporarily deactivate this function, there is a specific activation/deactivation button for the eco mode on the dashboard, next to the steering wheel (driver's side); it is possible to activate and deactivate this function at any time (we will see a warning appear on the instrument cluster display).

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.
