Video tutorial

In this video, we see how to adjust the height of the front headlights of the Peugeot 208. It is advisable to use the inner wheel located at headlight level, accessible from the interior of the car. On the dashboard, near the indicator lever, there is a numbered wheel from 0 to 5. The value varies depending on how many passengers or luggage are being carried: 0= only driver and front passenger; 1= all seats occupied; 2= car fully loaded; 3= only driver with luggage; 4/5= maximum load with luggage.

To manually adjust the headlight tilt as shown in the video, we need a cross-head screwdriver, the car with correctly inflated tires and no extra load, a flat surface, a dark place with a white wall 10/15 meters away from the car. Turn on the low beams, set the position to "0". The adjustment screw is located on the top of the headlight: one for height and one for lateral alignment.

Adjust the height, remembering that in the EU the right headlight can have a slight tilt to the right to illuminate the edge of the road without dazzling oncoming drivers.

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.
