Let's see how to remedy the multimedia problem on the Peugeot 208 MK2: a complete reset procedure can be done quickly in this way. With the car turned off, exit the car with the keys in hand and wait 15/30 minutes; the system will reset itself. However, the most effective solution is the one we see in the video, using the battery.

Open the hood, locate the battery, disconnect the negative terminal first, then the positive one, wait 30 minutes - not less - then reconnect the positive terminal first and finally the negative one. The expected result is that the screen will turn back on: it will display a message of "attempted vehicle theft" which is normal after the reset.

The problems that the 208 MK2 frequently presents are a black screen, but with the air conditioning working, and the system randomly freezing.

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.
