Video tutorial

Let's see this very short video, which however gives us an indication of where the headlight adjustment of the Peugeot 208 is located: we open the hood and locate the headlight that we want to adjust: on the upper side of the headlight body we will find black hex screws.

The height adjustment is the most common and is located on the upper side of the headlight, facing upwards; not all versions have the screw for horizontal axis adjustment, and it is located on one side of the headlight itself.

The adjustment should be done by pointing the headlights at a white surface 5/10 meters away, and we find the reference point which is the highest point of the light beam, which should be below the height of the headlights.

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.
