Once the bonnet is open, detach the gas struts and unscrew the fastening pins that secure the bonnet to the hinges. It is advisable to get assistance for this operation, as once the pins are removed, the bonnet can easily detach from its position and may fall due to its weight, causing damage.

If you have a forklift or a small portable crane, you can also work as shown in the video, by securing the bonnet to the forks of the forklift. Finally, if you want to remove the hinges as well, the fastening pins are located on the inner side of the wing.

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.
