If the fuel level gauge needle does not indicate the correct position corresponding to the actual fuel level in the tank, for example, if the tank is low with the warning light on while the needle is much higher than the reserve, it is necessary to reposition it. Set the steering wheel adjustment all the way down, unclip the frame around the speedometer dial, and then the protective glass to access the dial panel and the needles.

Pull the fuel level needle and reposition it lower; turn the ignition on and off a couple of times to check the correct position of the needle and reassemble the glass and frame.

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.
