Thoroughly clean the bodywork area where you will stick the strips. Position the strip, securing it with masking tape at several points.

Remove part of the backing from under the strip and stick it down after wetting it with soapy water (this allows you to adjust the adhesive's position before permanently sticking it) and eliminate any air bubbles with a plastic spatula, ensuring the adhesive adheres correctly; remove the other part of the backing from under the adhesive strip, spray the soapy water, and stick it down using the spatula.

At this point, remove the protective film, ensuring that the checkered pattern remains perfectly adhered to the bodywork, and cut along the door seams, ensuring the adhesive sticks well at the edges.

Proceed in the same manner to apply the other stickers.

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.
