Open the front bonnet and release the 6 plastic push clips along the edge of the grille (generally, press the centre pin inwards and then pull out the clip). Using an 8 mm socket, unscrew the fixing bolts along the edge of the wheel arches and those directly under the bumper.

At this point, unclip the bumper from the sides and pull it forward to remove it after disconnecting the fog light connector and the washer tube. To refit it, first reconnect the connectors and the washer tube, rest it on the slam panel (insert a screwdriver into one of the push clip holes to support it), clip it into the side guides, re-screw the previously removed bolts, and reapply the push clips.

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.
