The gear lever knob comes with a covering gaiter: to replace it, you need to remove both the gaiter and the knob itself; detach the frame at the base of the gear lever and lift the gaiter upwards, remove the metal retaining clip and pull firmly upwards to remove the knob complete with gaiter; to install the new one, reverse the process: insert the knob onto the gear lever, pressing down until fully seated, apply the retaining clip, and finally reattach the gaiter frame at the base of the centre console.

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.
