Follow these steps to perform a straightforward task that requires attention and precision. Lift the car with a jack and remove a wheel.

Open the bonnet, unscrew the brake fluid reservoir cap, and using a pump, as shown in the video, extract as much fluid as possible. Carefully pour it into a container, ensuring not to spill any. Next, pour in the new brake fluid, taking care not to exceed the level, and proceed to bleed the remaining old fluid from the system.

According to the sequence recommended in your car's maintenance manual, start bleeding the fluid from the brake calipers of each wheel. For this operation, you will need another person inside the cabin who, while you unscrew the bolt on the caliper, presses the brake pedal simultaneously until all the dark old fluid has been expelled.

Once the operation is complete, check the fluid level and top it up with the new fluid.

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.
