In this video, discover a simple modification for your Subaru Forester; see how to fit an awning to provide shade or shelter from rain during your stops. This operation does not require any modifications to the vehicle.

Take the awning and position the hooks in the desired location (they can slide to adapt for use on either side). Next, insert them between the roof bars and the roof; there’s no need to worry about marks on the paint as the supports have special seals.

Now, open the zip and extract the horizontal telescopic supports of the awning, from which you will also extract the vertical support that rests on the ground. Finally, attach the awning to the supports, and the operation will be complete.

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.
