Video tutorial

In this video, see what to do if the automatic gearbox in your car jerks or slips. Turn on the ignition, set the lever to "N" with your foot on the brake, and wait a couple of minutes.

While keeping your foot on the brake, switch to "D" and wait another two minutes. Then set it to "P", turn off the engine, and restart.

This procedure resets the transmission adaptations and may resolve issues with jerking, vibrations, or slow response. If the problem persists, check the oil level in the gearbox, and then look for any errors in the ECU with an OBD2 tool.

If none of this works, you will need to take the vehicle to a garage, but up to this point, you won't have spent anything.

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.
