As shown in the video, activating the brake assist button is very simple. From the dashboard, locate the button, then shift the gear into position L, go below 6 miles/h and press the button; a yellow warning light will flash on the instrument panel.

At that point, press the button on the dashboard and the brake assist light will illuminate on the left. Brake assist will help you on more complicated routes where it may be difficult to calibrate the vehicle's speed with the slope of the road, thus it is generally recommended for off-road or steep roads.

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.
