Is the steering wheel of your car worn? Do you want to replace it? Remove the steering wheel and carry out the replacement. Disconnect the battery terminals in the engine bay. Unscrew the bolts located behind the plastic covers of the steering wheel.

Once the airbag is released, disconnect its power connectors and remove it from the steering wheel. Unscrew the large central bolt and remove the steering wheel from the steering column.

Fit the new steering wheel onto the column and tighten the securing nut, then reconnect the airbag power connector and press the airbag back onto the steering wheel: tighten the securing bolts at the back of the steering wheel.

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.
