The cabin air filter is located on the passenger side, behind the glove compartment: to access it, open the glove compartment door, press the sides to retract the end stops, and fully fold down the door; once you reach the air duct housing, remove the protective cap of the cabin air filter housing, extract the old filter, remove any dirt residue, and insert the new filter (active carbon filters are recommended) following the airflow direction indicated by the arrows on the filter.

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.
