To replace the alternator belt on a Toyota Yaris, start by loosening the alternator bolts with a 12mm spanner; once the 3 bolts are loosened, slightly move the alternator to relieve tension on the belt, then raise the car and remove the belt from underneath.

After removing the belt, reinsert the new one from below, following the installation diagram.

Reposition the alternator so that the belt is tensioned again, then hold the alternator in place and tighten the alternator bolts first with a regular spanner, then with a torque wrench. Finally, you can start the car's engine.

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.
