Video tutorial

In this video we see how we can open the trunk of a Volkswagen Golf that is stuck from the inside. We open the rear door and pull down the backrest of the rear seat, so that we can crawl to the inside of the tailgate.

Here we find in the center, a kind of key that we must turn in order to open a small door where the internal lock is located; it will be enough to turn it with the key with which we start the car ignition, to open the tailgate from the inside. Of course, now we will have to have the external lock checked: this is an emergency opening.

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.
