The described procedure is used to reset both the "service" and "insp" lights on T4 models with an analog dashboard. Insert the key into the ignition, press and hold the reset button for the trip odometer, and with the other hand, turn the clock adjustment knob located next to the speedometer to the right, clockwise.

While holding both buttons, turn on the ignition: the display will show the message: "service oil" or "service insp." Release both controls, turn off the ignition, and repeat the cycle another 2-3 times. At the end, the warning light should be gone.

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.
