First, open the rear tailgate and start by removing the rear lights by disconnecting the electrical connector and unscrewing the internal screws; then unscrew the screws located above the bumper and also the screws located on both sides of the rear wheel arches, as shown in the video.

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.
