Once the filter is removed, take it out of the vehicle. Fit the new fuel filter under the vehicle floor (connect the hoses and wires) and tighten the appropriate clips.

Lower the car to the ground and test the vehicle's operation (start the engine with the ignition key). Replace the fuel filter with an identical one.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a MG ZS?

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.
