In case of issues with the air conditioning system, one potential fault may lie in the air flap control system that recycles air in the cabin. To replace these components, begin by removing the glove compartment and the underlying panel, then remove the assembly by undoing the retaining screws and the power connector.

Carefully detach the power connector, then unscrew all retaining screws and gently extract the faulty part from its housing. Replace the regulator with the new spare part and proceed to reassemble the removed parts.

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.
