To remove the upper and central grille of the dashboard, simply pull it by hand and disconnect the underlying connector. Once done, you can unscrew the two T20 Torx screws that are now accessible and then extract the radio screen (use a plastic wedge for assistance), disconnecting the connectors at the back.

Now that the radio screen is removed, you can also take off the trim by gently pulling it by hand in all areas. Next, remove the lower drawer and unscrew the various Torx screws, both central and on the side parts of the dashboard, to complete the disassembly.

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.
