If inserting the key of the Volkswagen Golf 7 into the ignition cylinder displays the message "Replace the key battery", you need to open the remote to perform this operation. To open the remote, press the button that releases the key and insert a lever-like object into the slot where the key is located when it is retracted.

Once the remote cover is opened, insert a flathead screwdriver under the battery to pull it out from its housing. Finally, insert the new battery and close the remote again.

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.
