Video tutorial

Obtain a plastic wedge and remove the two side areas of the front bumper grille by prising in the gap. This operation is clearly shown in the video. Once done, you can access the central part of the grille and unclip it from all four sides.

If you want to remove the bumper itself, you must undo the bolts and clips located underneath the vehicle (lift it with a jack and secure it on axle stands), above the bumper (near the engine bay), and in the two wheel arches. Proceed in reverse for reassembly.

Cheers!

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.
