In this video, you can see how to deactivate and activate the passenger airbag in the Volkswagen Golf MK6, a very simple and quick operation that must be performed, according to the highway code, whenever a child seat is positioned facing the rear. In cars from the German manufacturer, you will find the appropriate switch inside the passenger glove compartment, which can be operated using the key, as it is shaped like the ignition key. Simply rotate the switch to the desired position; a light under the climate control console will inform you of the deactivation.

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.
