The safe lock is an anti-theft system that prevents thieves from accessing the vehicle. This device locks the doors, both externally and internally, when the driver activates the central locking remote after leaving the vehicle.

To disable it permanently, you need to use a diagnostic program like VCDS, which connects to the vehicle via the OBDII port. Wait for the connection and recognition of the control unit, then select the locks present and locate the safe lock to disable it. The job will then be complete.

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.
