To remove the steering wheel controls from the spokes of the steering wheel, you must first remove the airbag. Before proceeding, it is advisable to disconnect the battery.

Next, locate the slots behind the spokes of the steering wheel where you can insert a screwdriver to lever and release the airbag retaining springs. Once released, pull it away enough to disconnect the connectors for the horn and detonators.

With the airbag removed, you can proceed to remove the steering wheel controls by unscrewing the relevant retaining screws from the spokes and disconnecting the flat cable connector.

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.
