If the "INSP" light has illuminated on the dashboard of your Volkswagen Polo, it means it's time for a service as the mileage has exceeded the relevant interval. Once you have completed the maintenance at your trusted garage, you can manually reset the light by following this simple procedure.

First, insert the key and leave it in the initial position, then press and hold the "0.0/SET" button located in the centre of the dashboard while simultaneously turning on the ignition. Release the button afterwards and confirm the reset by pressing the left button.

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.
