Periodically, you need to replace the cabin filter on a Volkswagen Golf to ensure air quality inside the car. To do this, sit in the front passenger seat and unscrew the two screws that secure the panel under the glove compartment in front of you. Once removed, you will have access to the plastic cover of the filter, which can be slid off sideways.

You can then remove the old filter and place the new filter element.

Refit and secure the cover and reposition the panel, fastening it with its screws.

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.
