Removing the door panel for this car model is very similar to other models from the same manufacturer; start by unclipping and removing the cover of the handle located at the centre of the panel to access the screws underneath; once these two screws are removed, there is another one on the lower edge of the panel, just below the courtesy light; after removing this screw, proceed to unclip the panel by prying along the edges to release the clips and move the panel enough to disconnect the lock cable and the connectors for the speaker and window switch.

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.
