If the AdBlue warning light has illuminated on the instrument cluster of your Volkswagen Tiguan, it means that the fluid in the emissions system has reached the minimum level and needs to be topped up. This is a very simple and quick operation. First, purchase a 10-litre canister of urea from any car parts store, then turn off the engine and open the fuel flap.

Next, unscrew the cap on the right, insert the canister's nozzle into the opening, and add the necessary amount of fluid to reach the maximum level.

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.
