Video tutorial

In this video we can see how to replace the battery of the Volvo XC60 MK1: we open the front hood and locate the battery, which is located on the right side of the engine compartment, looking at the car from the front, protected by a plastic cover, which we will remove by pressing the clips on the front side of the cover.

We will need to partially remove the rubber gasket located on the protective grille, in order to remove the section of the cover that covers the battery.

We disconnect the wiring plug from the negative cable and remove the vent tube from the battery, then remove the negative clamp by moving it away from the pole to avoid accidental connection. We also disconnect the positive terminal.

We unscrew the battery security bolts and lift it from the tray, being careful because it is quite heavy. We place the new battery and tighten the security bolt.

We connect the positive terminal, then the negative one, then the vent tube and finally the electrical connector. Operation completed.

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.
