In this guide we will see the instructions that will allow us to correctly use the electric handbrake of the Volvo XC60. Let's get on board the car and start by turning on the instrument panel and the engine; when the vehicle is first turned on, the parking brake is always engaged and it will be possible to disengage it by pressing the handbrake activation button located at the bottom left, as shown in the video.

Pulling the button instead will engage the parking brake, which usually engages automatically when the vehicle is turned off.

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.
