In this guide, we will see the instructions that will allow us to activate and deactivate the traction and stability control (DSTC) of the Volvo XC60; it is recommended not to disable these systems on the road, as they could compromise driving safety.

First, let’s get in the car and start the engine; then we press the "my car" button on the dashboard to access the settings, then go to the DSTC option to manually deactivate it, as shown in the video.

At this point, we will see the warning on the instrument panel indicating that the traction and stability control are temporarily deactivated.

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.
