How to check the tire pressure monitoring on MG ZS?
3 Answers
You can check the tire pressure status on the tire pressure monitoring display located on the vehicle's dashboard. Here is more information about tire pressure: 1. Strictly speaking, tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire. Nowadays, many tires are filled with gases other than air. For these tires, the tire pressure requirements are more stringent, while for tires filled with air, the pressure may vary with seasonal changes. 2. Tire pressure is closely related to vehicle performance, such as comfort and load capacity, and also affects tire lifespan. Air pressure is the lifeblood of a tire; both too high and too low pressure can shorten the tire's service life. Low pressure increases tire body deformation, making the tire side prone to cracks and causing flexing movements, leading to excessive heat, rubber aging, fatigue of the cord layer, and cord breakage. It also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear. 3. Excessive pressure can cause excessive stretching and deformation of the tire cords, reducing the tire body's elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle while driving. In case of impact, it may lead to internal cracks and blowouts. Additionally, excessive pressure accelerates tread wear and reduces puncture resistance.
I've been driving my MG ZS for two years, and checking the tire pressure is quite simple. First, turn the key to start the car (press once for push-button start), wait for the dashboard to light up, then use the arrow buttons on the right side of the steering wheel to scroll through. Look for an icon that resembles an exclamation mark inside parentheses, or a place where numbers are directly displayed—that's the tire pressure information. Press the 'OK' button in the middle to confirm, and the pressure values for all four tires will appear. Normally, when the car is cold, a reading around 2.3 is fine, and it may rise to 2.5 after driving. If the icon turns yellow, it means the tire pressure is low, and you should inflate them immediately. Last time, I had a nail puncture causing a leak, and the flashing icon alerted me—thankfully, this feature is quite reliable.
If your car is the high-end version with a large central control screen, checking the tire pressure is more intuitive. After powering on the vehicle without starting it, simply swipe left on the home screen, find the 'Vehicle Status' or 'Tire Pressure Monitoring' icon, and tap to immediately see the specific tire pressure values for all four wheels, along with color coding—green indicates normal, while yellow means it's low. I particularly love this feature as it displays changes in real-time; checking it before hitting the highway gives me peace of mind. Remember to measure after the car has been parked for at least three hours for accurate readings, as tire pressure tends to be higher right after driving.
