Where is the tire pressure reset button for MG GS?

The tire pressure reset button for MG GS is located inside the fuse box on the right side of the dashboard, marked with the word "RESET". The reset method is as follows: first turn on the ignition switch, then press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "ding" sound before releasing it. The tire pressure monitoring system will then store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally the warning light on the dashboard will turn off, indicating the tire pressure reset is complete. Tire pressure monitoring is a system that automatically monitors tire pressure in real-time while driving, alerting the driver to tire leaks or low pressure to ensure driving safety. There are three commonly used tire pressure monitoring methods: Direct tire pressure monitoring: Direct tire pressure monitoring devices use pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure tire pressure. The pressure information is transmitted wirelessly from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the tire pressure data for each tire. The system automatically alerts when tire pressure is too low or there is a leak. Indirect tire pressure monitoring: When the pressure in a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the rolling radius of that wheel to become smaller, making it rotate faster than the other wheels. By comparing the rotational speed differences between tires, the system monitors tire pressure. Indirect tire pressure warning systems essentially rely on calculating the rolling radius of tires to monitor pressure. Introduction to Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): It combines the advantages of the two systems mentioned above. Direct sensors are installed in two diagonally opposite tires, along with a 4-wheel indirect system. Compared to using only a direct system, this hybrid system can reduce costs and overcome the indirect system's inability to detect when multiple tires simultaneously have low pressure. However, it still cannot provide real-time data of the actual pressure in all four tires like a direct system.
I've been driving for decades and have encountered many car models. The tire pressure reset button for the MG GS is usually not a separate physical button; it's mostly operated through the multifunction control buttons on the steering wheel. Turn the ignition to the ON position without starting the engine, then press one of the small buttons on the right side of the steering wheel labeled MENU or SET, etc., to access the menu options on the instrument panel display. Look for the vehicle settings section, scroll down, and you'll find the tire pressure monitoring reset option. Hold the confirmation button for a few seconds to complete the reset. The reset is meant to clear the warning light after you've inflated or changed a tire; otherwise, it stays lit on the road, which can be quite annoying. Remember to check the tire pressure of all four tires with a gauge before performing the reset—make sure they're within the normal range, around 2.3-2.5 bar. Otherwise, the reset will be pointless, and you might overlook potential hazards. It's advisable to pay attention to your tires during regular maintenance to extend their lifespan and avoid these reset issues. Checking the owner's manual is the most reliable approach, as it contains more specific details.
