The necessary tools are a ratchet wrench, a set of open-end wrenches, and replacement arms. Lift the car on a lift and remove the wheel to access the mechanics.

Locate the suspension connection and proceed to remove it by unscrewing all the bolts. Use a small hammer and a punch to drive the bolts out of their seats after spraying them generously with penetrating oil. Also, remove the steering arm support by unscrewing the two bolts.

If necessary, use a hammer drill. Unscrew the three support bolts located in the engine compartment and remove the complete suspension with the spring.

Remove the attached arms and replace them with new ones. Reinstall the shock absorber and the rest of the mechanics that were previously removed.

How to reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV?

To reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV, inflate the tyres until they reach the correct pressure value. This value is indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tyres are inflated, turn on the instrument cluster to check that the warning light has completely disappeared from the display. If it is still present, you may need to drive for a few miles to ensure it disappears completely from the screen.
