Video tutorial

In this video, we will see where the battery is located in the BMW 2 Series. It is typically found in the engine compartment, but it is hidden behind a dark plastic cover that conceals most of the suspension/wheel arch area.

There are no screws; the cover is secured only by clips (or simply snapped in place, depending on the version). Grasp it and lift it firmly.

You may need to remove a rubber seal or a small cover from the fuse box that is sometimes located above it, at least partially. This is an AGM battery, so if you need to replace it, you must purchase a battery of the same type.

The positive terminal is covered by a protective cap. Under the hood, there is a separate jump start terminal for starting with cables.

How to Reset the Tyre Pressure Warning Light on a Kia Rio?

The tyre pressure warning light displayed on the instrument cluster of the Kia Rio can be reset by inflating the tyres until they reach the recommended pressure value: this value is indicated on the sticker affixed to the driver's door pillar. Once all tyres have been inflated to the recommended pressure, turn on the ignition to check that the light has disappeared: if it is still present, it may be necessary to drive for a few miles, allowing the sensors to work and thus turning off the light.
