Replacing the starter battery is certainly a maintenance task that can be easily done DIY, provided you dispose of the old one properly. It is likely that the retailer will also give you a discount as a deposit if you let them dispose of it. That said, on the 3 Series, the battery is located in the rear, in the trunk, beneath the load floor, shifted to the right (passenger side).

To access it, you must also remove the side trim that serves as a storage compartment. Once you reach the battery, first disconnect the positive terminal plate, then disconnect the battery terminals, the vent tube, and remove the side mounting plate.

At this point, you can extract the old battery and proceed in reverse to install the new one.

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.
