In this video tutorial, you will learn how to remove the lens of the side turn signal bulb to replace it with a new one. First, get a very thin pry tool or a flat screwdriver and extract the lens by pulling it backward, as shown in the video. At this point, the lens will detach, and you can replace it with the new one or change the bulb by pulling it out. Once the new one is installed, reconnect the electrical connector and reinsert the lens by pushing it forward to secure it!

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.
