To remove the rear door panel, start by unscrewing the lock, disconnecting the window switch, and removing the protective cap over the screw inside the handle trim. Then, unscrew the underlying screw, disconnect the overhead light assembly under the panel, and unclip the pressure clips along the edges.

To complete the removal, disconnect the wiring harness connectors and, if necessary, also remove the sound-deadening material by peeling it off carefully to avoid tearing it (a utility knife can be used).

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.
