Replacing the license plate light bulbs is very easy as it simply involves extracting the light holder by prying it sideways to release the retaining metal tab; once the light holder is removed, take out the old bulb and insert the new one (bayonet type), ensuring it lights up properly.

After that, reposition the light holder in its place, making sure it clips in correctly; if you notice a difference in brightness between the new bulb and the other light holder, replace that one too, possibly opting for LED bulbs.

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.
