Removing the driver's front seat is very simple. Start by sliding the seat all the way forward to access the rear mounting bolts on the seat tracks to the vehicle floor.

With the seat in this position, remove the plastic cap on the side that covers the seatbelt mounting to disconnect it. Next, slide the seat all the way back to access the front mounting bolts, remove them, and lift the seat to disconnect the connectors underneath, completing the removal from the cabin.

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.
