How do you remove the gear knob on the Chevrolet Cruze? Remove the knob to replace it or to change the leather gaiter covering the shaft. Hold the knob in your hands and rotate it left and right until you can remove it from the gear stick.

Use a plastic lever to detach the frame of the leather gaiter (if being replaced). Fit the new leather gaiter using the clips (if removed), then take the new knob and slide it onto the shaft in the centre console until it is secured.

Check the proper tightening of the knob onto the gear stick at the end of the installation.

How to reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV?

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. If it is still present, you may need to drive for a few miles to ensure it disappears completely from the screen.
