In this short guide, we will see how the active energy saving mode of the Citroen C3 (but also on most models of the manufacturer) works, by deactivating this system. The active energy saving mode activates when, with the car off, there are energy absorptions such as turning on the radio or the instrument panel; after a few minutes, in fact, the control unit automatically turns off all systems to safeguard the battery life.

To deactivate this mode, it is necessary to restart the engine, thus restoring the battery charging cycle.

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.
