To replace the timing belt, you need to access the engine from the side. After lifting the car, remove the front right wheel and the corresponding wheel arch liner.

Now, loosen the bolts of the pulley on the crankshaft and make space for manoeuvres from the top of the engine by removing the air filter and the engine mount after placing a jack under the engine itself. Now, remove the timing belt cover in two pieces and disconnect the sensor cables that pass through it. Before starting the final disassembly, take the necessary precautions for timing as shown.

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.
