If you do not have a lift, raise the car using one or two jacks or suitable axle stands. Using a 15mm spanner, move the tensioner pulley of the poly V belt sideways to loosen it and allow for removal.

Once done, return the pulley to its original position. Check the condition of the various pulleys.

Fit the new belt exactly as the old one was installed: to avoid forgetting the belt routing, take photos before removal. As during disassembly, slightly move the tensioner pulley with a 15mm spanner to insert the belt.

How to Reset the Tyre Pressure Warning Light on a Kia Rio?

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.
