To clean the filter in the oil vapour recovery duct, remove the air filter housing and the 90° elbow located on the duct in question (the duct is on the right side of the rocker cover, just behind the spark plug boot). Once the elbow is removed, you can access the filter, which should be carefully extracted using pliers by gripping the central stem; the filter is a sort of spiral-shaped mesh.

Clean the filter and reassemble it in reverse order.

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.
