The coolant in your car should be replaced at the frequency indicated in the manual, as it is a product that loses its properties over time. Consult the manual for the necessary quantity to add. Remove the cap from the expansion tank and allow the fluid to drain into a container.

Once the system is completely drained, screw the drain cap back on and reconnect the hose to avoid air bubbles forming in the system. When the fluid reaches the correct level between the minimum and maximum marks, close the bleed valve and the cap of the tank.

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.
