Over time, with use and exposure to the elements, the hinges or the stop limiting the door's opening can dry out, causing squeaks. First, it is good practice to check the hinges and the stop periodically, without waiting for them to dry out completely.

If you hear squeaks, try using a common penetrating spray with a straw to spray into the hardest-to-reach corners. These products are not only lubricants but also act as cleaners, so I would recommend using some grease from an aerosol can afterwards.

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.
