Video tutorial

The video shows the removal of the entire filter box secured to the throttle body with two nuts: once the nuts are unscrewed and the vapour recovery hoses are disconnected, simply pull upwards on the filter box to remove it completely. Cleaning and/or replacing the engine air filter is maintenance that should not be overlooked as it significantly affects the engine's efficiency in terms of performance and fuel consumption.

It is advisable to periodically check the cleanliness of the filter, assessing both the possibility of simply dusting it and replacing it with a new one.

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.
