The issue with the indicator stalk on the Grande Punto is quite common, and mechanics and the manufacturer suggest replacing it. However, this intervention costs nearly £200, while this operation only requires a few pounds for a can of electrical cleaner.

Various forums indicate that this operation is successful in almost all cases.

It's worth a try. So: unscrew the six Torx screws beneath the steering wheel and slightly move the trim. Carefully remove the surround around the indicator lever.

Most likely, there will be a top tab that will break, but this won't be noticeable upon reassembly. Blow compressed air to remove dirt that has accumulated at the base of the lever and spray generously with the electrical reactivator you purchased (£6.50 from OBI, the same one in the video).

Now reassemble everything, and you will see that it all works.

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.
