When filling the engine cooling system, it is crucial to avoid the formation of air bubbles in the circuit, as the presence of air could lead to an increase in engine temperature with obvious consequences. Once the engine bay is open, locate the coolant reservoir and the two bleed valves, one located on the front radiator and the other near the heater radiator.

Start filling the reservoir by opening the valve on the radiator; air will escape first, followed by water. Close this valve and open the other one to repeat the same operation.

Finally, if necessary, top up the fluid level in the reservoir by reopening the first valve.

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.
