The first task is to remove the front bumper by unscrewing the upper screws, the lower screws, and the screws located in the wheel arch. Remove the crash bar, and now you need to unscrew the screw on the side of the air conditioning radiator to move it and work comfortably on the heating radiator.

The pipes to remove are located behind the radiator, and once removed, you can take the radiators out from the clips that hold them on the grille. Now remove the last pipe that goes towards the engine.

Move the first radiator and slightly pull forward the rear one, lifting it upwards. This will allow you to access its rear part to disconnect the fan connectors.

Now all you need to do is lift the radiator and carry out the necessary operations.

How to Reset the Tyre Pressure Warning Light on a Kia Rio?

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.
