Start with the coolant; ensure the engine is cold. Remove the cap and check the level by tilting the neck to see the fluid level, which should be between the minimum and maximum marks.

If the fluid is insufficient, add distilled water or Paraflu. To check the oil level, pull out the dipstick, clean it, reinsert it fully, then remove it again to check.

Top up if necessary. For the brake fluid, a visual inspection of the reservoir is sufficient; you can shake it if needed.

If it appears too dark, the fluid should be changed.

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.
