Programming an "old style" remote on a 2014 Ford Escape/Kuga (with a blade key and 80-bit chip) is simple. Sit in the driver's seat and close the door.

Press the "LOCK" button and then the "UNLOCK" button on the remote to be programmed. Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the ON and OFF position for four complete cycles (ON-OFF-ON-OFF-ON-OFF-ON-OFF). The system will beep three times to confirm entry into programming mode.

At this point, press the "LOCK" button once. The system will respond with two beeps.

Turn the key to the ON position, then OFF. Press "LOCK" to verify functionality. The remote is now programmed.

This procedure works for most Ford remotes of that generation.

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.
