When replacing the cylinder head gasket, it is good practice to use a new set of bolts for securing it. Check the flatness of the cylinder head and block surfaces using a straight edge and a feeler gauge. Then apply the new gasket, position the cylinder head, and use the new bolt kit for securing it, applying copper grease just under the head and on the tip of the thread.

Use a torque wrench and a standard wrench to tighten the bolts in a cross pattern.

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.
