To fit the side steps on the Kia Sportage, start by removing the fixings in the rear wheel arch of the bar under the side doors and those in the front wheel arches that also support the splash guard. Remove the bar and use a plastic lever to take out the retaining clips and lower caps.

Insert four threaded pins into the lower part where you will attach the four brackets. Take the side step and insert four threaded nuts into the lower guide along with the retaining clips, then position the side step in place.

From underneath, align the threaded nuts with the brackets, insert the bolts, and tighten all the nuts.

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.
