How to Replace a Daytime Running Light Bulb on the Kia Picanto

Model: Kia Picanto TA, MK 2 - Years 2011-2018
Part: Light bulb

Video tutorial
Detailed instructions - See how to change the daytime running lights on the Kia Picanto 2nd series, without removing the wheel. Turn the steering wheel towards the opposite side of the bulb to be replaced; find the two cross-shaped plastic clips on the inner wing behind the steering wheel, use a screwdriver to turn them 90° (a quarter turn) until they pop out slightly, then remove them with your fingers. Find and remove in the same way, two identical clips at the bottom of the wheel arch, near the bumper. Now gently pull the plastic cover of the wheel arch towards you, without completely detaching it, just creating enough space to get a hand through. Locate the daytime running light holder and unscrew it counter-clockwise. Unscrew the old bulb, replace it with the new one (without touching it with bare hands) and put it back in place. Refit the wheel arch cover and secure the 4 clips you removed.

How to reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Citroën DS4?

The tyre pressure warning light on the Citroën DS4 can be reset by inflating the tyres until they reach the corresponding pressure value, which is indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once all tyres are at this value, turn on the ignition by inserting the key into the ignition switch; this should make the warning light disappear from the dashboard. If it does not reset, start the engine and drive to allow the sensors to read the new values.
