To replace the thermostat on a Kia Picanto, open the bonnet to access the bolts securing the two front headlights. Remove these bolts completely along with the front grille, allowing access to the front of the engine where the coolant hose is located.

This hose must be removed by loosening its retaining clip. At this point, the thermostat will be visible and can be extracted from its housing and replaced with a new part.

After replacement, reassemble the removed parts.
