Video tutorial

In this video tutorial, you can see how to replace the brake light bulb on a 2020 Kia Sportage by following some simple steps that will allow you to manage your vehicle independently. Get in the car, turn off the engine, and pull the handbrake.

Take a flathead screwdriver and pry off the plastic cover of the rear light, as shown in the video. Once the cover is removed, unscrew the two cross-head screws, and once unscrewed, gently pull the light back until it is removed from its housing (use both hands for a good grip).

Once the light is removed, to take out the rear light bulb, simply rotate it counterclockwise and then pull it out; replace the old bulb with a new one and reassemble all parts in reverse order.

What does the red or orange zig-zag warning light mean on the Dacia Sandero?

In this video, you will learn what the warning light depicting a red or orange zig-zag on the dashboard of the Dacia Sandero means. This is a multifunction warning light; if it appears red, it is a prompt to stop as soon as possible, switch off the engine, and exit the vehicle quickly, contacting a recovery service and the Dacia Dealer. If it lights up orange, it indicates an electronic fault in the vehicle; you can continue driving, but you must reach a Dacia service centre as soon as possible. If it lights up alongside the spanner symbol, it means it is time for a service, which is due every year or 10,000 miles (whichever comes first). The service is mandatory to maintain the warranty. If it lights up together with the tyre warning light, it indicates a loss of pressure in one of the tyres. You should check all the tyres as soon as possible to identify the source of the pressure loss. If it stays on with the engine warning light, it indicates a problem with the vehicle's emissions system; if it flashes, the issue may be a component of the engine, such as the spark plugs or coil, for example. On diesel versions, it may light up alongside the glow plug symbol, indicating a related issue. If it lights up with the ESP symbol, it means there is a fault in the system that needs checking.
