The first step to replace the brake bulb on the Lancia Ypsilon is to open the tailgate and unscrew the screws holding the light cluster in place using a 10 mm spanner. The screws are located in the thickness where the tailgate strikes when closed.

At this point, insert your fingers into the space left by the bolts and pull towards you while lifting it simultaneously. Using a flathead screwdriver, disconnect the wiring of the light bulbs, freeing the light cluster from the vehicle.

Now you can remove the cover that protects the brake bulb and replace it. Remember never to touch the bulb with bare hands. Refit the bulb in its place.

Now you can reattach the light cluster, reconnecting the connector and then aligning the top part followed by the two side pins. Now you can screw the two screws back in. Job done.

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.
