Is the roof giving you opening problems? Here’s how to open it manually. Open the boot: use a screwdriver to remove the trim panel on the sides of the boot, then, using a spanner or socket wrench, unscrew the nuts on the roof opening motors (if present).

Unscrew the central pin of the roof on the upper side. Once the nuts are removed, manually move the roof back (as shown in the video).

Open the roof manually from the vehicle body. Repair the electrical system of the roof or ensure that it can always be opened manually.

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.
