To access the rear brake light bulb, open the trunk and the carpeted cover located just behind the light assembly to remove the socket (secured with a wing nut). At this point, replace the damaged bulb (which will appear blackened) with a new one (a bayonet-style incandescent bulb) and reinstall the socket, securing it with the corresponding screw.

Perform a functionality check: if the new bulb is significantly brighter than the other light, replace the other bulb in the same manner.

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.
