If the rocker panel is damaged, it is recommended to replace it rather than repair it, as the replacement part is not very expensive and the repair may not be particularly precise. The replacement is extremely simple since the rocker panel is secured with push clips and snap tabs; however, before proceeding with the removal, disconnect the inner sill cover, the weatherstrip, and the outer sill cover.

At this point, remove the push clips at the front and rear wheel wells and completely detach the rocker panel along its entire length; then install the new one.

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.
