If you need to repaint any body element, the quality of preparation is absolutely essential: first, straighten any dents to minimize the amount of filler needed (after straightening, it may be necessary to perform heat shrinking to reinforce the metal that has been stressed from hammering); then, sand the filler to perfectly restore the profiles; apply primer and after it has fully dried, wet sand to make the surface perfectly smooth; thoroughly clean the surface with solvent or silicone remover and proceed with painting, applying multiple consecutive coats until full coverage is achieved: do not expect to get a finished result on the first pass; finally, apply the clear coat and let it dry.

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.
