To remove the outside rearview mirror, you need to take off the triangular plastic cover located right next to the mirror itself and unscrew the screws underneath (you do not need to remove the door panel); once the screws are removed, take the mirror out of its housing after disconnecting the plug; at this point, rotate the mirror downward and detach it gently, apply grease at the anchoring points and the adjustment system, and reattach the mirror in its housing by pressing until you hear a click.

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.
