Damage to the ignition unit of the xenon headlight lamps on Mercedes vehicles is a fairly common fault: it is possible to purchase it aftermarket at reasonable prices. The ignition unit is integrated within the headlight's closure cap and includes a lamp holder to connect to the bulb; therefore, detach the cap from the rear of the headlight, disconnect the lamp holder, replace the ignition unit inside, and reconnect everything; then perform headlight ignition checks to test the efficiency of the new unit.

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.
