Replacing the rear shocks on this model is a job that can be easily done yourself and becomes even simpler if you have a lift; start by raising the vehicle and then remove the rear wheel (this is not necessary but improves maneuvering space); then apply a jack to support the rear suspension during the shock removal, unscrew the lower eyelet mounting bolt, then remove the upper one and take out the old shock; then install the new one, securing it with the respective bolts.

To reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV, inflate the tyres until they reach the correct pressure value.

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.
