Start by removing the top part of the gear knob, the one with the gear markings: this is a very simple operation, just lever in the surrounding gap with a small flat screwdriver. Pull the gear gaiter from the base: to do this, simply pull it by hand, but if you encounter difficulties, you can again use the small flat screwdriver for assistance.

Lift it completely to the knob, which you can detach by pulling and slightly unscrewing it. If necessary, loosen the plastic clip. Remove the gaiter, insert the new one and clip it into the base, then fit the knob and you’re done.

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.
