To programme the opening and closing of the windows remotely with the remote control, you need to have the official Opel diagnostic tool (known as OP-COM) and the CAR PASS (the credit card-shaped card with a unique code associated with the vehicle).

Once the diagnostic tool is connected, turn on the ignition, enter the diagnostic module, and select the vehicle by choosing the year of manufacture and engine type.

Then enter the Body section and the REC module, going to programming: at this point, you will need to insert the CAR PASS to access the programming of a new configuration; scroll through the menu until you find the window closing function and check the PRESENT box. Exit the diagnostic tool and perform a functionality check: simply hold down the remote control's open button longer to lower the windows and the close button to raise them.

How to Reset the Tyre Pressure Warning Light on a Kia Rio?

The tyre pressure warning light displayed on the instrument cluster of the Kia Rio can be reset by inflating the tyres until they reach the recommended pressure value: this value is indicated on the sticker affixed to the driver's door pillar. Once all tyres have been inflated to the recommended pressure, turn on the ignition to check that the light has disappeared: if it is still present, it may be necessary to drive for a few miles, allowing the sensors to work and thus turning off the light.
