Lift the bonnet and secure it. Locate the diesel filter housing, which is on your centre-left towards the windscreen when facing the vehicle. Using a socket wrench, unscrew the two bolts securing the filter cover.

Lift the filter from its housing and disconnect the two inlet and outlet pipes, as shown in the video (first place rags under the filter area). Allow any remaining liquid to drain from the filter and open the compartment by unscrewing the top screw with a T30 Torx key. Replace the filter and reverse the steps for reassembly.

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.
