Lift the vehicle on a ramp or suitable axle stands; then remove the front wheel, take off the protective caps from the brake caliper mounting pins, and remove them. Release the retaining spring of the pads and remove the caliper by extracting the old pads.

Retract the caliper piston to create the necessary space for the new pads. Insert the new pads, reposition the caliper, the retaining spring, and tighten the caliper mounting pins, reapplying the caps.

Be cautious during the first braking.

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.
