Here are the instructions for replacing the belt: first, lift the car and remove the plastic wheel arch liner on the front right and the lower engine cover panel. At this point, you can access the belt; to remove it, you need to loosen the tensioner pulley, which will allow the belt to come off. Take the new belt (check the model code of the belt that fits the vehicle first) and position it. Tension the new belt and refit the tensioner in place.

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

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.
