Video tutorial

The rear suspension of the Peugeot 106, especially in the earlier models, was famous for being "bouncy," which made it very popular among rally drivers on dirt roads, although it could be quite unsettling for everyday road driving. The rear of the 106, as the YouTuber points out, has a stabilizer bar (also known as a "Panhard" bar) that controls its movement.

This system, with its trailing arms and torsion bar, is lightweight and economical, but less precise compared to a multilink or a solid axle; under load, the geometry tends to change, causing a nervous effect in corners. Additionally, over time, the shock absorbers lose effectiveness, the bearings of the arms and the bushings of the bar wear out, increasing play and instability.

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.
