Remove the small plastic cover located between the gearbox and the climate control switches, followed by the larger main plastic cover. Using a plastic lever (not metal!), gently lift the gear lever gaiter a little at a time, with patience.

Once the gaiter is fully raised, use pliers to detach the entire upper part of the gearbox, which consists of the gaiter itself and the knob. If you wish to keep the gaiter, detach it from the knob and insert the new piece: reverse the process for reassembly, fitting the new knob, placing the gaiter back in position, and reinstalling the plastics.

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.
