If you happen to remove or disconnect the battery, then our radio will ask us to enter the security code. If we were unable to find it in the onboard documentation (but let's also look inside the glove compartment, there might be a sticker), the solution is to remove the radio and find the pre-code, with which we can obtain the code to enter in the radio, through a free phone application.

The pre-code is located on the right side of the radio, and it is the last 4 digits of a long number. We must download the "Renault/Dacia radio code generator" application and enter these four alphanumeric characters, which will generate our code.

We enter it by pressing the 1 button as many times as the first number, and we will do the same with the second, third, and fourth. There is a small button under the lever on the right side of the steering wheel.

We will hold it down until the radio activates.

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.
