Lower the rear seats and access the tailgate from the inside. With a medium flat-head screwdriver, push up from below the internal metal latch, as shown in the video, and lift it. This way, you will have unlocked the lock and can open the boot from the outside.

To fix the boot, you need to remove the tailgate panel, which is secured only by a T15 Torx screw: unscrew it and manually pull out the panel. Once done, you can disconnect the lock connector and remove it for replacement.

Then proceed in reverse order for reassembly. Good luck!

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.
