To replace the auxiliary belt, you need to remove the front right wheel (passenger side) and the corresponding wheel arch liner to access the belt itself; then loosen the wheel fixing nuts before lifting the vehicle, and complete both the lifting and removal of the wheel; at this point, remove the wheel arch liner and loosen the auxiliary belt tensioner to slip off the belt and complete the removal of the tensioner itself: there is not much room for manoeuvre as the spanner must be inserted through the spokes of the pulley; then proceed in reverse for the installation of the new tensioner, then insert the new belt and tension it using a lever to push the tensioner and tighten the corresponding fixing pin.

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.
