Lift the car with a jack or on a ramp at the location of the shock absorber to be replaced. Remove the wheel.

Open the boot lid and remove the shelf behind the seat. Lower the backrest and take out the boot mat. Remove the plastic covers located at the bottom and sides of the compartment.

Raise the wheel with a hydraulic jack to relieve tension from the shock absorber. Remove the side mat and, once you locate the bolt that secures the shock absorber, undo it. Undo the bolt that secures it at the bottom, near the wheel, and you can then remove it. Take the new shock absorber and install it in the same position.

Repeat all the steps in reverse order. The car on which this maintenance operation is performed, as shown in the images, is a Renault Clio.

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.
