Video tutorial

The following video tutorial shows how to adjust the handbrake on the Seat Ibiza independently. To adjust the handbrake, you need to use a 10 mm socket wrench.

Get into the vehicle and sit in the back seats, remove the handbrake cover to access the nut; using the wrench, tighten the nut. Once you reach the desired level of firmness, close the cover and sit in the driver's seat to test the handbrake's functionality.

If it does not work properly, it will be necessary to visit an authorised workshop for targeted checks.

How to Reset the Tyre Pressure Warning Light on a Kia Rio?

The tyre pressure warning light displayed on the instrument cluster of the Kia Rio can be reset by inflating the tyres until they reach the recommended pressure value: this value is indicated on the sticker affixed to the driver's door pillar. Once all tyres have been inflated to the recommended pressure, turn on the ignition to check that the light has disappeared: if it is still present, it may be necessary to drive for a few miles, allowing the sensors to work and thus turning off the light.
