Before you begin, open the door of your Smart Fortwo. Start by unscrewing and removing the Torx screws that secure the internal handle to the door panel, then remove the handle itself.

Next, unscrew and remove the screws that secure the side storage compartment attached to the door panel, and then remove the compartment. At this point, unclip the door panel using a flathead screwdriver as leverage.

Once you complete this step, you can remove the panel, finishing the disassembly. To fit the new panel, simply follow this procedure in reverse, and the replacement will be complete.

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.

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.
