Let’s see how the media system works on the Smart Fortwo: the 7" screen is capacitive, making it very responsive to touch, and on the home screen, there are 6 main menus. However, the icons can sometimes be a bit small to hit on the first touch.

An alternative is voice commands, but they are not always reliable, as it has not always been possible to set a destination on the navigation system while the car is moving, or to make a call via hands-free. There is a USB port and an AUX-in, as well as a 12-volt socket.

The Smart media system is an optional extra on nearly the entire range, which also includes automatic climate control. Alternatively, you can use the system via cable with mirroring, but be careful as not all smartphones are compatible.

In this case, you can use the free SmartCrossConnect app, which has many useful functions.

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.
