Open the bonnet by lifting the lever located under the dashboard on the driver's side near the door. Locate the box containing the filter on the left side of the engine bay just behind the headlamp assembly.

Unclip the catches securing the box cover and lift the cover itself. This will give you access to the compartment containing the filter, which can then be removed.

Take the new filter that must meet the specifications suitable for the car model (see the owner's manual) and place it in the housing. Reposition the box cover and secure the catches.

Finally, close the bonnet.

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.
