Video tutorial

In this video we see how the four-wheel drive lock button of the Toyota RAV-4 works: this mode is not suitable for everyday use, but only for specific situations, such as being stuck in mud, on a snowy surface, or facing a steep incline on a dirt road.

With the vehicle on and traveling at less than 25 mph (about 40 km/h), pressing the button once activates the system and the indicator for the locked center differential will appear on the instrument panel, so that engine power is evenly distributed between the front and rear axles.

To cancel the function, press the button again; the function is also canceled when the indicated speed is exceeded or when the brakes are applied, to allow the braking systems to work properly.

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.
