Below we will discover the main instructions that will allow us to disassemble and replace the 12V battery of the Toyota Prius. First, we open the hood of the car to access the battery compartment; then we disconnect both terminals (positive and negative), unscrewing the battery bracket screw to remove it from its compartment, as shown in the video.

At this point, we replace the battery with the new one, of the correct type and with the same amperage; we insert it in the correct direction and make the connection, then verifying the correct ignition of the engine!

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.
