Open the boot lid and support it with a hydraulic jack, as there will be nothing to hold it once you remove the struts. Using a medium-small flathead screwdriver, unclip the retaining ring that connects the gas support strut to the boot lid, then do the same to unclip it at the lower attachment to the bodywork.

Perform the same operation on the other strut, and both will be removed. Clean the strut attachments on the car, then proceed with the installation, which is very simple: just forcefully fit the strut attachments until the retaining ring clicks into place.

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.
