Let’s replace the damaged bulbs in the knobs on a Volkswagen Polo. Remove the ventilation knobs using your hands or pliers. Disconnect the air conditioning control frames with a screwdriver (levering them off) if you need to remove the other bulbs.

Pull the bulbs out from the instrument panel (as shown in the video). Be careful not to break the plastic tabs on the knobs.

After removing the central knob from the panel, replace the bulb and refit it. Remove the other air control knobs using the same procedure. Test the operation of the new bulbs.

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.
