Remove the rear light from the Volkswagen Polo if damaged or if you need to replace the bulbs inside. Open and lift the boot of the car, and remove the cover at the back of the light (boot side).

Unscrew the securing screws of the rear light; once the light is free from any obstruction, detach it from the bodywork (disconnect the relevant power connectors). Replace any damaged bulbs with identical size and voltage pieces.

Refit the light and reverse the assembly process. Test the correct operation of the lights: enter the cabin and switch on the control lights.

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.
