Disassembling the front left door lock requires the following steps. Open the door and detach the plastic trim as shown in the video; then take a long screwdriver to remove the screw that holds the handle and lock in place (to access it, insert the screwdriver into the hole corresponding to the handle itself).

Once done, you can extract both the lock cylinder and the handle. After resolving the issue (with the handle or lock), reassemble everything following the same procedures for disassembly.

Insert the fixing screw, and after applying the side trim to the door, you have finished.

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.
