Replacing the original antenna with a shark fin type will give your car a more modern and appealing look. To perform this operation, lower the headlining to access the antenna mounting nut. Go to the rear of the cabin and, using a plastic trim tool, unclip the trim strip along the rear edge, which is secured with pressure clips, then unscrew the fixing screws of the plastic support plate.

Lower the headlining enough to access the antenna base, disconnect the antenna cable, and unscrew the mounting nut to remove the old antenna and install the new one, reversing the process: ensure the gasket underneath is properly positioned.

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.
