You can remove the outer door trim as if it were a fairing, similar to the case of the Smart. However, the first step is to remove the outer handle: once the door is open, along the side edge, near the lock, there is a rubber cover that conceals some fastening pins of the panel in question.

Remove this cover by simply pulling it off: at the handle height, there is a hole to access and unscrew the fastening screw of the handle; once the screw is loosened, the handle comes away. At this point, you can unscrew all the fastening screws of the panel located along the entire edge of the door.

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.
