Remember that the Beetle has a rear engine, so the clutch cable runs from the pedal to the rear engine compartment, passing through the central tunnel. To replace it, you must remove the pedal assembly to attach the eyelet at one end of the cable to the designated hook on the pedal.

Grease the steel cable generously and thread it into the designated sheath until it reaches the adjuster on the gearbox. Reassemble the pedal assembly and carry out the adjustment, avoiding excessive tension on the cable to prevent burning out the clutch.

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.
