Before proceeding with the replacement, position the wipers in maintenance mode; otherwise, you cannot lift them: turn the ignition on and off and position the wiper control lever downwards. At this point, lift the wiper arm to detach it: pay attention to the asymmetry of the blades and compare their lengths before replacing.

To detach it, press the lock (a square-shaped button) and slide the blade off; then apply the new one by sliding it into the guide until the lock clicks into place.

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.
