Before proceeding with the removal, if the vehicle has been cold for a long time, gently warm the mirror with a hairdryer to avoid breaking the plastic clips. Adjust the mirror fully outward to create enough space to insert your fingers and gently pull it off; disconnect the demisting wires and remove it from its housing.

Then unscrew the fixing screws of the cover and widen the plastic clips to remove it. It may be useful to remove the covers for repainting or applying adhesive films with chrome or carbon effects.

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.
