Open the boot lid and notice the side covers located near the rear lights, which are fitted into the boot lining. Remove the cover for the affected lamp simply by pulling it off by hand.

Unscrew the plastic fixing screw and disconnect the connector from the lamp. Move to the outer area and extract the lamp by pulling firmly and shaking it slightly.

Once removed, pry (with a flat screwdriver) on the rear clips that hold the white housing, where the bulbs are inserted. Replace any affected bulb and proceed in reverse for reassembly.

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.
