Open the boot and unscrew the three 8 mm screws located at the top of the rear bumper. Then move to the lower area, possibly raising the car with a jack and unscrew the two screws, also 8 mm, located just behind the wheel (one on each side).

Now access the area underneath the bumper and unscrew the four 17 mm bolts using a socket wrench. To remove the bumper, the operation is very simple but must be done gently: pull it out of its seat by hand, one part at a time, without damaging the clips until completely removed.

As you can see, this is an operation within everyone's reach.

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.
