The front windscreen must be unglued from its seat using the steel wire: pass the wire through the edge of the windscreen and then all around; hook it to the pulling system and proceed to tension the wire which will cut through the sealant (optionally apply the pulling system at multiple points).

Once the windscreen is removed, clean off the excess sealant from the edge of the bodywork, then apply the primer and sealant before repositioning the new windscreen.

Once perfectly aligned, tension the windscreen with ratchet straps and leave the sealant to dry.

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.
