Let's see how to replace the brake pads on a Volkswagen Polo. Lift the car with a jack and remove the wheel to access the disc and brake caliper. Unscrew the caliper locking pin and remove it from the wheel hub. Use a screwdriver to detach the pads from the wheel hub caliper, then remove the brake caliper (unscrew the disc securing screws if you want to replace it). Install the new pads in the operating caliper, then mount the brake caliper with the support onto the brake disc.

Bleed the brake caliper, then mount the wheel. Test the brakes.

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.
