Video tutorial
In vehicles with an automatic gearbox, the engine can only be started if the gear lever is in the "P" position for parking: this information is communicated to the engine management unit via a micro switch located under the gear lever; a malfunction of this device can prevent the engine from starting. To access the micro switch, remove the gear lever handle by unscrewing the side fixing screw and the lower cover. At this point, disconnect the micro switch and remove it by unscrewing the relevant fixing screw; you also need to remove the closure contact located under the gear lever. Ensure the spring is functioning correctly and apply solder to the closure contact to compensate for wear, smoothing it with sandpaper (repeat the process if necessary).

Frequently Asked QuestionsHow 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. by ScegliAuto More videos
