Even if you are not a mechanic or bodywork specialist, replacing the external wing mirror of your car is not a very complex task. You just need a bit of patience, a few screwdrivers, and Torx keys.

To carry out the work, open the door and lower the window to work comfortably and calmly on the mirror. Carefully remove the plastic panel as it is clipped in, taking care not to break it while also removing the fastening screws.

Remember that the car's seal must perfectly cover the edges of the new mirror.

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.
