If the voice recognition function on your vehicle is not active and when you press the Voice button, the display shows: "You can activate the voice command function using an activation code. Please contact your dealer," it means the function is locked.

The only way to unlock it and use the voice commands to activate all the vehicle's functions is to take the car to an official dealer, and only they can proceed to activate it. Obviously, this service at the official network incurs a cost.

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.
