To signal the opening and closing of the vehicle with a clearly recognisable sound, consider installing an alarm siren (for example, one salvaged from a BMW factory alarm as shown in the video) and connecting it through a relay that will power it to sound when the vehicle is opened and closed.

Position the auxiliary siren, perhaps above the electric fan assembly, and route the power cables neatly under the cross member, next to the wing area, to reach the battery, then under the wiper motor housing where you will place the relay (it is advisable to note the wiring diagram at the end of the video).

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.
