Damage to brake calipers is not a frequent failure, but overheating during braking and often corrosion caused by driving on salted snowy roads can lead to breakage. Replacing the caliper is a straightforward task: lift the vehicle and remove the front wheel, unclip the outer spring attached to the caliper, remove the protective caps from the caliper fastening pins, and unscrew the pins to detach the caliper from its support and disconnect the brake fluid pipe.

Then, attach the pipe to the new caliper, secure it to the support, reattach the outer spring, and perform the bleeding.

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.
