In the event of a breakage of just the mirror of the external wing mirror, it is usually possible to replace only the mirror as it is a readily available aftermarket part. Another quick and economical solution is to overlay a new mirror onto the broken one without removing anything: a new mirror perfectly shaped and already equipped with double-sided tape on the back is also available in the aftermarket.

Therefore, clean the surface of the broken mirror thoroughly, remove the film from the back of the new mirror, align it with the broken one, and apply it ensuring it adheres correctly.

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.
