Video tutorial

Before proceeding with the removal of the auxiliary V-belt, it is advisable to memorise or note down the routing of the belt around the various pulleys. To replace it, you will need the appropriate tool, which consists of a square peg to insert into the centre of the tensioner to loosen it, and a pin to lock the tensioner in place.

Once the peg is inserted into the centre of the tensioner, loosen it with the appropriate spanner and insert the pin to hold it in this position; then remove the old belt and fit the new one, ensuring it follows the routing around the pulleys. Loosen the tensioner slightly again to allow for the removal of the pin and then re-tension it.

How to Reset the Tyre Pressure Warning Light on a Kia Rio?

The tyre pressure warning light displayed on the instrument cluster of the Kia Rio can be reset by inflating the tyres until they reach the recommended pressure value: this value is indicated on the sticker affixed to the driver's door pillar. Once all tyres have been inflated to the recommended pressure, turn on the ignition to check that the light has disappeared: if it is still present, it may be necessary to drive for a few miles, allowing the sensors to work and thus turning off the light.
