Re: Kia e-Niro a target for thieves?
The keyless entry can be disabled on my Niro 3 HEV by locking the car with the fob then pressing the fob lock and unlock buttons together for c. 5 secs until the indicators flash 4 times.

Re: Kia e-Niro a target for thieves?
My new model 72 plate Niro switches off the key if the key is left stationary for at least 10 minutes so it's not vulnerable to relay theft.

Re: Forward looking safety systems contantly failing
I've had this twice but only on roads in Hampshire when staying away from home. I concluded it's a 'feature' of the car either due to a software bug with the sensors being confused by processing the data or interference as you say. The issue of 7 warnings going off in sequence is simply poor softwar...

New Niro Owner
I just ordered a new Niro 3 Hybrid in Steel Grey due in November. I hope it will be as reliable as Jap cars I have been running for 40 years. I found the owners manual but can't locate the infotainment guide. Does anyone have a link? Has anyone bought a space saver tyre and wheel. If so, where did y...
