Kia Rio Mk3 (UB/QBR) 2011-2018

The Kia Rio Mk3 (UB/QBR, 2011–2018) is a supermini sold as a three- and five-door hatch with 1.2 and 1.4 petrol or 1.1 and 1.4 CRDi diesel engines. After routine work a few systems need clearing before the dashboard reads true. The most common is the service/oil maintenance light reset, done with the trip button and ignition; a TPMS relearn teaches new tyre pressures after a rotation or swap; the stop/start system can be switched off; and the electric windows and sunroof need re-initialising after the 12 V battery in the engine bay is disconnected. The emergency jobs are covered too — the park-shift release and the tailgate safety release. Use the list below to open the exact procedure for your Rio UB.
