These instructions apply to the Nissan NV300 2016-2021.

The Nissan NV300 (2016–2021) watches your tyre pressures and warns when one drops. After you’ve adjusted the pressures or changed a wheel or tyre, the system needs telling the current pressures are the new reference — a quick dashboard reset.
The NV300 was Nissan’s take on the Renault Trafic III under the Renault-Nissan alliance, sold from 2016 to 2021, after which Nissan revived the ‘Primastar’ name for the facelifted version.
Set the Pressures First
Inflate the tyres to the correct pressures cold before resetting — the reset memorises whatever’s in the tyres as the target. The figures are on the label in the driver’s door aperture and differ unladen vs fully loaded.
Reset the Tyre Pressure Warning
- With the van stopped, turn the ignition on.
- Scroll the dashboard menu to ‘Tyre pressure’ (on some vans via the ‘Vehicle’ menu first).
- Press and hold the OK/reset button for at least 3 seconds until a confirmation shows.
- Drive the van to relearn and complete the reset.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between the Nissan NV300 and the Primastar?
They’re the same van at different points in time: the NV300 (2016–2021) is the Trafic-based model these guides cover, and Nissan brought back the ‘Primastar’ name in 2021 for the facelifted version — same platform, revised front end.
How do I reset the tyre pressure light on a Nissan NV300?
Ignition on, select ‘Tyre pressure’, hold OK for about three seconds until it confirms, then drive. Set the correct cold pressures first.
Why won’t the warning go off?
Either a tyre is genuinely low — check and inflate all of them — or the system wasn’t reset after the last adjustment.
Do I reset after fitting the spare?
Yes — any wheel or tyre change means resetting the reference once the correct pressures are set.
Is it the same as a Renault Trafic?
Yes — as Nissan’s version of the Renault Trafic it uses the same dashboard system, so the reset is identical across the Renault Trafic, Fiat Talento and Vauxhall/Opel Vivaro.
