Video tutorial

Let's see in this video how to avoid losing the synchronisation of a Nissan vehicle remote after changing the battery: insert the key into the ignition barrel without starting the engine. Turn the key between ON and OFF six times quickly (within ten seconds total).

On the sixth turn, leave the key in the OFF position. At this point, you will receive a confirmation signal: the indicator lights will flash twice.

Remove the key from the ignition. Press and hold the "lock" button on the remote for three seconds; while doing this, also press the "unlock" button.

Then release both at the same time. Now reinsert the key and start the car to test the buttons.

Compatible models include: X-Trail up to 2007; Murano I; Terrano II; 350Z.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a MG ZS?

On the instrument cluster of the MG ZS, the tire pressure light that appears can be reset by inflating the tires to the correct pressure: this value will be indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tires have been properly inflated, you can turn on the instrument cluster and navigate through the menu until you find the option that indicates tire pressure: if this screen shows the new values, the light will turn off; otherwise, you will need to drive for a few miles so that the sensors can read the new values and turn off the light afterward.
