Dacia shares Renault's direct TPMS on Duster, Sandero and Jogger — inflate to the placard, then reset with a long press of the OK button on the stalk or through the touchscreen.
Why the Dacia tyre pressure light is on
Dacia fits real wheel sensors that report live pressure. The light means an actually low tyre (most common), a sensor battery at the end of its 6–8 year life, or wheels that have been swapped without the sensors being programmed to the car.
Dacia tyre pressure light reset — step by step
- Inflate all four tyres cold to the door-pillar placard pressures.
- Switch the ignition ON.
- On Sandero III, Duster II/III and Jogger with the Media Nav touchscreen: Vehicle → Tyre Pressure → Reset.
- On older Sandero II, Duster I and Logan with the cluster display: press the OK button on the end of the wiper/column stalk to scroll to 'Tyre Pressure', then press and hold OK for around 3 seconds.
- Drive above 20mph for 10 minutes to finish the relearn.

If the light won't go off
If the warning flashes for about a minute before going steady, that's a system fault — a sensor isn't reporting, so replacing it is the fix, not more air. If it goes steady straight away, you genuinely have a soft tyre; recheck with a proper digital gauge, not the forecourt machine.
What it costs
Reset is free. Sensor replacement £40–£75 per wheel fitted at an independent including programming. Dealer pricing typically £90–£140.
Bob's workshop tip
Duster owners who run off-road or on farm tracks knock sensors about more than they realise. If you drop pressures for grip and put them back up afterwards, always re-run the reset or the car will keep nagging.

What Bob keeps in the boot
A pump puts air back in, but it will not seal the hole. For a nail or a screw in the tread, the repair itself is the Emergency Puncture Repair Kit — £9.99 with free UK delivery: rubber rope plugs, reamer, T-handle tool and rubber solution, posted from the workshop in Birnam, Dunkeld. If you would rather not take a wheel off at the roadside, the quick-fix tyre repair spray is the no-tools option. Keeping the pressures right in the first place is covered in tyre pressures by registration and resetting the tyre pressure warning light, and the pump itself in Bob's electric tyre pump picks.
Be straight about what a plug is: a get-you-home repair for small punctures in the central three-quarters of the tread. Never plug sidewall or shoulder damage, drive gently afterwards, and have the tyre inspected or replaced by a tyre specialist as soon as you can.
