Nissan Murano Hybrid (2016 year). Instruction

● The TPMS sensor may be damaged if it

is not handled correctly. Be careful
when handling the TPMS sensor.

● When replacing the TPMS sensor, the

ID registration may be required. It is
recommended

you

visit

NISSAN

dealer for ID registration.

● Do not use a valve stem cap that is not

specified by NISSAN. The valve stem
cap may become stuck.

● Be sure that the valve stem caps are

correctly fitted. Otherwise the valve may
be clogged up with dirt and cause a
malfunction or loss of pressure.

● Do not install a damaged or deformed

wheel or tire even if it has been re-
paired. Such wheels or tires could have
structural damage and could fail with-
out warning.

● The use of retread tires is not

recommended.

● For additional information regarding

tires, refer to “Important Tire Safety In-
formation” (US) or “Tire Safety Informa-
tion” (Canada) in the Warranty Informa-
tion Booklet.

Wheel balance

Unbalanced wheels may affect vehicle handling
and tire life. Even with regular use, wheels can get
out of balance. Therefore, they should be bal-
anced as required.

Wheel balance service should be per-
formed with the wheels off the vehicle.
Spin balancing the wheels on the vehicle
could lead to mechanical damage.

● For additional information regarding

tires, refer to “Important Tire Safety
Information” (US) or “Tire Safety Infor-
mation” (Canada) in the Warranty In-
formation Booklet.

Care of wheels

● Wash the wheels when washing the vehicle

to maintain their appearance.

● Clean the inner side of the wheels when the

wheel is changed or the underside of the
vehicle is washed.

● Do not use abrasive cleaners when washing

the wheels.

● Inspect wheel rims regularly for dents or

corrosion. Such damage may cause loss of
pressure or poor seal at the tire bead.

● NISSAN recommends waxing the road

wheels to protect against road salt in areas
where it is used during winter.

Spare tire (TEMPORARY USE ONLY
spare tire)

Since the spare tire is not equipped with the
TPMS, when a spare tire is mounted (TEMPO-
RARY USE ONLY or conventional), the TPMS
will not function.

Observe the following precautions if the TEM-
PORARY USE ONLY spare tire must be used.
Otherwise, your vehicle could be damaged or
involved in an accident:

WARNING

● The spare tire should be used for emer-

gency use only. It should be replaced
with the standard tire at the first oppor-
tunity to avoid possible tire or differen-
tial damage.

● Drive carefully while the TEMPORARY

USE ONLY spare tire is installed. Avoid
sharp turns and abrupt braking while
driving.

8-42

Maintenance and do-it-yourself

● Periodically check spare tire inflation

pressure. Always keep the pressure of
the TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare tire
at 420 kPa, 4.2 bar (60 psi).

● With the TEMPORARY USE ONLY spare

tire installed do not drive the vehicle at
speeds faster than 80 km/h (50 mph).

● When driving on roads covered with

snow or ice, the TEMPORARY USE
ONLY spare tire should be used on the
rear wheels and the original tire used
on the front wheels (drive wheels).

● Tire tread of the TEMPORARY USE

ONLY spare tire will wear at a faster rate
than the standard tire. Replace the
spare tire as soon as the tread wear
indicators appear.

● Do not use the spare tire on other

vehicles.

● Do not use more than one spare tire at

the same time.

● Do not tow a trailer when the TEMPO-

RARY USE ONLY spare tire is installed.

CAUTION

● Do not use tire chains on a TEMPO-

RARY USE ONLY spare tire. Tire chains
will not fit properly and may cause dam-
age to the vehicle.

● Because the TEMPORARY USE ONLY

spare tire is smaller than the original
tire, ground clearance is reduced. To
avoid damage to the vehicle, do not
drive over obstacles. Also, do not drive
the vehicle through an automatic car
wash since it may get caught.

FUEL RECOMMENDATION

Use unleaded regular gasoline with an octane
rating of at least 87 AKI (Anti-Knock Index) num-
ber (Research octane number 91).

CAUTION

● Using a fuel other than that specified

could adversely affect the emission
control system, and may also affect the
warranty coverage.

● Under no circumstances should a

leaded gasoline be used, because this
will damage the three-way catalyst.

● Do not use E-15 or E-85 fuel in your

vehicle. Your vehicle is not designed to
run on E-15 or E-85 fuel. Using E-15 or
E-85 fuel in a vehicle not specifically
designed for E-15 or E-85 fuel can ad-
versely affect the emission control de-
vices and systems of the vehicle. Dam-
age caused by such fuel is not covered
by the NISSAN New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.

● Do not use fuel that contains the octane

booster methylcyclopentadienyl man-
ganese tricarbonyl (MMT). Using fuel
containing MMT may adversely affect
vehicle performance and vehicle emis-
sions. Not all fuel dispensers are la-
beled to indicate MMT content, so you
may have to consult your gasoline re-
tailer for more details. Note that Fed-
eral and California laws prohibit the use
of MMT in reformulated gasoline.

● U.S. government regulations require

ethanol dispensing pumps to be identi-
fied by a small, square, orange and
black label with the common abbrevia-
tion or the appropriate percentage for
that region.

Gasoline specifications

NISSAN recommends using gasoline that meets
the World-Wide Fuel Charter (WWFC) specifi-
cations where it is available. Many of the automo-
bile manufacturers developed this specification
to improve emission control system and vehicle
performance. Ask your service station manager if
the gasoline meets the WWFC specifications.

Reformulated gasoline

Some fuel suppliers are now producing reformu-
lated gasolines. These gasolines are specially

designed to reduce vehicle emissions. NISSAN
supports efforts towards cleaner air and sug-
gests that you use reformulated gasoline when
available.

Gasoline containing oxygenates

Some fuel suppliers sell gasoline containing oxy-
genates such as ethanol, Methyl Tert-butyl Ether
(MTBE) and methanol with or without advertising
their presence. NISSAN does not recommend
the use of fuels of which the oxygenate content
and the fuel compatibility for your NISSAN can-
not be readily determined. If in doubt, ask your
service station manager.

If you use oxygenate-blend gasoline, please take
the following precautions as the usage of such
fuels may cause vehicle performance problems
and/or fuel system damage.

● The fuel should be unleaded and have

an octane rating no lower than that
recommended for unleaded gasoline.

● If an oxygenate-blend other than

methanol blend is used, it should con-
tain no more than 10% oxygenate.
(MTBE may, however, be added up to
15%.)

9-4

Technical and consumer information

● E-15 fuel contains more than 10% oxy-

genate. E-15 fuel will adversely affect
the emission control devices and sys-
tems of the vehicle and should not be
used. Damage caused by such fuel is
not covered by the NISSAN New Ve-
hicle Limited Warranty.

● If a methanol blend is used, it should

contain no more than 5% methanol
(methyl

alcohol,

wood

alcohol).

should also contain a suitable amount
of appropriate cosolvents and corro-
sion inhibitors. If not properly formu-
lated with appropriate cosolvents and
corrosion inhibitors, such methanol
blends may cause fuel system damage
and/or vehicle performance problems.
At this time, sufficient data is not avail-
able to ensure that all methanol blends
are suitable for use in NISSAN ve-
hicles.

If any driveability problems such as engine stall-
ing and difficult hot-starting are experienced after
using

oxygenate-blend

fuels,

immediately

change to a non-oxygenate fuel or a fuel with a
low blend of MTBE.

Take care not to spill gasoline during refu-
eling. Gasoline containing oxygenates can
cause paint damage.

E–15 fuel

E-15 fuel is a mixture of approximately 15% fuel
ethanol and 85% unleaded gasoline. E-15 can
only be used in vehicles designed to run on E-15
fuel. Do not use E-15 in your vehicle. U.S. gov-
ernment regulations require fuel ethanol dispens-
ing pumps to be identified with small, square,
orange and black label with the common abbre-
viation or the appropriate percentage for that
region.

E–85 fuel

E-85 fuel is a mixture of approximately 85% fuel
ethanol and 15% unleaded gasoline. E-85 can
only be used in a Flexible Fuel Vehicle (FFV). Do
not use E-85 in your vehicle. U.S. government
regulations require fuel ethanol dispensing
pumps to be identified by a small, square, orange
and black label with the common abbreviation or
the appropriate percentage for that region.

Fuel containing MMT

MMT, or methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tri-
carbonyl, is an octane boosting additive. NISSAN
does not recommend the use of fuel containing
MMT. Such fuel may adversely affect vehicle per-
formance, including the emissions control sys-
tem. Note that while some fuel pumps label MMT
content, not all do, so you may have to consult
your gasoline retailer for more details.

Aftermarket fuel additives

NISSAN does not recommend the use of any
aftermarket fuel additives (for example, fuel injec-
tor cleaner, octane booster, intake valve deposit
removers, etc.) which are sold commercially.
Many of these additives intended for gum, varnish
or deposit removal may contain active solvents or
similar ingredients that can be harmful to the fuel
system and engine.

Octane rating tips

Using unleaded gasoline with an octane
rating lower than recommended can cause
persistent, heavy “spark knock.” (“Spark
knock” is a metallic rapping noise.) If se-
vere, this can lead to engine damage. If you
detect a persistent heavy spark knock even
when using gasoline of the stated octane
rating, or if you hear steady spark knock
while holding a steady speed on level
roads, it is recommended that you have a
NISSAN dealer correct the condition. Fail-
ure to correct the condition is misuse of the
vehicle, for which NISSAN is not respon-
sible.

Technical and consumer information

9-5

Incorrect ignition timing may result in spark
knock, after-run and/or overheating, which may
cause excessive fuel consumption or engine
damage. If any of the above symptoms are en-
countered, have your vehicle checked. It is rec-
ommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
servicing.

However, now and then you may notice
light spark knock for a short time while
accelerating or driving up hills. This is not a
cause for concern, because you get the
greatest fuel benefit when there is light
spark knock for a short time under heavy
engine load.

ENGINE OIL AND OIL FILTER
RECOMMENDATIONS

Selecting the correct oil

It is essential to choose the correct grade, quality
and viscosity engine oil to ensure satisfactory
engine life and performance. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Recommended fluids/lubricants
and capacities” in this section. NISSAN recom-
mends the use of an energy conserving oil in
order to improve fuel economy.

Select only engine oils that meet the American
Petroleum Institute (API) certification or Interna-
tional Lubricant Standardization and Approval

Committee (ILSAC) certification and SAE vis-
cosity standard. These oils have the API certifica-
tion mark on the front of the container. Oils which
do not have the specified quality label should not
be used as they could cause engine damage.

Oil additives

NISSAN does not recommend the use of oil
additives. The use of an oil additive is not neces-
sary when the proper oil type is used and main-
tenance intervals are followed.

Oil which may contain foreign matter or has been
previously used should not be used.

LTI2051

9-6

Technical and consumer information

Oil viscosity

The engine oil viscosity or thickness changes
with temperature. Because of this, it is important
to select the engine oil viscosity based on the
temperatures at which the vehicle will be oper-
ated before the next oil change. Choosing an oil
viscosity other than that recommended could
cause serious engine damage.

Selecting the correct oil filter

Your new NISSAN vehicle is equipped with a
high-quality Genuine NISSAN oil filter. When
replacing, use a Genuine NISSAN oil filter or its
equivalent for the reason described in “Change
intervals.”

Change intervals

The oil and oil filter change intervals for your
engine are based on the use of the specified
quality oils and filters. Using engine oil and filters
that are not of the specified quality, or exceeding
recommended oil and filter change intervals
could reduce engine life. Damage to the engine
caused by improper maintenance or use of incor-
rect oil and filter quality and/or viscosity is not
covered by the NISSAN New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.

Your engine was filled with a high-quality engine
oil when it was built. You do not have to change

the oil before the first recommended change
interval. Oil and filter change intervals depend
upon how you use your vehicle.

Operation under the following conditions may
require more frequent oil and filter changes:

● repeated short distance driving at cold out-

side temperatures

● driving in dusty conditions
● extensive idling
● towing a trailer
● stop and go commuting

For additional information, refer to “NISSAN Ser-
vice and Maintenance Guide” for the mainte-
nance schedule.

AIR CONDITIONER SYSTEM
REFRIGERANT AND OIL
RECOMMENDATIONS

The air conditioner system in your NISSAN
vehicle must be charged with the refriger-
ant

HFC-134a

(R-134a)

and

Genuine

NISSAN A/C System Oil Type ND-OIL8 or
the exact equivalents.

CAUTION

The use of any other refrigerant or oil will
cause severe damage to the air condition-
ing system and will require the replace-
ment

all

air

conditioner

system

components.

The refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) in your
NISSAN vehicle does not harm the earth’s ozone
layer. Although this refrigerant does not affect the
earth’s atmosphere, certain government regula-
tions require the recovery and recycling of any
refrigerant during automotive air conditioner sys-
tem service. A NISSAN dealer has the trained
technicians and equipment needed to recover
and recycle your air conditioner system refriger-
ant.

It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer
when servicing your air conditioner system.
