Nissan Murano (2024 year). Manual in english

NISSAN INTELLIGENT KEY®

Your vehicle can only be driven with the
Intelligent Keys which are registered to
your vehicle’s Intelligent Key System com-
ponents and NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer
System components.

Never leave these keys in the vehicle.

As many as four Intelligent Keys can be
registered and used with one vehicle. The
new keys must be registered prior to use
with the Intelligent Key System and NISSAN
Vehicle Immobilizer System of your vehicle.
It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service. Since the registra-
tion process requires erasing all memory in
the Intelligent Key components when reg-
istering new keys, be sure to take all Intelli-
gent Keys that you have to the NISSAN
dealer.

A key number plate is supplied with your
keys. Record the key number and keep it in
a safe place (such as your wallet), not in the
vehicle. If you lose your keys, it is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
duplicates by using the key number.
NISSAN does not record key numbers so it
is very important to keep track of your key
number plate.

A key number is only necessary when you
have lost all keys and do not have one to
duplicate from. If you still have a key, it can
be duplicated without knowing the key
number.

CAUTION

Listed below are conditions or occur-
rences which will damage the Intelli-
gent Key:

•

Do not allow the Intelligent Key,
which contains electrical compo-
nents, to come into contact with wa-
ter or salt water. This could affect the
system function.

•

Do not drop the Intelligent Key.

•

Do not strike the Intelligent Key
sharply against another object.

•

Do not change or modify the Intelli-
gent Key.

Pre-driving checks and adjustments

•

Wetting may damage the Intelligent
Key. If the Intelligent Key gets wet,
immediately wipe until it is com-
pletely dry.

•

Do not place the Intelligent Key for an
extended period in an area where
temperatures exceed 140°F (60°C).

•

Do not attach the Intelligent Key with
a key holder that contains a magnet.

•

Do not place the Intelligent Key near
equipment that produces a magnetic
field, such as a TV, audio equipment
and personal computers.

If an Intelligent Key is lost or stolen,
NISSAN recommends erasing the ID
code of that Intelligent Key from the
vehicle. This may prevent the unau-
thorized use of the Intelligent Key to
operate the vehicle. For information re-
garding the erasing procedure, it is rec-
ommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer.

Mechanical key

The Intelligent Key contains the mechani-
cal key.

To remove the mechanical key, release the
lock knob on the back of the Intelligent Key.

To install the mechanical key, firmly insert it
into the Intelligent Key until the lock knob
returns to the lock position.

Use the mechanical key to lock or unlock
the driver's door and glove box.

CAUTION

Always carry the mechanical key in-
stalled in the Intelligent Key slot.

For additional information, see “Doors”
(P. 3-4) and “Glove box” (P. 2-61).

Valet hand-off

When you have to leave a key with a valet,
give them the Intelligent Key itself and keep
the mechanical key with you to protect
your belongings.

To prevent the glove box from being
opened during valet hand-off, follow the
procedure below.

1. Remove the mechanical key from the

Intelligent Key.

2. Lock the glove box with the mechanical

key.

3. Hand the Intelligent Key to the valet and

keep the mechanical key with you.

For additional information, see “Glove box”
(P. 2-61).

NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM KEYS

You can only drive your vehicle using the
Intelligent Keys which are registered to the
NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System com-
ponents in your vehicle.

The mechanical key can be used for all the
locks.

Never leave the keys in the vehicle.

Additional or replacement keys:

If you still have a key, the key number is not
necessary when you need extra NISSAN
Vehicle Immobilizer System keys. Your ex-
isting key can be duplicated without know-
ing the key number. As many as four
NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System keys
can be used with one vehicle. You should
bring all NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer Sys-
tem keys that you have to the NISSAN
dealer for registration. This is because the
registration process will erase the memory
of all key codes previously registered into
the NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System. Af-
ter the registration process, these compo-
nents will only recognize keys coded into
the NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System
during registration. Any virtual key acces-
sories (if so equipped) will also have to be

reregistered. Any key that is not given to the
dealer at the time of registration will no
longer be able to start your vehicle.

CAUTION

Do not allow the immobilizer system
key, which contains an electrical tran-
sponder, to come into contact with wa-
ter or salt water. This could affect sys-
tem function.

When the doors are locked using one of the
following methods, the doors cannot be
opened using the inside or outside door
handles. The doors must be unlocked to
open the doors.

WARNING

•

Always have the doors locked while
driving. Along with the use of seat
belts, this provides greater safety in
the event of an accident by helping to
prevent persons from being thrown
from the vehicle. This also helps keep
children and others from uninten-
tionally opening the doors, and will
help keep out intruders.

•

Before opening any door, always look
for and avoid oncoming traffic.

•

To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of the
vehicle and/or its systems, including
entrapment in windows or inadver-
tent door lock activation, do not leave
children, people who require the assis-
tance of others or pets unattended in
your vehicle. Additionally, the tem-
perature inside a closed vehicle on a
warm day can quickly become high
enough to cause a significant risk of
injury or death to people and pets.

WARNING

•

Radio waves could adversely affect
electric medical equipment. Those
who use a pacemaker should contact
the

electric

medical

equipment

manufacturer for the possible influ-
ences before use.

•

The Intelligent Key transmits radio
waves when the buttons are pressed.
The FAA advises the radio waves may
affect aircraft navigation and com-
munication systems. Do not operate
the Intelligent Key while on an air-
plane. Make sure the buttons are not
operated unintentionally when the
unit is stored for a flight.

•

Never leave the Intelligent Key in the
vehicle when you leave the vehicle.

•

Make sure to engage the P (Park) po-
sition and apply the parking brake
when parking your vehicle, entering
or exiting the vehicle or loading lug-
gage. Failure to do so could cause the
vehicle to move or roll away unex-
pectedly and result in serious per-
sonal injury or property damage.

NISSAN INTELLIGENT KEY® SYSTEM

3-6

Pre-driving checks and adjustments

The Intelligent Key system can operate all
the door locks using the remote control
function or pushing the request switch on
the vehicle without taking the key out from
a pocket or purse. The operating environ-
ment and/or conditions may affect the In-
telligent Key system operation.

Be sure to read the following before using
the Intelligent Key system.

CAUTION

Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key with
you when operating the vehicle.

The Intelligent Key is capable of receiving
and transmitting radio waves. The Intelli-
gent Key system transmits weak radio
waves from various distances. Environ-
mental conditions may interfere with the
operation of the Intelligent Key system un-
der the following operating conditions:
• When operating near a location where

strong radio waves are transmitted, such
as a TV tower, power station and broad-
casting station.

• When in possession of wireless equip-

ment, such as a cellular telephone, trans-
ceiver or a CB radio.

• When the Intelligent Key is in contact with

or covered by metallic materials.

• When any type of radio wave remote con-

trol is used nearby.

• When the Intelligent Key is placed near an

electric appliance such as a personal
computer.

• When the vehicle is parked near a parking

meter.

In such cases, correct the operating condi-
tions before using the Intelligent Key func-
tion or use the mechanical key.

Although the life of the battery varies de-
pending on the operating conditions, the
battery’s life is approximately two years. If
the battery is discharged, replace it with a
new one.

When the Intelligent Key battery is low, the
“Key Battery Low” indicator illuminates in
the vehicle information display. For addi-
tional information, see “Vehicle information
display” (P. 2-18).

Since the Intelligent Key is capable of re-
ceiving radio waves, if the key is left near
equipment which transmits strong radio
waves, such as signals from a TV and per-
sonal computer, the battery life may be-
come shorter.

For additional information, see “Battery re-
placement” (P. 8-23).

As many as four Intelligent Keys can be
registered and used with one vehicle. For
information about the purchase and use of
additional Intelligent Keys, it is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer.

OPERATING RANGE

WARNING

•

To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of the
vehicle and/or its systems, including
entrapment in windows or inadver-
tent door lock activation, do not
leave children, people who require
the assistance of others or pets unat-
tended in your vehicle. Additionally,

come high enough to cause a signifi-
cant risk of injury or death to people
and pets.

•

Do not use Remote Engine Start in
closed spaces such as a garage. Do
not breathe exhaust gases; they con-
tain colorless and odorless carbon
monoxide. Carbon monoxide is dan-
gerous. It can cause unconscious-
ness or death.

CAUTION

When the Intelligent Key battery is dis-
charged or other strong radio wave
sources are present near the operating
location, the Intelligent Key operating
range becomes narrower, and the Intel-
ligent Key may not function properly.

The Remote Engine Start function can only

tank after the fuel pump nozzle
shuts off automatically. Continued
refueling may cause fuel overflow,
resulting in fuel spray and possibly a
fire.

•

Use only an original equipment type
fuel-filler cap as a replacement. It has
a built-in safety valve needed for
proper operation of the fuel system
and emission control system. An in-
correct cap can result in a serious
malfunction and possible injury. It
could also cause the

Malfunc-

tion Indicator Light (MIL) to come on.

•

Never pour fuel into the throttle body
to attempt to start your vehicle.

•

Do not fill a portable fuel container in
the vehicle or trailer. Static electricity
can cause an explosion of flammable
liquid, vapor or gas in any vehicle or
trailer. To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death when filling portable
fuel containers:

–

Always place the container on the

ground when filling.

–

Do not use electronic devices

when filling.

–

dent.

•

Do not adjust the steering wheel any
closer to you than is necessary for
proper steering operation and com-
fort. The driver's air bag inflates with
great force. If you are unrestrained,
leaning forward, sitting sideways or
out of position in any way, you are at
greater risk of injury or death in a
crash. You may also receive serious
or fatal injuries from the air bag if you
are up against it when it inflates. Al-
ways sit back against the seatback
and as far away as practical from the
steering wheel. Always use the seat
belts.

tion from being adjusted.

For vehicles with memory seat: Both the tilt
and telescopic steering operation must be
reset after the vehicle’s battery has been
discharged in order to prevent the tilt and
telescopic operation from locking in one
position. When the battery has been re-
charged or replaced, perform the following:
• For tilt operation: Adjust the switch

the steering wheel moves to the highest
position

that can be reached.

• For

telescopic

operation: Adjust

the

switch

so the steering wheel moves to

the most forward and backward position

that can be reached.

Performing these operations resets the
range of the steering wheel’s tilt and tele-
scopic function.

Entry/Exit function (if so
equipped)

The memory seat will make the steering
wheel move up automatically when the
driver's door is opened and the ignition
switch is in the LOCK position. This lets the
