Nissan Murano (2024 year). Manual in english

The AEB system operates at speeds above
approximately 3 mph (5 km/h). For the pe-
destrian detection function, the system
operates at speeds between 6 – 37 mph
(10 – 60 km/h).

If a risk of a forward collision is detected,
the AEB with Pedestrian Detection system
will firstly provide the warning to the driver
by flashing the vehicle ahead detection in-
dicator (yellow) in the vehicle information
display and providing an audible alert. If the
driver applies the brakes quickly and force-
fully after the warning, and the AEB with
Pedestrian Detection system detects that
there is still the possibility of a forward col-
lision, the system will automatically in-
crease the braking force.

If the driver does not take action, the AEB
with Pedestrian Detection system issues
the second visual (flashing) (red and white)
and audible warning. If the driver releases
the accelerator pedal, then the system ap-
plies partial braking. If the risk of a collision
becomes imminent, the AEB with Pedes-
trian Detection system applies harder
braking automatically.

While the AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system is operating, you may hear the
sound of brake operation. This is normal
and indicates that the AEB with Pedestrian
Detection system is operating properly.

NOTE:

The vehicle’s brake lights come on when
any braking is performed by the AEB
with Pedestrian Detection system.

Depending on vehicle speed and distance
to the vehicle or pedestrian ahead, as well
as driving and roadway conditions, the sys-
tem may help the driver avoid a forward
collision or may help mitigate the conse-
quences if a collision should be unavoid-
able. If the driver is handling the steering
wheel, accelerating or braking, the AEB with
Pedestrian Detection system will function
later or will not function.

The automatic braking will cease under the
following conditions:
• When the steering wheel is turned to

avoid a collision.

• When the accelerator pedal is depressed.
• When there is no longer a vehicle or a

pedestrian detected ahead.

If the AEB with Pedestrian Detection sys-
tem has stopped the vehicle, the vehicle
will remain at a standstill for approximately
2 seconds before the brakes are released.

as rain, snow, fog, dust storms,
sand storms, smoke, and road
spray from other vehicles).

–

If dirt, ice, snow, fog or other mate-
rial is covering the radar sensor
area or camera area of windshield.

–

If strong light (for example, sun-
light or high beams) enters the
front camera or a sudden change
in brightness occurs (for example,
entering a tunnel or driving in
lightning).

–

In dark or dimly lit conditions,
such as at night or in tunnels, in-
cluding cases where your vehi-
cle’s headlights are off or dim, or
the tail lights of the vehicle ahead
are off.

–

5-90

Starting and driving

–

When your vehicle or the vehicle
or

pedestrian

ahead

moves

quickly or significantly such that
the system cannot detect and re-
act in time (for example, pedes-
trian moving quickly toward the
vehicle at close range, vehicle cut-
ting in, changing lanes, making a
turn, steering abruptly, sudden
acceleration or deceleration).

–

When the vehicle or pedestrian is
offset from the vehicle’s forward
path.

–

If the speed difference between
the two vehicles is small.

–

The pedestrian’s profile is par-
tially obscured or unidentifiable;
for example, due to transporting
luggage, pushing a stroller, wear-
ing bulky or very loose-fitting
clothing or accessories, or being
in a unique posture (such as rais-
ing hands).

–

There is poor contrast of a person
to the background, such as having
clothing color or pattern which is
similar to the background.

–

CAUTION

During the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km),
follow these recommendations to ob-
tain maximum engine performance
and ensure the future reliability and
economy of your new vehicle. Failure to
follow these recommendations may
result in shortened engine life and re-
duced engine performance.

• Avoid driving for long periods at constant

speed, either fast or slow, and do not run
the engine over 4,000 rpm.

• Do not accelerate at full throttle in any

gear.

• Avoid quick starts.
• Avoid hard braking as much as possible.
• Do not tow a trailer for the first 500 miles

(805 kilometers). Your engine, axle or
other parts could be damaged.

Follow these easy-to-use Fuel Efficient
Driving Tips to help you achieve the most
fuel economy from your vehicle.

Use Smooth Accelerator and Brake
Pedal Application

• Avoid rapid starts and stops.
• Use smooth, gentle accelerator and

brake application whenever possible.

• Maintain constant speed while com-

muting and coast whenever possible.

Maintain Constant Speed

• Look ahead to try and anticipate and

minimize stops.

• Synchronizing your speed with traffic

lights allows you to reduce your num-
ber of stops.

• Maintaining a steady speed can mini-

mize red light stops and improve fuel
efficiency.

Use Air Conditioning (A/C) at Higher
Vehicle Speeds

• Below 40 mph (64 km/h), it is more

efficient to open windows to cool the
vehicle due to reduced engine load.

• Above 40 mph (64 km/h), it is more

efficient to use A/C to cool the vehicle
due to increased aerodynamic drag.

• Recirculating the cool air in the cabin

when the A/C is on reduces cooling
load.

Economical

Speeds

and

Distances

• Observing the speed limit and not ex-

ceeding 60 mph (97 km/h) (where le-
gally allowed) can improve fuel effi-
ciency due to reduced aerodynamic
drag.

• Maintaining a safe following distance

behind other vehicles reduces unnec-
essary braking.

• Safely monitoring traffic to anticipate

changes in speed permits reduced
braking

and

smooth

acceleration

changes.

• Select a gear range suitable to road

conditions.

Use Cruise Control

• Using cruise control during highway

driving helps maintain a steady speed.

• Cruise control is particularly effective

in providing fuel savings when driving
on flat terrains.

Plan for the Shortest Route

• Utilize a map or navigation system to

determine the best route to save time.

FUEL EFFICIENT DRIVING TIPS

5-114

Starting and driving

Avoid Idling

• Shutting off your engine when safe for

stops exceeding 30–60 seconds saves
fuel and reduces emissions.

Buy an Automated Pass for Toll Roads

• Automated passes permit drivers to

use special lanes to maintain cruising
speed through the toll and avoid stop-
ping and starting.

Winter Warm Up

• Limit idling time to minimize impact to

fuel economy.

• Vehicles typically need no more than

30 seconds of idling at start-up to ef-
fectively circulate the engine oil before
driving.

• Your vehicle will reach its ideal operat-

ing temperature more quickly while
driving versus idling.

10.

Keeping your Vehicle Cool

• Park your vehicle in a covered parking

area or in the shade whenever possible.

• When entering a hot vehicle, opening

the windows will help to reduce the
inside temperature faster, resulting in
reduced demand on your A/C system.

• Keep your engine tuned up.
• Follow the recommended scheduled

maintenance.

• Keep the tires inflated to the correct pres-

sure. Low tire pressure increases tire
wear and lowers fuel economy.

• Keep all the wheels in correct alignment.

Improper alignment increases tire wear
and lowers fuel economy.

• Use the recommended viscosity engine oil.

For additional information, see “Engine oil
and oil filter recommendations” (P. 10-7).

If any malfunction occurs in the AWD sys-
tem while the engine is running, messages
are displayed in the meter.

INCREASING FUEL ECONOMY

ALL-WHEEL DRIVE (AWD) (if so
equipped)

Starting and driving

5-115

If the AWD error warning message is dis-
played, there may be a malfunction in the
AWD system. Reduce vehicle speed and
have your vehicle checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer as
soon as possible.

The AWD high temperature message may
be displayed while trying to free a stuck
vehicle due to increased oil temperature.
The driving mode may change to 2-Wheel
Drive (2WD). If this message is displayed,
stop the vehicle with the engine idling, as
soon as it is safe to do so. Then if the mes-
sage turns off, you can continue driving.

The tire size message may be displayed if
there is a large difference between the di-
ameters of front and rear wheels. Pull off
the road in a safe area, with the engine
idling. Check that all tire sizes are the same,
that the tire pressure is correct and that
the tires are not excessively worn.

If any warning messages continue to be
displayed, have your vehicle checked. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer as soon as possible.

WARNING

•

Do not drive beyond the performance
capability of the tires. Accelerating
quickly, sharp steering maneuvers or
sudden braking may cause loss of
control, even with AWD engaged.

•

For AWD equipped vehicles, do not
attempt to raise two wheels off the
ground and shift the transmission to
any drive or reverse position with the
engine running. Doing so may result
in drivetrain damage or unexpected
vehicle movement which could result
in serious personal injury or vehicle
damage.

•

Do not attempt to test an AWD
equipped vehicle on a 2-wheel dyna-
mometer (such as the dynamometers
used by some states for emissions
testing) or similar equipment even if
the other two wheels are raised off the
ground. Make sure that you inform the
test facility personnel that your ve-
hicle is equipped with AWD before it is
placed on a dynamometer. Using the
wrong test equipment may result in
drivetrain damage or unexpected ve-
hicle movement which could result
in serious personal injury or vehicle
damage.

CAUTION

•

Do not operate the engine on a free
roller when any of the wheels are
raised.

•

If you use the free roller, rotate four
wheels with the same speed without
raising any wheels.

•

If an AWD warning message is dis-
played while driving there may be a
malfunction in the AWD system. Re-
duce the vehicle speed immediately
and have your vehicle checked. It is
recommended

that

you

visit

NISSAN dealer as soon as possible.

•

The powertrain may be damaged if
you continue driving when the AWD
temperature or tire size incorrect
messages are displayed

•

If the AWD high temperature mes-
sage is displayed while you are driv-
ing, pull off the road in a safe area,
and idle the engine. The driving
mode will change to 2WD to prevent
the AWD system from malfunction-
ing. If the warning message turns off,
you can drive again.

•

If the tire size incorrect message is
displayed while you are driving, pull
off the road in a safe area with the
engine idling. Check that all tire sizes
are the same, that the tire pressure is
correct and that the tires are not ex-
cessively worn.

•

If a warning message continues to be
displayed after the above opera-
tions, have your vehicle checked as
soon as possible. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.

WARNING

•

Do not stop or park the vehicle over
flammable materials such as dry
grass, waste paper or rags. They may
ignite and cause a fire.

•

Safe parking procedures require that
both the parking brake be set and the
transmission placed into P (Park).
Failure to do so could cause the ve-
hicle to move unexpectedly or roll
away and result in an accident. Make
sure the shift lever has been pushed
as far forward as it can go and cannot
be moved without depressing the
foot brake pedal.

•

Never leave the engine running while
the vehicle is unattended.

•

Do not leave children unattended in-
side the vehicle. They could unknow-
ingly activate switches or controls or
make the vehicle move. Unattended
children could become involved in
serious accidents.

•

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

the temperature inside a closed ve-
hicle on a warm day can quickly be-
come high enough to cause a signifi-
cant risk of injury or death to people
and pets.

1. Firmly apply the parking brake.

2. Move the shift lever to the P (Park)

position.

3. To help prevent the vehicle from rolling

into traffic when parked on an incline, it
is a good practice to turn the wheels as
illustrated.

•

HEADED DOWNHILL WITH CURB

Turn the wheels into the curb and move
the vehicle forward until the curb side
wheel gently touches the curb.

•

HEADED UPHILL WITH CURB

Turn the wheels away from the curb and
move the vehicle back until the curb side
wheel gently touches the curb.

•

HEADED UPHILL OR DOWNHILL, NO
CURB

Turn the wheels toward the side of the
road so the vehicle will move away
from the center of the road if it moves.

4. Place the ignition switch in the LOCK

position.

WARNING

•

If the engine is not running or is
turned off while driving, the power
assist for the steering will not work.
Steering will be harder to operate.

•

When the power steering warning
light illuminates with the engine run-
ning, there will be no power assist for
the steering. You will still have control
of the vehicle, but the steering will be
harder to operate. Have the power
steering system checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.

The power steering system is designed to
provide power assist while driving to oper-
ate the steering wheel with light force.

When the steering wheel is operated re-
peatedly or continuously while parking or
driving at a very low speed, the power as-
sist for the steering wheel will be reduced.
This is to prevent overheating of the power
steering system and protect it from getting
damaged. While the power assist is re-
duced, steering wheel operation will be-
come heavy. When the temperature of the
power steering system goes down, the
power assist level will return to normal.

Avoid repeating such steering wheel op-
erations that could cause the power steer-
ing system to overheat.

You may hear a sound when the steering
wheel is operated quickly. However, this is
not a malfunction.

If the power steering warning light illumi-
nates while the engine is running, it may
indicate the power steering system is not
functioning properly and may need servic-
ing. Have the power steering system
checked. It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.

When the power steering warning light illu-
minates with the engine running, there will
be no power assist for the steering, but you
will still have control of the vehicle. At this
time, greater steering effort is required to
operate the steering wheel, especially in
sharp turns and at low speeds.

For additional information, see “Power
steering warning light” (P. 2-15).

The brake system has two separate hy-
draulic circuits. If one circuit malfunctions,
you will still have braking at two wheels.

BRAKE PRECAUTIONS

Vacuum assisted brakes

The brake booster aids braking by using
engine vacuum. If the engine stops, you
can stop the vehicle by depressing the
brake pedal. However, greater foot pres-
sure on the brake pedal will be required to
stop the vehicle and stopping distance will
be longer.

Using the brakes

Avoid resting your foot on the brake pedal
while driving. This will overheat the brakes,
wear out the brake pads faster, and reduce
gas mileage.

To help reduce brake wear and to prevent
the brakes from overheating, reduce speed
and downshift to a lower gear before going
down a slope or long grade. Overheated
brakes may reduce braking performance
and could result in loss of vehicle control.
