2015 NISSAN MURANO warning

The Predictive Forward Collision Warning sys-
tem can help alert the driver when there is a
sudden braking of a second vehicle traveling in
front of the vehicle ahead in the traveling same
lane.SYSTEM OPERATION
The Predictive Forward Collision Warning sys-
tem uses a radar sensor
Alocated on the front
of the vehicle to measure the distance to a sec-
ond vehicle ahead in the traveling lane.
The Predictive Forward Collision Warning sys-
tem operates at speeds above approximately
3 MPH (5 km/h).
If there is a potential risk of a forward collision, the
Predictive Forward Collision Warning system will
warn the driver by blinking the vehicle ahead
detection indicator, and sounding a warning
tone.

WARNING
●The radar sensor may not detect a sec-
ond vehicle when the vehicle ahead is
being towed.
● When the distance to the vehicle ahead
is too close, the beam of the radar sen-
sor is obstructed.
● The radar sensor may not detect a sec-
ond vehicle when driving on a steep
downhill slope or on roads with sharp
curves. ●
Excessive noise will interfere with the
warning tone sound, and it may not be
heard.System temporarily unavailable
Condition A:
When the radar sensor picks up interference
from another radar source, making it impossible
to detect a vehicle ahead, the Predictive Forward
Collision Warning system is automatically turned
off.
The Forward Emergency Braking system warning
light (orange) and the driver assist system for-
ward indicator (orange) will illuminate.

WARNING
●The Forward Emergency Braking sys-
tem is a supplemental aid to the driver.
It is not a replacement for the driver’s
attention to traffic conditions or re-
sponsibility to drive safely. It cannot
prevent accidents due to carelessness
or dangerous driving techniques.
● The Forward Emergency Braking sys-
tem does not function in all driving,
traffic, weather and road conditions.
SYSTEM OPERATION
The Forward Emergency Braking system will
function when your vehicle is driven at speeds
above approximately 3 MPH (5 km/h).
If a risk of a forward collision is detected, the
Forward Emergency Braking system will provide
the first warning to the driver by an audible warn-
ing.
If the driver applies the brakes quickly and force-
fully after the warning, and the Forward Emer-
gency Braking system detects that there is still
the possibility of a forward collision, the system
will automatically increase the braking force. If the
driver does not take action, the Forward Emer- gency Braking system issues the second visual
warning (red) and audible warning and also ap-
plies partial braking. If the risk of a collision be-
comes imminent, the Forward Emergency Brak-
ing system applies harder braking automatically.
NOTE:
The vehicle’s brake lights come on when
braking is performed by the Forward Emer-
gency Braking system.
Depending on vehicle speed and distance to the
vehicle ahead, as well as driving and roadway
conditions, the system may help the driver avoid a
forward collision or may help mitigate the conse-
quences if a collision should one be unavoidable.
LSD2284
5-56Starting and driving

If the driver is handling the steering wheel, accel-
erating or braking, the Forward Emergency Brak-
ing system will function later or will not function.
The automatic braking will cease under the fol-
lowing conditions:● When the steering wheel is turned as far as
necessary to avoid a collision.
● When the accelerator pedal is depressed.
● When there is no longer a vehicle detected
ahead. If the Forward Emergency Braking
system has stopped the vehicle, the vehicle
will remain at a standstill for approximately
2 seconds before the brakes are released.
WARNING
● The radar sensor does not detect the
following objects:
– Pedestrians, animals or obstacles in the roadway
– Oncoming vehicles
– Crossing vehicles ●
The radar sensor has some perfor-
mance limitations. If a stationary ve-
hicle is in the vehicle’s path, the For-
ward Emergency Braking system will
not function when the vehicle is driven
at speeds over approximately 50 MPH
(80 km/h).
● The radar sensor may not detect a ve-
hicle ahead in the following conditions:
– Dirt, ice, snow or other material cov- ering the radar sensor.
– Interference by other radar sources.
– Snow or road spray from travelling vehicles.
– If the vehicle ahead is narrow (e.g. motorcycle) .
– When driving on a steep downhill slope or roads with sharp curves.
– When towing a trailer.
● In some road or traffic conditions, the
Forward Emergency Braking system
may unexpectedly apply partial braking.
When acceleration is necessary, con-
tinue to depress the accelerator pedal
to override the system. ●
Braking distances increase on slippery
surfaces.
● Excessive noise will interfere with the
warning chime sound, and the chime
may not be heard.
● The system is designed to automatically
check the sensor’s functionality, within
certain limitations. The system may not
detect some forms of obstruction of the
sensor area such as ice, snow, stickers,
for example. In these cases, the system
may not be able to warn the driver prop-
erly. Be sure that you check, clean and
clear the sensor area regularly.
