2015 NISSAN MURANO stop start

ICC OPERATION
Always pay attention to the operation of the ve-
hicle and be ready to manually control the proper
following distance. The ICC system may not be
able to maintain the selected distance between
vehicles (following distance) or selected vehicle
speed under some circumstances.
The Intelligent Cruise Control uses a sensor
A
located on the front of the vehicle to detect
vehicles traveling ahead. The sensor generally
detects the signals returned from the vehicle
ahead. Therefore, if the sensor cannot detect the
reflection from the vehicle ahead, the ICC system
may not maintain the selected distance.The following are some conditions in which the
sensor cannot detect the signals:
● When snow or road spray from traveling
vehicles reduces the sensor’s detection.
● When excessively heavy baggage is loaded
in the rear seat or the trunk of your vehicle.
The ICC system is designed to automatically
check the sensor’s operation within the limitation
of the system. When the sensor area is covered
with dirt or is obstructed, the system will auto-
matically be canceled. If the sensor area is cov-
ered with ice, a transparent or translucent vinyl
bag, etc., the ICC system may not detect them. In
these instances, the ICC system may not cancel
and may not be able to maintain the selected
following distance from the vehicle ahead. Be
sure to check and clean the sensor area around
the distance sensor regularly.
The ICC system is designed to maintain a se-
lected distance and reduce the speed to match
the slower vehicle ahead. The system will decel-
erate the vehicle as necessary and if the vehicle
ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle decelerates to
a standstill. However, the ICC system can only
apply up to 40% of the vehicle’s total braking
power. This system should only be used when traffic
conditions allow vehicle speeds to remain fairly
constant or when vehicle speeds change gradu-
ally. If a vehicle moves into the traveling lane
ahead or if a vehicle traveling ahead rapidly de-
celerates, the distance between vehicles may
become closer because the ICC system cannot
decelerate the vehicle quickly enough. If this oc-
curs, the ICC system will sound a warning chime
and blink the system display to notify the driver to
take necessary action.
The system will cancel and a warning chime will
sound if the speed is below approximately
15 MPH (24 km/h) and a vehicle is not detected
ahead. The system will also disengage when the
vehicle goes above the maximum set speed.
For additional information, refer to “Approach
warning” in this section.
The following items are controlled in the ICC
system:
● When there are no vehicles traveling ahead,
the ICC system maintains the speed set by
the driver. The set speed range is between
approximately 20 and 90 MPH (32 and
144 km/h).
LSD2249
Starting and driving5-37

●When there is a vehicle traveling ahead, the
ICC system adjusts the speed to maintain
the distance, selected by driver, from the
vehicle ahead. The adjusting speed range is
up to the set speed. If the vehicle ahead
comes to a stop, the vehicle decelerates to a
standstill within the limitations of the system.
The system will cancel once it judges a
standstill with a warning chime.
● When the vehicle traveling ahead has moved
out from its lane of travel, the ICC system
accelerates and maintains vehicle speed up
to the set speed.
The ICC system does not control vehicle speed
or warn you when you approach stationary and
slow moving vehicles. You must pay attention to
vehicle operation to maintain proper distance
from vehicles ahead when approaching toll gates
or traffic congestion. The detection zone of the ICC sensor is limited. A
vehicle ahead must be in the detection zone for
the vehicle-to-vehicle distance detection mode
to maintain the selected distance from the vehicle
ahead.
A vehicle ahead may move outside of the detec-
tion zone due to its position within the same lane
of travel. Motorcycles may not be detected in the
same lane ahead if they are traveling offset from
the centerline of the lane. A vehicle that is enter-
ing the lane ahead may not be detected until the
vehicle has completely moved into the lane.
If
this occurs, the ICC system may warn you
by blinking the system indicator and
sounding the chime. The driver may have to manually control the proper distance away
from vehicle traveling ahead.

5-38Starting and driving

The stoplights of the vehicle come on when
braking is performed by the ICC system.
When the brake operates, a noise may be
heard. This is not a malfunction.
When a vehicle ahead is detected, the vehicle
ahead detection indicator comes on. The ICC
system will also display the set speed and se-
lected distance.
Vehicle ahead not detected:
When a vehicle is no longer detected ahead, the
ICC system gradually accelerates your vehicle to
resume the previously set vehicle speed. The ICC
system then maintains the set speed.
When a vehicle is no longer detected the vehicle
ahead detection indicator turns off.
If a vehicle ahead appears during acceleration to
the set vehicle speed or any time the ICC system
is in operation, the system controls the distance
to that vehicle.
When a vehicle is no longer detected under
approximately 15 MPH (24 km/h), the system will
be canceled.When passing another vehicle,
the set speed
indicator
Bwill flash when the vehicle speed
exceeds the set speed. The vehicle detect indi-
cator will turn off when the area ahead of the
vehicle is open. When the pedal is released, the
vehicle will return to the previously set speed.
Even though your vehicle speed is set in the ICC
system, you can depress the accelerator pedal
when it is necessary to accelerate your vehicle
rapidly.
How to change the set vehicle speed
To cancel the preset speed, use any of these
methods:
● Push the CANCEL switch. The set vehicle
speed indicator will go out.
● Tap the brake pedal. The set vehicle speed
indicator will go out.
● Turn the CRUISE ON/OFF switch off. The
ICC indicators will go out.
To reset at a faster cruising speed, use one of
the following methods:
● Depress the accelerator pedal. When the
vehicle attains the desired speed, push and
release the SET/COAST (–) switch.
● Push and hold the RES/ACCELERATE (+)
switch. The set vehicle speed will increase
by approximately 5 MPH (5 km/h for
Canada) .
● Push, then quickly release the
RES/ACCELERATE (+) switch. Each time
you do this, the set speed will increase by
approximately 1 MPH (1 km/h for Canada) .
LSD2289
Starting and driving5-43

To reset at a slower cruising speed,use one
of the following methods:
● Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the ve-
hicle attains the desired speed, push the
SET/COAST (–) switch and release it.
● Push and hold the SET/COAST (–) switch.
The set vehicle speed will decrease by ap-
proximately 5 MPH (5 km/h for Canada) .
● Push, then quickly release the SET/COAST
(–) switch. Each time you do this, the set
speed will decrease by approximately
1 MPH (1 km/h for Canada) .
To resume the preset speed, push and re-
lease the RES/ACCELERATE (+) switch. The
vehicle will resume the last set cruising speed
when the vehicle speed is over 20 MPH
(32 km/h).
How to change the set distance to the
vehicle ahead
The distance to the vehicle ahead can be se-
lected at any time depending on the traffic con-
ditions.
Each time the distance switch
Ais pushed, the
set distance will change to long, average, short
and back to long again, in that sequence.
Distance Approximate distance at
60 MPH (100 km/h) [ft (m)]
1. Long 200 (60)
2. Average 150 (45)
3. Short 90 (30)
● The distance to the vehicle ahead will
change according to the vehicle speed. The
higher the vehicle speed, the longer the dis-
tance.
● If the engine is stopped, the set distance
becomes “long”. (Each time the engine is
started, the initial setting becomes “long”.)

5-54Starting 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.

BREAK-IN SCHEDULE
5-62Starting and driving

Follow these easy-to-use Fuel Efficient Driving
Tips to help you achieve the most fuel economy
from your vehicle.1. 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 commut-
ing and coast whenever possible.
2. Maintain Constant Speed
● Look ahead to try and anticipate and mini-
mize stops.
● Synchronizing your speed with traffic
lights allows you to reduce your number
of stops.
● Maintaining a steady speed can minimize
red light stops and improve fuel effi-
ciency.
3. 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.
4. Drive at Economical Speeds and Dis-
tances
● Observing the speed limit and not ex-
ceeding 60 MPH (97 km/h) (where le-
gally allowed) can improve fuel efficiency
due to reduced aerodynamic drag.
● Maintaining a safe following distance be-
hind other vehicles reduces unnecessary
braking.
● Safely monitoring traffic to anticipate
changes in speed permits reduced brak-
ing and smooth acceleration changes.
● Select a gear range suitable to road con-
ditions.
5. Use Cruise Control
● Using cruise control during highway driv-
ing helps maintain a steady speed.
● Cruise control is particularly effective in
providing fuel savings when driving on flat
terrains. 6.
Plan for the Shortest Route
● Utilize a map or navigation system to de-
termine the best route to save time.
7. Avoid Idling
● Shutting off your engine when safe for
stops exceeding 30–60 seconds saves
fuel and reduces emissions.
8. Buy an Automated Pass for Toll Roads
● Automated passes permit drivers to use
special lanes to maintain cruising speed
through the toll and avoid stopping and
starting.
9. 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 effec-
tively circulate the engine oil before driv-
ing.
● Your vehicle will reach its ideal operating
temperature more quickly while driving
versus idling.
