2015 NISSAN MURANO PLATINUM Owners Manual

●The radar sensors detection zone is de-
signed based on a standard lane width.
When driving in a wider lane, the radar
sensors may not detect vehicles in an
adjacent lane. When driving in a narrow
lane, the radar sensors may detect ve-
hicles driving two lanes away.
● The radar sensors are designed to ig-
nore most stationary objects, however
objects such as guardrails, walls, foli-
age and parked vehicles may occasion-
ally be detected. The system malfunc-
tion warning message with the blind
spot indicator (orange) will appear in
the vehicle information display. This is a
normal driving condition.
● Severe weather or road spray condi-
tions may reduce the ability of the radar
to detect other vehicles.
● Excessive noise (e.g. audio system vol-
ume, open vehicle window) will inter-
fere with the chime sound, and it may
not be heard.
BSW DRIVING SITUATIONS
Another vehicle approaching from
behind
Illustration 1: The Blind Spot Warning indicator
light illuminates if a vehicle enters the detection
zone from behind in an adjacent lane.
However, if the overtaking vehicle is traveling
much faster than your vehicle, the indicator light
may not illuminate before the detected vehicle is
beside your vehicle. Always use the side and rear mirrors and turn and look in the direction your
vehicle will move to ensure it is safe to change
lanes.

Entering from the side
Illustration 7:The Blind Spot Warning indicator
light illuminates if a vehicle enters the detection
zone from either side.
NOTE:
The radar sensors may not detect a vehicle
which is traveling at about the same speed
as your vehicle when it enters the detection
zone. Illustration 8:
Illustration 8: If the driver acti-
vates the turn signal while another vehicle is in the
detection zone the Blind Spot Warning indicator
light flashes and a chime will sound twice.
NOTE:
If the driver activates the turn signal before
a vehicle enters the detection zone, the
Blind Spot Warning indicator light will flash
but no chime will sound when another ve-
hicle is detected.

RCTA SYSTEM PRECAUTIONS

– Illustration d: When an approachingvehicle turns into your vehicle’s park-
ing lot aisle.
– Illustration e: When the angle formed by your vehicle and approaching ve-
hicle is small
● The following conditions may reduce
the ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles:
– Severe weather
– Road spray
– Ice build up on the vehicle
– Frost build up on the vehicle
– Dirt build up on the vehicle
● Do not attach stickers (including trans-
parent material) , install accessories or
apply additional paint near the radar
sensors. These conditions may reduce
the ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles
● Do not use the RCTA systems when
towing a trailer. ●
Excessive noise (e.g. audio system vol-
ume, open vehicle window) will inter-
fere with the chime sound, and it may
not be heard.
If the radar detects an approaching vehicle from
the side, the system chimes a sound (single
beep) and the BSW indicator light on the side the
vehicle is approaching from flashes.
NOTE:● In the case of several vehicles approaching
in a row (Illustration 1) or in the opposite
direction (Illustration 2) , a chime may not be
sounded by the RCTA system after the first
vehicle passes the sensors.
