2016 NISSAN MURANO HYBRID service

If any of the following conditions occur, the front
air bag, side air bag, curtain air bag, knee air bag
and pretensioner systems need servicing:● The supplemental air bag warning light re-
mains on after approximately 7 seconds.
● The supplemental air bag warning light
flashes intermittently.
● The supplemental air bag warning light does
not come on at all.
Under these conditions, the front air bag, side air
bag, curtain air bag, knee air bag or pretensioner
systems may not operate properly. They must be
checked and repaired. It is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
WARNING
If the supplemental air bag warning light
is on, it could mean that the front air bag,
side air bag, curtain air bag, knee air bag
and/or pretensioner systems will not op-
erate in an accident. To help avoid injury to
yourself or others, have your vehicle
checked as soon as possible. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
this service.
Repair and replacement procedure
The front air bags, side air bags, curtain air bags,
knee air bag and pretensioner(s) are designed to
inflate on a one-time-only basis. As a reminder,
unless it is damaged, the supplemental air bag
warning light remains illuminated after inflation
has occurred. These systems should be repaired
and/or replaced as soon as possible. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
When maintenance work is required on the ve-
hicle, the front air bags, side air bags, curtain air
bags, knee air bag, pretensioner(s) and related
parts should be pointed out to the person per-
forming the maintenance. The ignition switch
should always be in the LOCK position when
working under the hood or inside the vehicle.
WARNING
● Once a front air bag, side air bag, cur-
tain air bag, or knee air bag has inflated,
the air bag module will not function
again and must be replaced. Addition-
ally, the activated pretensioner(s) must
also be replaced. The air bag module
and pretensioner(s) should be replaced.
It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service. How-
ever, the air bag module and preten-
sioner(s) cannot be repaired.
● The front air bag, side air bag, curtain
air bag, knee air bag systems and the
pretensioner system should be in-
spected if there is any damage to the
front end or side portion of the vehicle.
It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.
● If you need to dispose of a supplemen-
tal air bag or pretensioner systems or
scrap the vehicle, it is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN dealer. Incorrect
disposal procedures could cause per-
sonal injury.
Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-67

●If there is an impact to your vehicle from
any direction, your Occupant Classifica-
tion Sensor (OCS) should be checked to
verify it is still functioning correctly. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service. The OCS should
be checked even if no air bags deploy as
a result of the impact. Failure to verify
proper OCS function may result in an
improper air bag deployment resulting
in injury or death.

ASSIST CHARGE GAUGE
The assist charge gauge indicates the condition
of the electric motor. When the needle is be-
tween the center and “charge” (
1range) , this
indicates that the electric motor is generating
power to recharge the Li-ion battery.
When the needle is between the center and the
PWR side, this indicates that the electric motor is
powering the drive wheels and the Li-ion battery
is discharging.
FUEL GAUGE
The gauge indicates the approximatefuel level
in the tank.
The gauge may move slightly during braking,
turning, acceleration, or going up or down hills.
The gauge needle returns to 0 (Empty) after the
ignition switch is placed in the OFF position.
The low fuel warning light comes on when the
amount of fuel in the tank is getting low.
Refill the fuel tank before the gauge regis-
ters 0 (Empty) . The

indicator light comes on, it may indicate the
charging system is not functioning properly. Have
your vehicle serviced immediately. It is recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer for this ser-
vice.
CAUTION

becomes discharged. Immediately stop
the vehicle in a safe place, and it is recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer.
Anti-lock Braking System(ABS) warning light
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the ABS warning light illuminates and
then turns off. This indicates the ABS is opera-
tional.
If the ABS warning light illuminates while the
engine is running or while driving, it may indicate
the ABS is not functioning properly, have the
system checked. It is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.
If an ABS malfunction occurs, the anti-lock func-
tion is turned off. The brake system then operates
normally but without anti-lock assistance. For
additional information, refer to “Brake system” in
the “Starting and driving” section of this manual.
Brake warning light
This light functions for both the parking brake and
the foot brake systems.
Low brake fluid warning light
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the light warns of a low brake fluid level.
If the light comes on while the engine is running
with the parking brake not applied, stop the ve-
hicle and perform the following: 1. Check the brake fluid level. Add brake fluid
as necessary. For additional information, re-
fer to “Brake fluid” in the “Maintenance and
do-it-yourself” section of this manual.
2. If the brake fluid level is correct, have the warning system checked. It is recommended

WARNING
●Your brake system may not be working
properly if the warning light is on. Driv-
ing could be dangerous. If you judge it
to be safe, drive carefully to the nearest
service station for repairs. Otherwise,
have your vehicle towed.
● Pressing the brake pedal with the en-
gine stopped and/or a low brake fluid
level may increase your stopping dis-
tance and braking will require greater
pedal effort as well as pedal travel.
● If the brake fluid level is below the
MINIMUM or MIN mark on the brake
fluid reservoir, do not drive until the
brake system has been checked. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.

Operation
The MIL will come on in one of two ways:● MIL on steady — An emission control system
malfunction has been detected. Check the
fuel-filler cap if the LOOSE FUEL CAP
warning appears in the vehicle information
display. If the fuel-filler cap is loose or miss-
ing, tighten or install the cap and continue to
drive the vehicle. The
light should turn
off after a few driving trips. If the
light
does not turn off after a few driving trips,
have the vehicle inspected. It is recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service. You do not need to have your vehicle
towed to the dealer.
● MIL blinking — An engine misfire has been
detected which may damage the emission
control system. To reduce or avoid emission
control system damage:
– do not drive at speeds above 45 mph (72 km/h).
– avoid hard acceleration or deceleration.
– avoid steep uphill grades.
– if possible, reduce the amount of cargo being hauled or towed. The MIL may stop blinking and come on steady.
Have the vehicle inspected, it is recommended
you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service. You do
not need to have your vehicle towed to the dealer.
CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation without hav-
ing the emission control system checked
and repaired as necessary could lead to
poor driveability, reduced fuel economy,
and possible damage to the emission con-
trol system.
READY to drive indicator light
The READY to drive indicator light illuminates
when the hybrid system is powered and the ve-
hicle may be driven.
