2016 NISSAN MURANO HYBRID Owners Manual

WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the PFCW system. Failure to operate the
vehicle in accordance with these system
limitations could result in serious injury or
death.
●The PFCW system cannot detect all ve-
hicles under all conditions.
● The radar sensor does not detect the
following objects:
– Pedestrians, animals or obstacles in the roadway – Oncoming vehicles
– Crossing vehicles
● (Illustration A) The PFCW system does
not function when a vehicle ahead is a
narrow vehicle, such as a motorcycle.
● The radar sensor may not detect a ve-
hicle ahead in the following conditions:
– Snow or heavy rain
– Dirt, ice, snow or other material cov- ering the radar sensor.
– Interference by other radar sources. – Snow or road spray from traveling
vehicles.
– Driving in a tunnel
– (Illustration B) When the vehicle ahead is being towed.
– (Illustration C) When the distance to the vehicle ahead is too close, the
beam of the radar sensor is
obstructed.
– (Illustration D) When driving on a steep downhill slope or roads with
sharp curves.

●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,
etc. In these cases, the system may not
be able to warn the driver properly. Be
sure that you check, clean and clear the
sensor area regularly.
● Excessive noise will interfere with the
warning chime sound, and the chime
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 PFCW system is
automatically turned off.
The FEB system warning light (orange) will illu-
minate.
Action to take
When the above conditions no longer exist, the
PFCW system will resume automatically.
Condition B
When the sensor area of the front bumper is
covered with dirt or is obstructed, making it im-
possible to detect a vehicle ahead, the PFCW
system is automatically turned off.
The FEB system warning light (orange) will illu-
minate and the “front radar obstruction” warning
message will appear in the vehicle information
display.
Action to take
If the warning light (orange) comes on, stop the
vehicle in a safe place, place the shift lever in the
P (Park) position and turn the hybrid system off.
LSD2532
5-72Starting and driving

Clean the radar cover on the lower grille with a
soft cloth, and restart the hybrid system. If the
warning light continues to illuminate, have the
PFCW system checked. It is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
NOTE:
If the FEB system stops working, the PFCW
system (if so equipped) will also stop work-
ing.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
If the PFCW system malfunctions, it will be
turned off automatically, a chime will sound, the
FEB system warning light (orange) will illuminate
and the warning message [Malfunction] will ap-
pear in the vehicle information display.
Action to take
If the warning light (orange) comes on, stop the
vehicle in a safe location, turn the hybrid system
off and restart the hybrid system. If the warning
light continues to illuminate, have the PFCW
system checked. It is recommended that you visit
a NISSAN dealer for this service.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The sensorAis located behind the lower grille
of the front bumper.
To keep the system operating properly, be sure to
observe the following:
● Always keep the sensor area of the front
bumper clean.
● Do not strike or damage the areas around
the sensor.
● Do not cover or attach stickers or similar
objects on the front bumper near the sensor
area. This could cause failure or malfunction. ●
Do not attach metallic objects near the sen-
sor area (brush guard, etc.) . This could
cause failure or malfunction.
● Do not alter, remove or paint the front bum-
per. Before customizing or restoring the
front bumper, it is recommended that you
contact a NISSAN dealer.

dio exempts de licence. L’exploitation est autori-
sée aux deux conditions suivantes: (1) l’appareil
ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2)
l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit accepter tout brouil-
lage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage

nement.WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the Driver Attention
Alert system could result in serious injury
or death.
● The Driver Attention Alert system is only
a warning to inform the driver of a po-
tential lack of driver attention or
drowsiness. It will not steer the vehicle
or prevent loss of control.
● The Driver Attention Alert system does
not detect and provide an alert of the
driver’s lack of attention or fatigue in
every situation.
● It is the driver’s responsibility to:
● stay alert,
● drive safely,
● keep the vehicle in the traveling lane,
● be in control of the vehicle at all
times,
● avoid driving when tired,
● avoid distractions (texting, etc) .
The Driver Attention Alert system helps alert the
driver if the system detects a lack of attention or
driving fatigue.
DRIVER ATTENTION ALERT (if so
equipped)
5-74Starting and driving

The system monitors driving style and steering
behavior over a period of time, and it detects
changes from the normal pattern. If the system
detects that driver attention is decreasing over a
period of time, the system uses audible and visual
warnings to suggest that the driver take a break.
DRIVER ATTENTION ALERT SYSTEM
OPERATION
If the system detects driver fatigue or that driver
attention is decreasing, the message “Take a
break?” appears in the vehicle information display
and a chime sounds when the vehicle is driven at
speeds above 37 mph (60 km/h).
The system continuously monitors driver atten-
tion and can provide multiple warnings per trip.
The system resets and starts reassessing driving
style and steering behavior when the ignition
switch is cycled from on to off and back on.
