2016 NISSAN MURANO HYBRID ESP

WARNING
●The NISSAN PURE DRIVE Hybrid Sys-
tem uses high voltage up to approxi-
mately 168 volts. The system can be hot
while and after starting. Be careful of
both the high voltage and the high tem-
perature. Obey the warning labels at-
tached to the vehicle.
● Never touch, disassemble, remove or
replace high-voltage parts, harnesses
and their connectors. High-voltage har-
nesses are orange. Touching, disassem-
bling, removing or replacing those parts
and harnesses can cause severe burns
or electric shock that may result in seri-
ous injury or death. The vehicle high-
voltage system has no user serviceable
parts. It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for any necessary
maintenance.
● Never try to remove the service plug
located in the console box. The service
plug is used only when the vehicle is
serviced by trained technicians wearing
personal protection equipment and is
part of the high-voltage system. Touch-
ing the service plug can cause severe
burns or electric shock that may result
in serious injury or death.
WARNING
In case of a collision:
●If your vehicle is drivable, pull your ve-
hicle off the road, put the transmission
in the P (Park) position, apply the park-
ing brake and turn the NISSAN PURE
DRIVE Hybrid System off.
● Check to see if there are exposed high-
voltage parts and cables. Never touch
the parts and cables. For their locations,
see “High-voltage components” later in
this section. To avoid personal injury,
never touch high-voltage wiring, con-
nectors, and other high-voltage parts,
such as electric motor inverter and
Lithium ion (Li-ion) battery. An electric
shock may occur if exposed electric
wires are visible when viewed from in-
side or outside of your vehicle. There-
fore, never touch exposed electric
wires.
● If the vehicle receives a strong impact to
the floor while driving, stop the vehicle
in a safe location and check the floor.
● Inspect the ground under the vehicle. If
liquid has leaked onto the ground, the
fuel system may have been damaged.
Leave the vehicle as soon as possible. ●
Leaks or damage to the Li-ion battery
may result in a fire. If you discover them,
contact emergency services immedi-
ately. Since the fluid leak may be
lithium organic electrolyte from the Li-
ion battery, never touch the fluid leak
inside or outside the vehicle. If the fluid
contacts your skin or eyes, wash it off
immediately with a large amount of wa-
ter and receive immediate medical at-
tention to help avoid serious injury.
● If a fire occurs in the hybrid vehicle,
leave the vehicle as soon as possible.
Only use a type ABC, BC or C fire extin-
guisher that is meant for use on electri-
cal fires. Using water or the incorrect
fire extinguisher can result in serious
injury or death from electrical shock.
● If you are not able to safely assess the
vehicle due to vehicle damage, do not
touch the vehicle. Leave the vehicle and
contact emergency services. Advise 1st
responders that this is a hybrid vehicle.

HYBRID VEHICLE
CHARACTERISTICS
WARNING
●When you leave your vehicle, be sure to
place the ignition switch in the OFF
position. ●
Be sure to put the transmission in the P
(Park) position because the vehicle can
move when the READY to drive indica-
tor light is on even if the gasoline en-
gine is not running. When the READY to
drive indicator light is on, do not leave
your vehicle in a shift position other
than the P (Park) position. The vehicle
will creep and start abruptly if the accel-
erator pedal is depressed by mistake.
This may cause serious injury or death.
CAUTION
If the vehicle is parked for a long period of
time, the battery discharges gradually. To
avoid this occurrence, drive the vehicle for
approximately 30 minutes at least once
every two to three months. Otherwise, the
Li-ion battery may be damaged. If the Li-
ion battery is completely discharged and
the hybrid system cannot be activated, it is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer.
High-voltage parts and harnesses on the hybrid
vehicles emit approximately the same amount of
electromagnetic waves as the conventional
gasoline-powered vehicles or home electronic
appliances despite their electromagnetic shield-
ings. Charging the Li-ion battery while driving is impor-
tant. The vehicle cannot run if the Li-ion battery is
discharged. In the N (Neutral) position, the Li-ion
battery does not recharge. Leaving the transmis-
sion in the N (Neutral) position for an extended
period of time may discharge the Li-ion battery.
The Li-ion battery recharges when the shift lever
is in any position other than N (Neutral) .
CAUTION
●
Do not place large amounts of water in
open containers (aquariums or buckets)
on the front passenger’s side floor. If
the water spills onto the Li-ion battery
cooling fan, it may cause a short circuit
and damage the Li-ion battery cooling
fan.
● Do not spill water onto the center con-
sole or around the area. It may cause a
short circuit and damage the Li-ion
battery.

1-8Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

There are three basic types of child restraint
systems:● Rear-facing child restraints
● Forward-facing child restraints
● Booster seats
The proper restraint depends on the child’s size.
Generally, infants up to about 1 year and less
than 20 lbs (9 kg) should be placed in rear-facing
child restraints. Forward-facing child restraints
are available for children who outgrow rear-
facing child restraints and are at least 1 year old.
Booster seats are used to help position a vehicle
lap/shoulder belt on a child who can no longer
use a forward-facing child restraint.
WARNING
Infants and children need special protec-
tion. The vehicle’s seat belts may not fit
them properly. The shoulder belt may
come too close to the face or neck. The lap
belt may not fit over their small hip bones.
In an accident, an improperly fitting seat
belt could cause serious or fatal injury.
Always use appropriate child restraints.
All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or territo-
ries require the use of approved child restraints
for infants and small children. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Child restraints” in this section. A child restraint may be secured in the vehicle by
using either the LATCH (Lower Anchors and
Tethers for CHildren) system or with the vehicle
seat belt. For additional information, refer to
“Child restraints” in this section.
NISSAN recommends that all pre-teens
and children be restrained in the rear seat.
Studies show that children are safer when
properly restrained in the rear seat than in
the front seat.
This is especially important because your
vehicle has a supplemental restraint sys-
tem (air bag system) for the front passen-
ger. For additional information, refer to
“Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)” in
this section.INFANTS
Infants up to at least 1 year old should be placed
in a rear-facing child restraint. NISSAN recom-
mends that infants be placed in child restraints
that comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards or Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards. You should choose a child restraint
that fits your vehicle and always follow the manu-
facturer’s instructions for installation and use.
SMALL CHILDREN
Children that are over 1 year old and weigh at
least 20 lbs (9 kg) should remain in a rear-facing
child restraint as long as possible up to the height
or weight limit of the child restraint. Children who
outgrow the height or weight limit of the rear-
facing child restraint and are at least 1 year old
should be secured in a forward-facing child re-
straint with a harness. Refer to the manufactur-
er’s instructions for minimum and maximum
weight and height recommendations. NISSAN
recommends that small children be placed in
child restraints that comply with Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards or Canadian Motor Ve-
hicle Safety Standards. You should choose a
child restraint that fits your vehicle and always
follow the manufacturer’s instructions for instal-
lation and use.
LARGER CHILDREN
Children should remain in a forward-facing child
restraint with a harness until they reach the maxi-
mum height or weight limit allowed by the child
restraint manufacturer.
1-24Safety—Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

WARNING
●When sitting in the rear bench seat, do
not hold onto the seatback of the front
seat. If the side air bag inflates, you may
be seriously injured. Be especially care-
ful with children, who should always be
properly restrained. Some examples of
dangerous riding positions are shown
in the illustrations.
● Do not use seat covers on the front
seatbacks. They may interfere with side
air bag inflation.

ROOF RACK
Genuine NISSAN accessory cross bars are avail-
able through a NISSAN dealer. It is recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer for crossbar
or other equipment information.
Always distribute the luggage evenly on the cross
bars. Do not load more than 100 lb (45 kg) on the
cross bars. Observe the maximum load limit
shown on the cross bars or roof carriers when
you attach them on the roof cross bars. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer for
crossbar or other equipment information.Do not apply any load directly to the roof side
rails. Cross bars must be installed before apply-
ing load/cargo/luggage to the roof of the vehicle.
Be careful that your vehicle does not exceed the
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or its
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR front and
rear) . The GVWR and GAWR are located on the
F.M.V.S.S. or C.V.M.S.S. certification label (lo-
cated on the driver’s door pillar) . For additional
information regarding GVWR and GAWR, refer
to “Vehicle loading information” in the “Technical
and consumer information” section of this
manual.
WARNING
●
Drive extra carefully when the vehicle is
loaded at or near the cargo carrying
capacity, especially if the significant
portion of that load is carried on the
cross bars.
● Heavy loading of the cross bars has the
potential to affect the vehicle stability
and handling during sudden or unusual
handling maneuvers.
● Roof rack cross bars should be evenly
distributed.
● Do not exceed maximum roof rack cross
bars load. ●
Properly secure all cargo with ropes or
straps to help prevent it from sliding or
shifting. In a sudden stop or collision,
unsecured cargo could cause personal
injury.
