High-voltage Battery Electrolyte Solution Characteristics:
• Clear in color
• Sweet odor
• Similar viscosity to water
• Since the high-voltage battery is made up of many small sealed battery modules, electrolyte solution leakage should be minimal.
NOTE:
Other fluids in the vehicle (such as engine oil, washer fluid, brake fluid, coolant, etc.) are
the same as those in a conventional vehicle.

4-1.1 Jump Starting Procedures
NO
TE:
Jumper cable connections under the hood of the Murano HYBRID are not connected
directly to a battery. They are connected to chassis ground and a fuse box terminal. Refer
to the following instructions and the above illustration.
1. Locate the fusible link box behind the engine air cleaner.
2. Push the tab in and lift up ○A
to remove the lid and expose the remote positive battery terminal
○B
.
3. If the booster battery is in another vehicle, position the two vehicles to bring their batteries near each other.
DO NOT allow the two vehicles to touch.
4. Apply the parking brake. Move the selector lever to the P (Park) . Switch off all unnecessary electrical systems (lights, heater, air conditioner, etc.) .
5. Remove vent caps on the battery (if so equipped) of the vehicle with battery for booster. Cover the battery with an old cloth ○F
to reduce explosion hazard.
6. Connect jumper cables in the sequence as illustrated (
○B
○C
○D
○E
). • Always connect positive (+) to positive (+) and negative (-) to body ground (for example,
as
illustrated) , not to the 12-volt battery.
• Make sure the jumper cables do not touch moving parts in the engine compartment and that the cable clamps do not contact any other metal.
7. Start the engine of the booster vehicle and let it run for a few minutes.
8. Hold down the brake pedal and press the START button. The vehicle instruments and gauges will light up, and the green READY light will come ON.A

If the green READY light does not come on, press the START button to turn the
Hybrid
System OFF. Carefully disconnect the negative cable then the positive cable. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer for repair.
9. After the green READY light in the meter display comes ON, carefully disconnect the
negative
cable and then the positive cable.
10. Replace the vent caps (if so equipped) . Be sure to dispose of the cloth used to cover the vent holes as it may be contaminated with corrosive acid.
11. Reinstall the fusible link box cover.
NOTE:
If it is not possible to turn the hybrid system ON by following this procedure, it is
recommended you contact a NISSAN dealer immediately.
4-1.2 Shift Selector Lever Lock Release
If the 12-volt battery is low or discharged, the selector lever cannot be moved from the Park (P) position. If a
booster battery is not available, the selector lever lock can be manually released. To manually release the
selector lever lock, perform the following procedure: 1. Push the ignition switch to the LOCK or OFF position.
2. Apply the parking brake.
3. Remove the shift lock cover (A)using a suitable tool.

4-3.2 Towing Guidelines
Nissan
strongly recommends that Murano HYBRID be towed with the driving wheels off the ground or that
the vehicle be placed on a flatbed truck. • AWD Models: Never tow with any of the wheels on the ground, as this may cause
serious
and expensive damage to the powertrain.
• FWD Models: Never tow with the front wheels on the ground, as this may cause serious and expensive damage to the powertrain.
• Transport the vehicle only after turning the ignition switch OFF.
• Safety chains or cables must be attached only to the main structural members of the vehicle. Otherwise, the vehicle body will be damaged.
• Do not use the vehicle tie down points to free a vehicle stuck in sand, snow, mud, etc.
• Never tow a vehicle using the vehicle tie down.
• Always pull the recovery device straight out from the vehicle. Never pull on the vehicle at an angle.
• Pulling devices should be routed so they do not touch any part of the suspension, steering, brake, high-voltage or cooling systems.
• Pulling devices such as ropes or canvas straps are not recommended for use in vehicle towing or recovery.
Perform vehicle towing by holding up drive wheels (front or all depending on model) or on flatbed in order to
prevent secondary damage from voltage generated by the motor. In addition, turn the ignition switch OFF
when towing the vehicle. Refer to the following illustration:

4-4 Jacking Up the Vehicle and Changing a Tire
Always follow these instructions when jacking up the vehicle and changing a tire:
•
Never change a tire when the vehicle is on a slope, ice or slippery areas. Jack must be on
level ground.
• Make sure the parking brake is securely applied and shift selector is in P (Park) position.
• Never get under the vehicle while it is supported only by the jack. If it is necessary to work under the vehicle, support it with safety stands.
• Use the correct jack-up points. Never use any other part of the vehicle for jack support.
• Never jack up the vehicle more than necessary.
• Never use blocks on or under the jack.
• Do not start or run the engine while vehicle is on the jack. It may cause the vehicle to move. This is especially true for vehicles with limited slip differentials.
• Do not allow passengers to stay in the vehicle while it is on the jack.
• Never run the engine with a wheel(s) off the ground. It may cause the vehicle to move.
• Be sure to block the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel being removed as the vehicle may move and result in personal injury.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious personal injury or death and/or
vehicle damage.
1. Open the liftgate and lift the luggage board in the cargoarea using the strap.
2. Remove the jack and tool kit cover by lifting up using the strap. AAYIA0429ZZ
