2016 NISSAN MURANO Owners Manual

LUGGAGE HOOKS
When securing items using luggage hooks lo-
cated on the back of the seat or side finisher do
not apply a load over more than 6.5 lbs (29 N) to
a single hook.
The luggage hooks that are located on the floor
should have loads less than 110 lbs (490 N) to a
single hook.
The luggage hooks can be used to secure cargo
with ropes or other types of straps.
WARNING
●Properly secure all cargo with ropes or
straps to help prevent it from sliding or
shifting. Do not place cargo higher than
the seatbacks. In a sudden stop or col-
lision, unsecured cargo could cause
personal injury.
●Use suitable ropes and hooks to secure
cargo.
●Never allow anyone to ride in the lug-
gage area. It is extremely dangerous to
ride in a cargo area inside of a vehicle.
In a collision, people riding in these
areas are more likely to be seriously
injured or killed.
●Do not allow people to ride in any area
of your vehicle that is not equipped with
seats and seat belts.
●The child restraint top tether strap may
be damaged by contact with items in
the cargo area. Secure any items in the
cargo area. Your child could be seri-
ously injured or killed in a collision if
the top tether strap is damaged.
●Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a
seat and using a seat belt properly.
ROOF RACK (if so equipped)
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.
CAUTION
Always install the cross bars onto the roof
side rails before loading cargo of any kind.
Loading cargo directly onto the roof side
rails or the vehicle’s roof may cause ve-
hicle damage.
POWER WINDOWS
WARNING
●Make sure that all passengers have
their hands, etc. inside the vehicle while
it is in motion and before closing the
windows. Use the window lock switch to
prevent unexpected use of the power
windows.
●To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of the
vehicle and or its systems, including
entrapment in windows or inadvertent
door lock activation, do not leave chil-
dren, people who require the assistance
of others or pets unattended in your
vehicle. Additionally, the temperature
inside a closed vehicle on a warm day
can quickly become high enough to
cause a significant risk of injury or
death to people and pets.

switch is placed in the ON position, or for a
period of time after the ignition switch is placed in
