2016 NISSAN MURANO warning

BSW SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the BSW system. Failure to operate the
vehicle in accordance with these system
limitations could result in serious injury or
death.
●The BSW system cannot detect all ve-
hicles under all conditions.
●The radar sensors may not be able to
detect and activate BSW when certain
objects are present such as:
– Pedestrian, bicycles, animals.
– Vehicles such as motorcycles, low
height vehicles, or high ground clear-
ance vehicles.
– Oncoming vehicles.
– Vehicles remaining in the detection
zone when you accelerate from a
stop.
– A vehicle merging into an adjacent
lane at a speed approximately the
same as your vehicle.
– A vehicle approaching rapidly from
behind.– A vehicle which your vehicle over-
takes rapidly.
– A vehicle that passes through the de-
tection zone quickly.
– When overtaking several vehicles in
a row, the vehicles after the first ve-
hicle may not be detected if they are
traveling close together.
●The radar sensors’ detection zone is
designed based on a standard lane
width. When driving in a wider lane,
the radar sensors may not detect ve-
hicles in an adjacent lane. When driv-
ing in a narrow lane, the radar sen-
sors may detect vehicles driving two
lanes away.
●The radar sensors are designed to
ignore most stationary objects, how-
ever objects such as guardrails,
walls, foliage and parked vehicles
may occasionally be detected. This is
a normal operation condition.
●The following conditions may reduce
the ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles:
– Severe weather
– Road spray– Ice/frost/snow build-up on the
vehicle
– Dirt build-up on the vehicle
●Do not attach stickers (including trans-
parent material) , install accessories or
apply additional paint near the radar
sensors. These conditions may reduce
the ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles.
●Excessive noise (for example, audio
system volume, open vehicle window)
will interfere with the chime sound, and
it may not be heard.

SYSTEM TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE
When radar blockage is detected, the system will
be deactivated automatically. The “Side Radar
Obstruction” warning message will appear and
the BSW/RCTA indicator (white) will blink
Ain
the vehicle information display.
The system is not available until the conditions no
longer exist.
The radar sensors may be blocked by temporary
ambient conditions such as splashing water, mist
or fog. The blocked condition may also be caused
by objects such as ice, frost or dirt obstructing
the radar sensors.
NOTE:
If the BSW system stops working, the RCTA
system (if so equipped) will also stop work-
ing.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist, the
system will resume automatically.

Malfunction
If the BSW system malfunctions, it will turn off
automatically. The system malfunction warning
message with the BSW/RCTA indicator (orange)
will appear in the vehicle information display.
NOTE:
If the BSW system stops working, the RCTA
system (if so equipped) will also stop work-
ing.
Action to take:
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, place the
vehicle in the P (Park) position, turn the engine off
and restart the engine. If the message continues
to appear, have the system checked. It is recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer for this ser-
vice.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The two radar sensors1for the BSW and
RCTA systems are located near the rear bumper.
Always keep the area near the radar sensors
clean.
The radar sensors may be blocked by temporary
ambient conditions such as splashing water, mist
or fog.
The blocked condition may also be caused by
objects such as ice, frost or dirt obstructing the
radar sensors.
Check for and remove objects obstructing the
area around the radar sensors.Do not attach stickers (including transparent ma-
terial) , install accessories or apply additional
paint near the radar sensors.
Do not strike or damage the area around the
radar sensors. It is recommended you consult a
NISSAN dealer if the area around the radar sen-
sors is damaged due to a collision.

This device complies with Industry Canada
licence-exempt RSS standard(s) . Opera-
tion is subject to the following two condi-
tions: (1) this device may not cause inter-
ference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference, including interference that
may cause undesired operation of the de-
vice.
Frequency bands: 24.05GHz – 24.25GHz
Output power: less than 20 milliwattsWARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the RCTA system
could result in serious injury or death.
●The RCTA system is not a replacement
for proper driving procedures and is not
designed to prevent contact with ve-
hicles or objects. When backing out of a
parking space, always use the side and
rear mirrors and turn and look in the
direction your vehicle will move. Never
rely solely on the RCTA system.
The RCTA system will assist you when backing
out from a parking space. When the vehicle is in
reverse, the system is designed to detect other
vehicles approaching from the right or left of the
vehicle. If the system detects cross traffic, it will
alert you.

RCTA SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the RCTA system. Failure to operate the
vehicle in accordance with these system
limitations could result in serious injury or
death.
●Always check surroundings and turn to
check what is behind you before back-
ing up. The radar sensors detect ap-
proaching (moving) vehicles. The radar
sensors cannot detect every object such
as:
– Pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles,
animals or child-operated toy
vehicles
– A vehicle that is passing at speeds
greater than approximately 19 mph
(30 km/h)
– A vehicle that is passing at speeds
lower than approximately 5 mph
(8 km/h)
●The radar sensors may not detect ap-
proaching vehicles in certain situations:
– Illustration a: When a vehicle parked
next to you obstructs the beam of the
radar sensor.

PRECAUTIONS ON CRUISE
CONTROL
1. CANCEL switch
2. RES/+ switch
3. SET/- switch
4. ON/OFF switch
●If the cruise control system malfunctions, it
cancels automatically. The CRUISE indica-
tor light in the vehicle information display
then blinks to warn the driver.

CRUISE CONTROL (if so equipped)
Starting and driving5-39

●If the CRUISE indicator light blinks, turn the
cruise control off and have the system
checked. It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.
●The CRUISE indicator light may blink when
the cruise control switch is turned ON while
pushing the RES/+ switch, SET/- switch, or
CANCEL switch. To properly set the cruise
control system, use the following proce-
dures.
WARNING
Do not use the cruise control when driving
under the following conditions:
●When it is not possible to keep the
vehicle at a set speed.
●In heavy traffic or in traffic that varies in
speed.
●On winding or hilly roads.
●On slippery roads (rain, snow, ice, etc.) .
●In very windy areas.
Doing so could cause a loss of vehicle
control and result in an accident.
CRUISE CONTROL OPERATIONS
The cruise control allows driving at a speed be-
tween 25 - 89 mph (40 - 144 km/h) without
keeping your foot on the accelerator pedal.
To turn on the cruise control,push the
ON/OFF switch ON. The CRUISE indicator light
in the vehicle information display will illuminate.
To set cruising speed,accelerate the vehicle to
the desired speed, push the SET/– switch and
release it. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
Your vehicle maintains the set speed.
●To pass another vehicle,depress the ac-
celerator pedal. When you release the
pedal, the vehicle returns to the previously
set speed.
●The vehicle may not maintain the set speed
when going up or down steep hills. If this
happens, drive without the cruise control.
To cancel the preset speed,use one of the
following three methods.
●Push the CANCEL button.
●Tap the brake pedal.
●Push the ON/OFF switch off. The CRUISE
indicator light in the vehicle information dis-
play goes out.The cruise control is automatically canceled if:
●you depress the brake pedal while pushing
the RES/+ or SET/– switch. The preset
speed is deleted from memory.
●the vehicle slows down more than 8 mph
(13 km/h) below the set speed.
●you move the shift lever to N (Neutral) .
To reset at a faster cruising speed,use one of
the following three methods.
●Depress the accelerator pedal. When the
vehicle attains the desired speed, push and
release the SET/– switch.
●Push and hold the RES/+ switch. When the
vehicle attains the speed you desire, release
the switch.
●Push and release the RES/+ switch. Each
time you do this, the set speed increases by
about 1 mph (1.6 km/h).
To reset at a slower cruising speed,use one
of the following three methods.
●Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the ve-
hicle attains the desired speed, push the
SET/– switch and release it.
●Push and hold the SET/– switch. Release
the switch when the vehicle slows to the
desired speed.
