warning NISSAN MURANO 2005 1.G Manual PDF

If the Intelligent Key receives strong
signal over an extended period of time,
the battery of the Intelligent Key could
quickly run down. Do not place the In-
telligent Key near an electric appliance
such as a television set or personal
computer.

Because the ignition switch is electroni-
cally controlled, if the vehicle battery is
completely discharged when the igni-
tion switch is in the LOCK position, the
steering lock cannot be released or the
ignition switch cannot be turned (not by
the mechanical key either).

In case the vehicle battery is completely
discharged, make sure to recharge the
vehicle battery immediately.
1. Intelligent Key 2 sets
2. Mechanical key (metal key)*1*2 2 sets
3. Valet key (with built-in transponder chip)*1
4. Key number plate
*1 The mechanical key and valet key are
equipped with Nissan Vehicle ImmobilizerSystem. Refer to “Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer
System (NVIS) keys” earlier in this section.
*2 Mechanical key is included in the Intelligent
Key. Refer to “Operation with the mechanical
key” later in this section for how to remove
the mechanical key from the Intelligent Key.
WARNING

The Intelligent Key transmits radio
waves that can adversely affect medi-
cal electric equipment.

If you have a pacemaker, you should
contact the medical equipment
manufacturer to ask if it will be af-
fected by the Intelligent Key signal.
Record the key number on the key number
plate/metal tag and keep it in a safe place (such
as your wallet), NOT IN THE VEHICLE. A key
number plate is supplied with your key. Keep the
plate in a safe place. NISSAN does not record
key numbers so it is very important to keep track
of your key number plate.
As many as 4 Intelligent Key can be used with
one vehicle. For information concerning the pur-
chase and use of an additional Intelligent Key,
contact a NISSAN dealer.

FUEL FILLER CAPThe fuel filler cap is a ratcheting type. Turn the
cap counterclockwise
A
to remove.
To tighten, turn the cap clockwise until ratchet-
ing clicks are heard.
Put the fuel filler cap on the cap holder
Bwhile
refueling.
WARNING

Gasoline is extremely flammable andhighly explosive under certain condi-
tions. You could be burned or seri-
ously injured if it is misused or mis-
handled. Always stop the engine and
do not smoke or allow open flames
or sparks near the vehicle when refu-
eling.

Fuel may be under pressure. Turn the
cap a third of a turn, and wait for any
“hissing sound” to stop to prevent
fuel from spraying out and possibly
causing personal injury. Then remove
the cap.
Do not attempt to top off the fuel
tank after the fuel pump nozzle shuts
off automatically.
Continued refueling may cause fuel
overflow, resulting in fuel spray and
possibly a fire.

Use only an original equipment type
fuel filler cap as a replacement. It has
a built-in safety valve needed for
proper operation of the fuel system
and emission control system. An in-
correct cap can result in a serious
malfunction and possible injury. It
could also cause the
malfunc-
tion indicator lamp to come on.

Do not fill a portable fuel container in
the vehicle or trailer. Static electricity
can cause an explosion of flammable
liquid, vapor or gas in any vehicle or
trailer. To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death when filling portable
fuel containers:
— Always place the container on the
ground when filling.
— Do not use electronic devices
