brake sensor NISSAN MURANO 2016 3.G Owners Manual

Be sure you do not put anything on top of
the autolight sensor located in the top side
1of the instrument panel. The autolight
sensor controls the autolight; if it is cov-
ered, the autolight sensor reacts as if it is
dark out and the headlights will illuminate.
If this occurs while parked with the engine
off and the ignition switch placed in the ON
position, your vehicle’s battery could be-
come discharged.
Headlight beam select
1To select the high beam function, push the
lever forward while the low beams are on.
The high beam lights come on and the
indicator light illuminates.
2Pull the lever back to return to the low beam.
3Pulling and releasing the lever flashes the
headlight high beams on and off. The low
beams do not need to be on for this to
function.
Battery saver system
If the ignition switch is placed in the OFF position
while the headlight switch is in the
orposition, the headlights will turn off after
a period of time.
CAUTION
Even though the battery saver feature au-
tomatically turns off the headlights after a
period of time, you should turn the head-
light switch to the OFF position when the
engine is not running to avoid discharging
the vehicle battery.
DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT SYSTEM
The daytime running lights automatically illumi-
nate when the engine is started with the parking
brake released. The daytime running lights oper-
ate with the headlight switch in the OFF position
or in the
position. Turn the headlight switch
to the
position for full illumination when
driving at night.

TPMS with Easy Fill Tire Alert
When adding air to an under-inflated tire, the
TPMS with Easy Fill Tire Alert provides visual andaudible signals outside the vehicle to help you
inflate the tires to the recommended COLD tire
pressure.
Vehicle set-up
1. Park the vehicle in a safe and level place.
2. Apply the parking brake and place the shift
lever to the P (Park) position.
3. Place the ignition switch to the ON position.
Do not start the engine.
Operation
1. Add air to the tire.
2. After a few seconds, the hazard indicators
will start flashing.
3. When the designated pressure is reached,
the horn beeps once and the hazard indica-
tors stop flashing.
4. Perform the above steps for each tire.
●If the tire is over-inflated more than ap-
proximately 4 psi (30 kPa) , the horn
beeps and the hazard indicators flash
three times. To correct the pressure, push
the core of the valve stem on the tire
briefly to release pressure. When the
pressure reaches the designated pres-
sure, the horn beeps once.●If the hazard indicator does not flash
within approximately 15 seconds after
starting to inflate the tire, it indicates that
the Easy Fill Tire Alert is not operating.
●The TPMS will not activate the Easy Fill
Tire Alert under the following conditions:
– If there is interference from an external
device or transmitter.
– The air pressure from the inflation device
is not sufficient to inflate the tire.
– There is a malfunction in the TPMS sys-
tem.
– There is a malfunction in the horn or haz-
ard indicators.
– The identification code of the tires pres-
sure sensor is not registered to the sys-
tem.
– The battery of the tire pressure sensor is
low.
●If the Easy Fill Tire Alert does not operate
due to TPMS interference, move the ve-
hicle about 3 ft (1 m) backward or forward
and try again.
If the Easy Fill Tire Alert is not working, use a tire
pressure gauge.
5-6Starting and driving

●Push and release the SET/– switch. Each
time you do this, the set speed decreases by
about 1 mph (1.6 km/h).
To resume the preset speed,push and re-
lease the RES/+ switch. The vehicle returns to
the last set cruising speed when the vehicle
speed is over 25 mph (40 km/h).
To turn off the cruise control,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.WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the ICC system
could result in serious injury or death.
●The ICC system is only an aid to assist
the driver and is not a collision warning
or avoidance device. It is the driver’s
responsibility to stay alert, drive safely
and be in control of the vehicle at all
times.
●Always observe posted speed limits
and do not set the speed over them.
●Always drive carefully and attentively
when using the ICC system. Read and
understand the Owner’s Manual thor-
oughly before using the ICC system. To
avoid serious injury or death, do not rely
on the system to prevent accidents or to
control the vehicle’s speed in emer-
gency situations. Do not use the ICC
system except in appropriate road and
traffic conditions.The ICC system is intended to enhance the op-
eration of the vehicle when following a vehicle
traveling in the same lane and direction.
The ICC system uses a radar sensor
Alocated
on the front of the vehicle to detect vehicles
traveling ahead.
If the radar sensor detects a slower moving ve-
hicle ahead, the system will reduce the vehicle
speed so that your vehicle follows the vehicle in
front at the selected distance.
The detection range of the sensor is approxi-
mately 390ft (120 m) ahead.

Approach warning
If your vehicle comes closer to the vehicle ahead
due to rapid deceleration of that vehicle or if
another vehicle cuts in, the system warns the
driver with the chime and ICC system display.
Decelerate by depressing the brake pedal to
maintain a safe vehicle distance if:
●The chime sounds.
●The vehicle ahead detection indicator blinks.
The warning chime may not sound in some cases
when there is a short distance between vehicles.
Some examples are:
●When the vehicles are traveling at the same
speed and the distance between vehicles is
not changing.
●When the vehicle ahead is traveling faster
and the distance between vehicles is in-
creasing.
●When a vehicle cuts in near your vehicle.
The warning chime will not sound when:
●The vehicle approaches other vehicles that
are parked or moving slowly.
●The accelerator pedal is depressed, overrid-
ing the system.NOTE:
The approach warning chime may sound
and the system display may blink when the
ICC sensor detects objects on the side of
the vehicle or on the side of the road. This
may cause the ICC system to decelerate or
accelerate the vehicle. The ICC sensor may
detect these objects when the vehicle is
driven on winding roads, narrow roads, hilly
roads, or when entering or exiting a curve.
In these cases you will have to manually
control the proper distance ahead of your
vehicle.
Also, the sensor sensitivity can be affected by
vehicle operation (steering maneuver or driving
position in the lane) or traffic or vehicle condition
(for example, if a vehicle is being driven with some
damage) .

●The system may not detect the vehicle
in front of you in certain road or weather
conditions. To avoid accidents, never
use the ICC system under the following
conditions:
– On roads where the traffic is heavy or
there are sharp curves
– On slippery road surfaces such as on
ice or snow, etc.
– During bad weather (rain, fog, snow,
etc.)
– When rain, snow or dirt adhere to the
bumper around the distance sensor
– On steep downhill roads (the vehicle
may go beyond the set vehicle speed
and frequent braking may result in
overheating the brakes)
– On repeated uphill and downhill
roads
– When traffic conditions make it diffi-
cult to keep a proper distance be-
tween vehicles because of frequent
acceleration or deceleration
– Interference by other radar sources.●Do not use the ICC system if you are
towing a trailer. The system may not
detect a vehicle ahead.
●In some road or traffic conditions, a
vehicle or object can unexpectedly
come into the sensor detection zone
and cause automatic braking. Always
stay alert and avoid using the ICC sys-
tem where not recommended in this
warning section.
The radar sensor will not detect the following
objects:
●Stationary and slow moving vehicles
●Pedestrians or objects in the roadway
●Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
●Motorcycles traveling offset in the travel lane
The following are some conditions in which the
sensor cannot properly detect a vehicle ahead
and the system may not operate properly:
●When snow or road spray from traveling
vehicles reduces the sensor’s detection.●When excessively heavy baggage is loaded
in the rear seat or the liftgate of your vehicle.
The ICC system is designed to automatically
check the sensor’s operation within the limita-
tions of the system.
The detection zone of the ICC sensor is limited. A
vehicle ahead must be in the detection zone for
the vehicle-to-vehicle distance detection mode
to maintain the selected distance from the vehicle
ahead.
A vehicle ahead may move outside of the detec-
tion zone due to its position within the same lane
of travel. Motorcycles may not be detected in the
same lane ahead if they are traveling offset from
the centerline of the lane. A vehicle that is enter-
ing the lane ahead may not be detected until the
vehicle has completely moved into the lane.
If this occurs, the ICC system may warn you
by blinking the system indicator and
sounding the chime. The driver may have to
manually control the proper distance away
from the vehicle traveling ahead.

system warning light illuminates.
NOTE:
●The FEB system will be automatically turned
on when the engine is restarted.
●The PFCW system (if so equipped) is inte-
grated into the FEB system. There is not a
separate selection in the vehicle information
display for the PFCW system. When the
FEB is turned off, the PFCW system is also
turned off.
FEB SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the FEB system. Failure to operate the
vehicle in accordance with these system
limitations could result in serious injury or
death.
●The FEB system cannot detect all ve-
hicles under all conditions.
●The radar sensor does not detect the
following objects:
– Pedestrians, animals or obstacles in
the roadway.
– Oncoming vehicles.
– Crossing vehicles.
●The radar sensor has some perfor-
mance limitations. If a stationary ve-
hicle is in the vehicle’s path, the FEB
system will not function when the ve-
hicle is driven at speeds over approxi-
mately 50 mph (80 km/h).
●The radar sensor may not detect a ve-
hicle ahead in the following conditions:
– Dirt, ice, snow or other material cov-
ering the radar sensor.– Interference by other radar sources.
– Snow or road spray from traveling
vehicles.
– If the vehicle ahead is narrow (e.g.
motorcycle) .
– When driving on a steep downhill
slope or roads with sharp curves.
●In some road or traffic conditions, the
FEB system may unexpectedly apply
partial braking. When acceleration is
necessary, continue to depress the ac-
celerator pedal to override the system.
●Braking distances increase on slippery
surfaces.
●The system is designed to automatically
check the sensor’s functionality, within
certain limitations. The system may not
detect some forms of obstructions of
the sensor area such as ice, snow, stick-
ers, etc. In these cases, the system may
not be able to worn the driver properly.
Be sure that you check, clean and clear
the sensor area regularly.
●Excessive noise will interfere with the
warning chime sound, and the chime
may not be heard.

WARNING
Do not pump the brake pedal. Doing so
may result in increased stopping
distances.
Self-test feature
The ABS includes electronic sensors, electric
pumps, hydraulic solenoids and a computer. The
computer has a built-in diagnostic feature that
tests the system each time you start the engine
and move the vehicle at a low speed in forward or
reverse. When the self-test occurs, you may hear
a “clunk” noise and/or feel a pulsation in the brake
pedal. This is normal and does not indicate a
malfunction. If the computer senses a malfunc-
tion, it switches the ABS off and illuminates the
ABS warning light on the instrument panel. The
brake system then operates normally, but without
anti-lock assistance.
If the ABS warning light illuminates during the
self-test or while driving, have the vehicle
checked. It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.
Normal operation
The ABS operates at speeds above3-6mph(5
- 10 km/h). The speed varies according to road
conditions.When the ABS senses that one or more wheels
are close to locking up, the actuator rapidly ap-
plies and releases hydraulic pressure. This action
is similar to pumping the brakes very quickly. You
may feel a pulsation in the brake pedal and hear a
noise from under the hood or feel a vibration from
the actuator when it is operating. This is normal
and indicates that the ABS is operating properly.
However, the pulsation may indicate that road
conditions are hazardous and extra care is re-
quired while driving.
BRAKE ASSIST
When the force applied to the brake pedal ex-
ceeds a certain level, the brake assist is activated
generating greater braking force than a conven-
tional brake booster even with light pedal force.
WARNING
The brake assist is only an aid to assist
braking operation and is not a collision
warning or avoidance device. It is the driv-
er’s responsibility to stay alert, drive
safely and be in control of the vehicle at all
times.The VDC system uses various sensors to monitor
driver inputs and vehicle motion. Under certain
driving conditions, the VDC system helps to per-
form the following functions:
●Controls brake pressure to reduce wheel
slip on one slipping drive wheel so power is
transferred to a non slipping drive wheel on
the same axle.
●Controls brake pressure and engine output
to reduce drive wheel slip based on vehicle
speed (traction control function) .
●Controls brake pressure at individual wheels
and engine output to help the driver maintain
control of the vehicle in the following condi-
tions:
– understeer (vehicle tends to not follow
the steered path despite increased steer-
ing input)
– oversteer (vehicle tends to spin due to
certain road or driving conditions)
The VDC system can help the driver to maintain
control of the vehicle, but it cannot prevent loss of
vehicle control in all driving situations.
