fuel consumption NISSAN MURANO HYBRID 2016 3.G Owners Manual

The NISSAN PURE DRIVE Hybrid System com-
bines the power of a gasoline engine and an
electric motor to help minimize fuel consumption
and emissions.
Depending on driving conditions, the vehicle runs
on a combination of the gasoline engine and the
electric motor, whichever is best for those condi-
tions.
Because the gasoline engine charges the
Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery as needed, the battery
does not have to be charged from an outside
source like an all-electric vehicle.WARNING
If you continue to drive the vehicle while
the warning is displayed, the hybrid sys-
tem may become temporarily inoperative
and the system cannot provide power to
the wheels. This can result in reduced or
zero vehicle speed. The reduced speed or
zero speed may be lower than other traf-
fic, which could increase the chance of a
collision. If the vehicle cannot maintain a
safe driving speed, pull to the side of the
road in a safe area. If this occurs, place the
shift lever in the “P” (Park) position, igni-
tion in the READY to drive position with
the vehicle stopped until the display turns
off. The hybrid system overheat warning
and the SHIFT “P” warning messages will
be alternately displayed. For additional
information, refer to “Shift to Park” in the
“Instruments and controls” section of this
manual.
WARNING
Your vehicle contains a sealed Lithium-ion
(Li-ion) high-voltage battery. If the Li-ion
battery is disposed of improperly, there is
a risk of severe burns and electrical shock
that may result in serious injury or death
and there is also a risk of environmental
damage.
CAUTION
●Do not misuse the Li-ion battery.
● Do not use the Li-ion battery for any
other purpose.
The Li-ion battery is used to drive the electric
motors in the NISSAN PURE DRIVE Hybrid Sys-
tem.
The Li-ion battery has a limited service life. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
information about recycling or disposal of the
battery.
NISSAN PURE DRIVE HYBRID
SYSTEM LITHIUM-ION (Li-ion) BATTERY
HEV-2HEV Overview

The NISSAN PURE DRIVE Hybrid System moni-
tors the status of power being sent between the
electric motor and the Lithium ion (Li-ion) battery
state of charge. The status is shown on the assist
charge gauge in the meter and the energy
flow/remaining Li-ion battery charge in the ve-
hicle information display. System status can also
be shown on the navigation system display and
the meter when the screen is in the energy flow
mode or energy/fuel history mode.
ASSIST CHARGE GAUGE
This meter displays the actual electric motor
power consumption and the charging power to
the Li-ion battery.
For additional information, refer to “Assist charge
gauge” in the “Instruments and controls” section
of this manual.
ENERGY FLOW
When you use this system, make sure the hybrid
system is in the READY to drive mode. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Operation of the hy-
brid system” in this section.If you use the system with the hybrid sys-
tem off (ignition switch placed in the ACC
position) for a long time, it will discharge
the 12-volt battery power, and the hybrid
system will not start.
The energy monitor for various operating modes
can be displayed on the navigation system moni-
tor and the meter.
Touch the “Info” key on the navigation system
monitor, then touch the “Vehicle” key on the navi-
gation system monitor. Touch “Energy Flow” on
the navigation system monitor.

ENERGY MONITORS
HEV-6HEV Overview

This is an example of the Energy Flow display.
The Energy Flow display changes, depending on
the following operating conditions. The graphic
indicates the amount of power in the Li-ion bat-
tery.
The following are displayed on the Energy Flow
display:● When the vehicle is powered only by the
electric motor or gasoline engine.
● When the vehicle is powered by both the
electric motor and the gasoline engine. ●
When the vehicle is charging the Li-ion bat-
tery with the regenerative brake or gasoline
engine.
● When the vehicle is powered by the gaso-
line engine and is charging the Li-ion battery.
● When there is no Energy Flow in the vehicle
The Energy Flow and remaining Li-ion battery
charge can be also shown on the vehicle infor-
mation display. For additional information, refer to
“Vehicle information display” in the “Instruments
and controls” section of this manual.FUEL ECONOMY
Press thebuttons on the steering
wheel to go back or forward through the vehicle
information menu items until “Fuel Economy” ap-
pears on the vehicle information display screen.
This screen displays the rate of fuel consumption
and distance to empty.

FUEL ECONOMY HISTORY
The Fuel Economy History screen appears in the
display with the navigation system when the
screen is in the Fuel Economy History mode.1.
Touch the “Info” key on the navigation system
monitor, then touch the “Vehicle” key on the
navigation system monitor. Touch the “Energy
Flow” key on the navigation system monitor.
2. Touch the “History” key on the navigation system monitor.
The Fuel Economy History can be displayed on
the navigation system monitor. This displays the
vehicle’s average fuel consumption and regen-
erative electric power at 2 minute intervals. The displayed values on the screen indicate gen-
eral driving conditions. Accuracy varies with driv-
ing habits and road conditions.
1. Regenerated energy in the past 12 minutes: The regenerated energy in the past 12 min-
utes is indicated with symbols. One symbol
indicates 30 watt-hour. The energy of a
30 watt-hour illuminates a 30 watt bulb for
an hour.
2. Fuel consumption in the past 12 minutes: Fuel consumption in the past 12 minutes is
displayed.
3. Current fuel consumption (Last column): The current fuel consumption is calculated
and displayed based on distance and fuel
consumption.
NOTE:
Information shown in the yellow column
means current (within 2 minutes) and infor-
mation shown in the blue columns means
past (more than 2 minutes) .
The Fuel Economy History can also be shown on
the vehicle information display. For additional in-
formation, refer to “Vehicle information display” in
the “Instruments and controls” section of this
manual. This vehicle is equipped with two braking sys-
tems.
● Hydraulic brake system
● Regenerative brake system
When the vehicle decelerates while the vehicle is
driven with the shift lever in the D (drive) position,
the Li-ion battery can be charged by the electric
motor. The electric motor converts the energy of
the rotating wheels into electric power under the
following circumstances: ● When the accelerator pedal is released
● When the brake pedal is depressed
● When there is no malfunction in the brake
system or the NISSAN PURE DRIVE Hybrid
System.
The regenerative brake may not work properly if
the vehicle is installed with tires and road wheels
other than the ones specified in this manual.
While the regenerative cooperative brake system is
operating, you might feel a slight vibration or hear
the system working when braking. This is normal.
The regenerative cooperative brake system con-
trols both hydraulic and regenerative brakes. If
you feel unusual deceleration when braking, it is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer to
check both the brake and hybrid systems.

REGENERATIVE BRAKE
HEV-8HEV Overview

Incorrect ignition timing may result in spark
knock, after-run and/or overheating, which may
cause excessive fuel consumption or engine
damage. If any of the above symptoms are en-
countered, have your vehicle checked. It is rec-
ommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
servicing.
However, now and then you may notice
light spark knock for a short time while
accelerating or driving up hills. This is not a
cause for concern, because you get the
greatest fuel benefit when there is light
spark knock for a short time under heavy
engine load.
ENGINE OIL AND OIL FILTER
RECOMMENDATIONS
Selecting the correct oil
It is essential to choose the correct grade, quality
and viscosity engine oil to ensure satisfactory
engine life and performance. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Recommended fluids/lubricants
and capacities” in this section. NISSAN recom-
mends the use of an energy conserving oil in
order to improve fuel economy.
Select only engine oils that meet the American
Petroleum Institute (API) certification or Interna-
tional Lubricant Standardization and ApprovalCommittee (ILSAC) certification and SAE vis-
cosity standard. These oils have the API certifica-
tion mark on the front of the container. Oils which
do not have the specified quality label should not
be used as they could cause engine damage.Oil additives
NISSAN does not recommend the use of oil
additives. The use of an oil additive is not neces-
sary when the proper oil type is used and main-
tenance intervals are followed.
Oil which may contain foreign matter or has been
previously used should not be used.
