NISSAN MURANO HYBRID 2016 3.G Roadside Assistance Guide

High-voltage Battery Electrolyte Solution Characteristics:
• Clear in color
• Sweet odor
• Similar viscosity to water
• Since the high-voltage battery is made up of many small sealed battery modules, electrolyte solution leakage should be minimal.
NOTE:
Other fluids in the vehicle (such as engine oil, washer fluid, brake fluid, coolant, etc.) are
the same as those in a conventional vehicle.

Jump Starting
To start the hybrid system with a booster battery, the instructions and precautions below must be followed. If done incorrectly, jump starting can lead to a 12-volt battery explosion, resulting in severe
personal

injury or death. It could also damage your vehicle.
Jump starting provides power to the 12-volt system to allow the electrical systems to operate. The electrical
systems must be operating to allow the high-voltage battery to be charged. Jump starting does not charge
the high-voltage battery.
Discharged 12-volt battery may cause the following issues: • The instrument cluster cannot be displayed while the ignition switch is turned ON. (The hybridsystem cannot start.)
• Headlamps, horn, etc. are weak. • To avoid electrical shock, the high-voltage battery CANNOT be jump started.
•

Explosive hydrogen gas is always present in the vicinity of the 12-volt battery. Keep all
sparks and flames away from the 12-volt battery. Make sure the vent tube is mounted.
• Do not allow battery fluid to come into contact with eyes, skin, clothing or painted surfaces. Battery fluid is a corrosive sulfuric acid solution that can cause severe burns.
If the fluid comes into contact with anything, immediately flush the contacted area
with water.
• The booster battery must be rated at 12 volts. Use of an improperly rated battery can damage the vehicle.
• Whenever working on or near a 12-volt battery, always wear suitable eye protectors (for example, goggles or industrial safety spectacles) and remove rings, metal bands, or any
other jewelry. Do not lean over the 12-volt battery when jump starting.
• Do not attempt to jump start a frozen battery. It could explode and cause serious injury.
• Murano HYBRID is equipped with an automatic cooling fan. It could come on at any time. Keep hands and other objects away from it.
• Always follow the jump starting instructions below. Failure to do so could result in damage to the charging system and cause personal injury.

4-3.2 Towing Guidelines
Nissan
strongly recommends that Murano HYBRID be towed with the driving wheels off the ground or that
the vehicle be placed on a flatbed truck. • AWD Models: Never tow with any of the wheels on the ground, as this may cause
serious
and expensive damage to the powertrain.
• FWD Models: Never tow with the front wheels on the ground, as this may cause serious and expensive damage to the powertrain.
• Transport the vehicle only after turning the ignition switch OFF.
• Safety chains or cables must be attached only to the main structural members of the vehicle. Otherwise, the vehicle body will be damaged.
• Do not use the vehicle tie down points to free a vehicle stuck in sand, snow, mud, etc.
• Never tow a vehicle using the vehicle tie down.
• Always pull the recovery device straight out from the vehicle. Never pull on the vehicle at an angle.
• Pulling devices should be routed so they do not touch any part of the suspension, steering, brake, high-voltage or cooling systems.
• Pulling devices such as ropes or canvas straps are not recommended for use in vehicle towing or recovery.
Perform vehicle towing by holding up drive wheels (front or all depending on model) or on flatbed in order to
prevent secondary damage from voltage generated by the motor. In addition, turn the ignition switch OFF
when towing the vehicle. Refer to the following illustration:

4-4 Jacking Up the Vehicle and Changing a Tire
Always follow these instructions when jacking up the vehicle and changing a tire:
•
Never change a tire when the vehicle is on a slope, ice or slippery areas. Jack must be on
level ground.
• Make sure the parking brake is securely applied and shift selector is in P (Park) position.
• Never get under the vehicle while it is supported only by the jack. If it is necessary to work under the vehicle, support it with safety stands.
• Use the correct jack-up points. Never use any other part of the vehicle for jack support.
• Never jack up the vehicle more than necessary.
• Never use blocks on or under the jack.
• Do not start or run the engine while vehicle is on the jack. It may cause the vehicle to move. This is especially true for vehicles with limited slip differentials.
• Do not allow passengers to stay in the vehicle while it is on the jack.
• Never run the engine with a wheel(s) off the ground. It may cause the vehicle to move.
• Be sure to block the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel being removed as the vehicle may move and result in personal injury.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious personal injury or death and/or
vehicle damage.
1. Open the liftgate and lift the luggage board in the cargoarea using the strap.

9. To lift the vehicle, securely hold the jack lever and rod with both hands as shown. Carefully raise
the vehicle until the tire clears the ground. Remove the wheel nuts, and then remove the tire.
10. Install new or repaired tire and hand-tighten the wheel nuts with the wheel nut wrench in an alternating pattern. Always follow these instructions when changing a tire:
•

Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly tightened wheel
nuts can cause the wheel to become loose or come
off. This could cause an accident.
• Do not use oil or grease on the wheel studs or nuts. This could cause the nuts to become loose.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious
personal injury or death and/or vehicle damage.
11. Securely torque the wheel nuts in an alternating pattern to 83 ft-lb (113 Nm) .
12.
Lower the vehicle slowly until the tire touches the ground. Then, with the wheel nut wrench, tighten
the wheel nuts securely in the sequence illustrated (A
,B, C,D, E). Lower the vehicle completely. Always follow these instructions when using the jacking equipment or after changing a tire:
•

Always make sure that the spare tire and jacking equipment are properly secured after
use. Such items can become dangerous projectiles in an accident or sudden stop.
• When re-installing the spare tire under the vehicle after use, be sure to secure it with the tire stem facing down toward the ground. If the spare tire is improperly secured with the
tire stem facing up towards the bottom of the vehicle, there is an increased risk of
separating from the vehicle in the event of crash which may pose a hazard in traffic or
risk of injury to others.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious personal injury or death and/or
vehicle damage.
NOTE:
To help prevent squeaks and rattles, check that the tools are reinstalled and properly secured
in the stored place after use. 13. Remove the jack and securely store the flat tire, tools and jacking equipment in the vehicle. TURN by hand
