1. About the Murano HYBRID
This
hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) uses two types of batteries. One is a 12-volt battery that is the same as
the battery in vehicles powered by internal combustion engines. The 12-volt battery is located in the front of
the vehicle on the left side of the engine compartment. The other is the high-voltage battery for the traction
motor which propels the vehicle. The high-voltage battery is located under the center console between the
driver’s and passenger’s seats with service plug access through the center console area storage bin.
When the high-voltage battery level is low, engine output is used to generate power from the traction motor
and charge the high-voltage battery. Additionally, the vehicle system can recharge the high-voltage battery
by converting driving force into electricity while the vehicle is decelerating or being driven downhill. This is
called regenerative charging.

2. Basic High-voltage System and 12-volt System Information
2-1
Battery Information
The Murano HYBRID utilizes two batteries in order to supply both high and low voltage.
2-1.1 12-Volt Battery • The Murano HYBRID contains a conventional lead-acid12-volt battery.
• The 12-volt battery is located in the front of the vehicle on the left side of the engine compartment.
• The 12-volt battery is charged by the high-voltage battery through the DC/DC converter. : Vehicle front
2-1.2
High-voltage Battery
• The Murano HYBRID contains a high-voltage battery.
• The high-voltage battery is mounted under the center console and enclosed in a metal case.
• The high-voltage battery stores approximately 144 volts DC.
• A vent hose is provided to exhaust gasses outside the vehicle, if necessary.
• Air for battery cooling is drawn in from the front of the center console, under the instrument panel, and is vented
into the RH side B-pillar with the use of a fan located under
the passenger seat.
The high-voltage battery supplies power to the following: • High-voltage harnesses
• DC/DC converter

2-4 High-voltage Safety Measures
Circuit insulation
The high-voltage positive (+) and negative (-) circuits are insulated
from the metal chassis.
Reducing the risk of electrocution The high-voltage components and harnesses have insulated cases or orange-colored coverings which provide insulation and easy
identification.
The high-voltage battery case is electrically connected to the vehicle
ground. This connection helps protect the vehicle occupants and
emergency responders from high-voltage electrical shock.
Identification The high-voltage components are labeled “WARNING” similar to label
shown below. All high-voltage harnesses are coated in orange.
2-4.1 Warning Labels
The following warning label is applied to the high-voltage inverter located in the engine compartment.
The following warning label is applied to the service plug access cover located inside the passenger
compartment center console. AAYIA0454ZZ

RAG–16

3-1.1 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Protective Wear Control
Perform
an inspection of the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) items before beginning work. Do not use
any damaged PPE items.
3-1.2 Daily Inspection
This inspection is performed before and after use. The worker who will be using the items should perform
the inspection and check for deterioration and damage. • Insulated rubber gloves should be inspected for scratches, holes and tears. (Visual check and airleakage test)
• Insulated safety boots should be inspected for holes, damage, nails, metal pieces, wear or other problems on the soles. (Visual check)
• Insulated rubber sheet should be inspected for tears. (Visual check)
3-1.3 Insulated Tools
When performing work at locations where high-voltage is applied (such as terminals) , use insulated tools
meeting 1,000V/300A specifications.
3-2 Indications the High-voltage System is ON
If the READY indicator is ON, the high-voltage system is active.
Before

disconnecting the 12-volt battery terminal, if necessary, lower the windows, unlock the doors, and
open the rear hatch as required. Once 12-volt battery is disconnected, power controls will not operate.
RAG–17

3-6 Vehicle Fire
• Always utilize appropriate full Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and self-contained
breathing apparatus during fire fighting operations. Smoke from a Murano HYBRID
vehicle fire is similar to smoke from a conventional vehicle fire.
• In the case of extinguishing a fire with water, large amounts of water from a fire hydrant (if possible) must be used. DO NOT extinguish fire with a small amount of water. In the event of a small fire, a Type ABC fire extinguisher may be used for an electrical fire
caused

by wiring harnesses, electrical components, etc. or oil fire.
In case of vehicle fire, contact fire department immediately and extinguish the fire if possible. If you must
walk away from the vehicle, notify an appropriate responder or a rescue person of the fact that the vehicle is
a hybrid vehicle that contains a high-voltage system and warn all others.
3-7 High-voltage Battery Damage and Fluid Leaks The high-voltage battery contains electrolyte solution. To avoid exposure to electrolyte
solution

and serious personal injury, always wear appropriate solvent resistant Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) and read the following precautions:
• Electrolyte solution is a skin irritant.
• Electrolyte solution is an eye irritant – If contact with eyes, rinse with plenty of water and see a doctor immediately.
• If electrolyte leak occurs, wear appropriate solvent resistant PPE and use a dry cloth to clean up the spilled electrolyte. Be sure to adequately ventilate the area.
• Electrolyte solution is highly flammable.
• Electrolyte liquid or fumes that have come into contact with water vapors in the air will create an oxidized substance. This substance may irritate skin and eyes. In these cases,
rinse with plenty of water and see a doctor immediately.
• Electrolyte fumes (when inhaled) can cause respiratory irritation and acute intoxication. Move to fresh air and wash mouth with water. See a doctor immediately.
In cases of battery case breach or electrolyte leakage, contact the fire department immediately. If you must
walk away from the vehicle, notify an appropriate responder of the fact that the vehicle is a hybrid vehicle
and contains a high-voltage system and warn all others.
