Nissan Murano (2024 year). Manual in english

TIRE DRESSINGS

NISSAN does not recommend the use of
tire dressings. Tire manufacturers apply a
coating to the tires to help reduce discolor-
ation of the rubber. If a tire dressing is ap-
plied to the tires, it may react with the coat-
ing and form a compound. This compound
may come off the tire while driving and
stain the vehicle paint.

If you choose to use a tire dressing, take the
following precautions:
• Use a water-based tire dressing. The

coating on the tire dissolves more easily
than with an oil-based tire dressing.

• Apply a light coat of tire dressing to help

prevent it from entering the tire tread/
grooves (where it would be difficult to
remove).

• Wipe off excess tire dressing using a dry

towel. Make sure the tire dressing is com-
pletely removed from the tire tread/
grooves.

• Allow the tire dressing to dry as recom-

mended by the tire dressing manufacturer.

Occasionally remove loose dust from the
interior trim, plastic parts and seats using a
vacuum cleaner or soft bristled brush. Wipe
the vinyl and leather (if so equipped) sur-
faces with a clean, soft cloth dampened in
mild soap solution, then wipe clean with a
dry, soft cloth.

Regular care and cleaning is required in
order to maintain the appearance of the
leather (if so equipped).

Before using any fabric protector, read the
manufacturer's recommendations. Some
fabric protectors contain chemicals that
may stain or bleach the seat material.

Use a cloth dampened only with water to
clean the meter and gauge lens.

WARNING

•

Do not use wax or silicone based
products in the interior of the vehicle.
Doing so may cause damage to inte-
rior

parts,

electrical

devices,

electronics.

•

Do not use water or acidic cleaners
(hot steam cleaners) on the seat. This
can damage the seat or occupant
classification sensor. This can also
affect the operation of the air bag
system and result in serious personal
injury.

CAUTION

•

Never use benzine, thinner or any
similar material.

•

Small dirt particles can be abrasive
and damaging to leather surfaces
and should be removed promptly.
Do not use saddle soap, car waxes,
polishes, oils, cleaning fluids, sol-
vents,

detergents

ammonia-

based cleaners as they may damage
the leather's natural finish.

•

Never use fabric protectors unless
recommended by the manufacturer.

•

Do not use glass or plastic cleaner on
meter or gauge lens covers. It may
damage the lens cover.

•

Never use chloride solutions for
cleaning aluminum decoratives (if so
equipped), damage may occur.

CLEANING INTERIOR

7-4

Appearance and care

AIR FRESHENERS

Most air fresheners use a solvent that
could affect the vehicle interior. If you use
an

air

freshener,

take

the

following

precautions:
• Hanging-type air fresheners can cause

permanent discoloration when they con-
tact vehicle interior surfaces. Place the air
freshener in a location that allows it to
hang free and not contact an interior
surface.

• Liquid-type air fresheners typically clip on

the vents. These products can cause im-
mediate

damage

and

discoloration

when spilled on interior surfaces.

Carefully read and follow the manufactur-
er's instructions before using the air
fresheners.

POWER MOONROOF (if so
equipped)

The sunshade is made from a tricot
material.

CAUTION

To help prevent damaging the moon-
roof while cleaning:

•

Do not rub the material with a cloth.
Doing so can damage the surface of
the material or cause a stain to
spread.

•

Never use benzine, thinner or any
similar chemical to clean the sun-
shade. This may discolor the moon-
roof and damage the surface.

•

Clean water based stains by patting
the surface with a clean soft cloth
dampened in warm water. Press a
clean dry cloth onto the surface to
remove as much dampness as pos-
sible and then let air dry.

•

Clean oil based stains by patting the
surface with a clean soft cloth damp-
ened in warm water. Press a clean dry
cloth onto the surface to remove as
much dampness as possible and
then let air dry.

FLOOR MATS (if so equipped)

WARNING

To avoid potential pedal interference
that may result in a collision, injury or
death:

•

NEVER place a floor mat on top of
another floor mat in the driver front
position or install them upside down
or backwards.

•

Use only Genuine NISSAN floor mats,
or equivalent floor mats, that are
specifically designed for use in your
vehicle model and model year.

LAI2096

Appearance and care

7-5

•

Properly position the mats in the
floorwell using the floor mat posi-
tioning hook. For additional informa-
tion, see "Floor mat installation"
(P. 7-6).

•

Make sure the floor mat does not in-
terfere with pedal operation.

•

Periodically check the floor mats to
make sure they are properly installed.

•

After cleaning the vehicle interior,
check the floor mats to make sure
they are properly installed.

The use of Genuine NISSAN floor mats can
extend the life of your vehicle carpet and
make it easier to clean the interior. Mats
should be maintained with regular clean-
ing and replaced if they become exces-
sively worn.

Floor mat installation

Your vehicle is equipped with floor mat po-
sitioning hook(s). The number and shape of
the floor mat positioning hooks for each
seating position varies depending on the
vehicle.

When installing Genuine NISSAN floor mats,
follow the installation instructions provided
with the mat and the following:

1. With the ignition switch in the OFF posi-

tion, the shift lever in P (Park) position
and with the parking brake fully applied,
position the floor mat in the floorwell so
that the floor mat grommet holes are
aligned with the hook(s).

2. Secure the grommet holes into the

hook(s) and ensure that the floor mat is
properly positioned.

3. Make sure the floor mat does not inter-

fere with pedal operation. With the igni-
tion switch still in the OFF position, the
shift lever in the P (Park) position and
with the parking brake applied, fully ap-
ply and release all pedals. The floor mat
must not interfere with pedal operation
or prevent the pedal from returning to
its normal position.

It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for details about installing the floor
mats in your vehicle.

Appearance and care

SEAT BELTS

The seat belts can be cleaned by wiping
them with a sponge dampened in a mild
soap solution. Allow the belts to dry com-
pletely in the shade before using them. For
additional information, see “Seat belt main-
tenance” (P. 1-23).

WARNING

Do not allow wet seat belts to roll up in
the retractor. NEVER use bleach, dye or
chemical solvents to clean the seat
belts, since these materials may se-
verely weaken the seat belt webbing.

CLEANING THE SEAT TRACKS

CAUTION

Periodically clean the seat tracks to
prevent reduction of ability to move the
seats.

Clean periodically with a high-powered
vacuum cleaner. Dirt and debris may re-
duce the ability to adjust the seat. A wet
cleansing agent may be used if necessary.

MOST COMMON FACTORS
CONTRIBUTING TO VEHICLE
CORROSION

Most vehicle corrosion is caused by:
• The accumulation of moisture-retaining

dirt and debris in body panel sections,
cavities, and other areas.

• Damage to paint and other protective

coatings caused by gravel and stone
chips or minor traffic collisions.

ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS
INFLUENCE THE RATE OF
CORROSION

Moisture

Accumulation of sand, dirt and water on
the vehicle body underside can accelerate
corrosion. Wet floor coverings will not dry
completely inside the vehicle and should
be removed for drying to avoid floor panel
corrosion.

Relative humidity

Corrosion will be accelerated in areas of
high relative humidity, especially those ar-
eas where the temperatures stay above
freezing and where atmospheric pollution
exists and road salt is used.

Temperature

High temperatures accelerate the rate of
corrosion to those parts which are not well
ventilated.

Air pollution

Industrial pollution, the presence of salt in
the air in coastal areas, or heavy road salt
use accelerates the corrosion process.
Road salt also accelerates the disintegra-
tion of paint surfaces.

PROTECT YOUR VEHICLE FROM
CORROSION

• Wash and wax your vehicle often to keep

the vehicle clean.

• Always check for minor damage to the

paint and repair it as soon as possible.

• Keep drain holes at the bottom of the

doors open to avoid water accumulation.

• Check the underbody for accumulation

of sand, dirt or salt. If present, wash with
water as soon as possible.

CORROSION PROTECTION

Appearance and care

7-7

CAUTION

•

NEVER remove dirt, sand or other de-
bris from the passenger compart-
ment by washing it out with a hose.
Remove dirt with a vacuum cleaner
or broom.

•

Never allow water or other liquids to
come in contact with electronic com-
ponents inside the vehicle as this
may damage them.

Chemicals used for road surface de-icing
are extremely corrosive. They accelerate
corrosion and deterioration of underbody
components such as the exhaust system,
fuel and brake lines, brake cables, floor pan
and fenders.

winter,

the

underbody

must

cleaned periodically.

For additional protection against rust and
corrosion, which may be required in some
areas, it is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer.

7-8

Appearance and care

When performing any inspection or main-
tenance work on your vehicle, always take
care to prevent serious accidental injury to
yourself or damage to the vehicle. The fol-
lowing are general precautions which
should be closely observed.

WARNING

•

Park the vehicle on a level surface,
apply the parking brake securely and
block the wheels to prevent the ve-
hicle from moving. Move the shift le-
ver to P (Park).

•

Be sure the ignition switch is in the
OFF or LOCK position when perform-
ing any parts replacement or repairs.

•

If you must work with the engine run-
ning, keep your hands, clothing, hair
and tools away from moving fans,
belts and any other moving parts.

•

It is advisable to secure or remove
any loose clothing and remove any
jewelry, such as rings, watches, etc.
before working on your vehicle.

•

Always wear eye protection when-
ever you work on your vehicle.

•

Your vehicle is equipped with an
automatic engine cooling fan. It
may come on at any time without

warning, even if the ignition switch is
in the OFF position and the engine is
not running. To avoid injury, always
disconnect

the

negative

battery

cable before working near the fan.

•

If you must run the engine in an en-
closed space such as a garage, be
sure there is proper ventilation for
exhaust gases to escape.

•

Never get under the vehicle while it is
supported only by a jack. If it is nec-
essary to work under the vehicle,
support it with safety stands.

•

Keep smoking materials, flame and
sparks away from the fuel tank and
battery.

•

Because the fuel lines on gasoline
engine models are under high pres-
sure even when the engine is off,
it is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for service of the fuel
filter or fuel lines.

CAUTION

•

Do not work under the hood while
the engine is hot. Turn the engine off
and wait until it cools down.

•

Avoid contact with used engine oil
and coolant. Improperly disposed
engine oil, engine coolant and/or
other vehicle fluids can damage the
environment. Always conform to lo-
cal regulations for disposal of vehicle
fluid.

•

Never leave the engine or Continu-
ously Variable Transmission (CVT) re-
lated component harnesses discon-
nected while the ignition switch is in
the ON position.

•

Never connect or disconnect the bat-
tery or any transistorized compo-
nent while the ignition switch is in
the ON position.

This “Do-it-yourself ” section gives instruc-
tions regarding only those items which are
relatively easy for an owner to perform.

TIRE PRESSURE

Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)

WARNING

Radio waves could adversely af-
fect electric medical equipment.
Those who use a pacemaker
should contact the electric medi-
cal equipment manufacturer for
the possible influences before
use.

This vehicle is equipped with the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
It monitors tire pressure of all tires
except the spare. When the low tire
pressure warning light is lit and
the “Tire Pressure Low - Add Air”
warning appears in the vehicle infor-
mation display, one or more of your
tires is significantly under-inflated.
If equipped, the system also displays

pressure of all tires (except the spare
tire) on the display screen by send-
ing a signal from a sensor that is
installed in each wheel.

The TPMS will activate only when the
vehicle is driven at speeds above
16 mph (25 km/h). Also, this system
may not detect a sudden drop in tire
pressure (for example a flat tire while
driving).

For additional information, see “Low
tire pressure warning light” (P. 2-13),
“Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)” (P. 5-5) and ““Flat tire” (P. 6-3).

Tire inflation pressure

Check the tire pressures (including
the spare) often and always prior to
long distance trips. The recom-
mended tire pressure specifications
are shown on the F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S.
certification label or the Tire and
Loading Information label under the
“Cold Tire Pressure” heading. The Tire

and Loading Information label is af-
fixed to the driver side center pillar.
Tire pressures should be checked
regularly because:

• Most tires naturally lose air over

time.

• Tires can lose air suddenly when

driven over potholes or other ob-
jects or if the vehicle strikes a curb
while parking.

The

tire

pressures

should

checked when the tires are cold. The
tires are considered COLD after the
vehicle has been parked for 3 or
more hours, or driven less than 1 mile
(1.6 km) at moderate speeds.

The TPMS with Easy-Fill Tire Alert
provides visual and audible signals
outside the vehicle for inflating tires
to the recommended COLD tire
pressure. For additional information,
see “TPMS with Easy-Fill Tire Alert”
(P. 5-8).
