Nissan Murano: Blind Spot Warning (BSW) (if so equipped) / BSW system limitations
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the BSW system. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in serious
injury or death.
- The BSWsystem cannot detect all vehicles
under all conditions.
- The radar sensors may not be able to
detect and activate BSWwhen certain
objects are present such as:
- Pedestrian, bicycles, animals.
- Vehicles such as motorcycles, low
height vehicles, or high ground
clearance vehicles.
- Oncoming vehicles.
- Vehicles remaining in the detection
zone when you accelerate
from a stop.
- A vehicle merging into an adjacent
lane at a speed approximately the
same as your vehicle.
- A vehicle approaching rapidly from
behind.
- A vehicle which your vehicle overtakes
rapidly.
- A vehicle that passes through the
detection zone quickly.
- When overtaking several vehicles
in a row, the vehicles after the first
vehicle may not be detected if they
are traveling close together.
- The radar sensor’s detection zone is
designed based on a standard lane
width. When driving in a wider lane,
the radar sensors may not detect vehicles
in an adjacent lane. When driving
in a narrowlane, the radar sensors
may detect vehicles driving two lanes
away.
- The radar sensors are designed to ignore
most stationary objects; however,
objects such as guardrails, walls,
foliage and parked vehicles may occasionally
be detected. This is a normal
operation condition.
- The following conditions may reduce
the ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles:
- Severe weather
- Road spray
- Ice/frost/snow/dirt build-up on
the vehicle
- Do not attach stickers (including
transparent material), install accessories
or apply additional paint near the
radar sensors. These conditions may
reduce the ability of the radar to detect
other vehicles.
- Excessive noise (for example, audio
system volume, open vehicle window)
will interfere with the chime sound,
and it may not be heard.
Perform the following steps to enable or
disable the BSW system.

Other information:
Driver’s side
The knee air bag is located in the knee
bolster, on the driver’s and passenger’s
side. All of the information, cautions and
warnings in this manual apply and must
be followed. The knee air bag is designed
to inflate in higher severity frontal collisions,
although it may inflate if the forces in another
type of collision are similar to those of
a higher severity frontal impact...
WARNING
If the engine is not running or is
turned off while driving, the power assist
for the steering will not work.
Steering will be harder to operate.
When the power steering warning
light illuminates with the engine running,
there will be no power assist for
the steering...
