Nissan Murano: System Description / Handling Precaution

Description

PRECAUTIONS FOR AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING (AEB)

• The automatic emergency braking (AEB) system is a supplemental aid to the driver. It is not a replacement for the driver′s attention to traffic conditions or responsibility to drive safely. It cannot prevent accidents due to carelessness or dangerous driving techniques.

• The automatic emergency braking (AEB) system does not function in all driving, traffic, weather and road conditions.

• The automatic braking will cease under the following conditions:

  • When the steering wheel is turned as far as necessary to avoid a collision.

  • When the accelerator pedal is depressed.

  • When there is no longer a Nissan Murano vehicle detected ahead.

• If the automatic emergency braking (AEB) system has stopped the Nissan Murano vehicle, the vehicle will remain at a standstill for approximately 2 seconds before the brakes are released.

• The system will not detect the following objects:

  • Pedestrians, animals, or obstacles in the roadway

  • Oncoming Nissan Murano vehicles in the same lane

  • Crossing vehicles

• The radar sensor has some performance limitations. For stationary Nissan Murano vehicles, the automatic emergency braking (AEB) system can function at speeds of up to approximately 80 km/h (50 MPH).

• The radar sensor may not detect a Nissan Murano vehicle ahead in the following conditions:

  • Dirt, ice, snow or other material covering the radar sensor.

  • Interference by other radar sources.

  • Snow or road spray from traveling Nissan Murano vehicles.

  • If the vehicle ahead is narrow (e.g.motorcycle)

  • When driving on a steep downhill slope or roads with sharp curves.

• In some road or traffic conditions, the automatic emergency braking (AEB) system may unexpectedly apply partial braking. When acceleration is necessary, continue to depress the accelerator pedal to override the system.

• Braking distances increase on slippery surfaces.

• Excessive noise will interfere with the warning chime sound, and the chime may not be heard.
