Nissan Murano: Do-it-yourself / Maintenance precautions
When performing any inspection or maintenance
work on your vehicle, always take
care to prevent serious accidental injury to
yourself or damage to the vehicle. The following
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 vehicle
from moving. Move the shift lever
to P (Park).
- Be sure the ignition switch is in the
OFF or LOCK position when performing
any parts replacement or repairs.
- If you must work with the engine running,
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 whenever
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 enclosed
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 necessary
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 pressure
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 local regulations for
disposal of vehicle fluid.
- Never leave the engine or Continuously
Variable Transmission (CVT) related
component harnesses disconnected
while the ignition switch is in
the ON position.
Never connect or disconnect the battery
or any transistorized component while
the ignition switch is in the ON position.
This “Do-it-yourself” section gives instructions
regarding only those items which are
relatively easy for an owner to perform.

available. For additional information, refer
to “Owner’s Manual/Service Manual order

difficulties or excessive emissions, and
could affect warranty coverage. If in doubt
about any servicing, it is recommended
that you have it done by a NISSAN dealer.

Your vehicle has two types of security systems:
Vehicle security system
NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System
The vehicle security system provides visual
and audible alarm signals if someone
opens the doors, liftgate or the hood when
the system is armed. It is not, however, a
motion detection type system that activates
when a vehicle is moved or when a
vibration occurs.
