Nissan Murano: Starting and driving / Starting the engine

Nissan Murano 2015-2024 Owners Manual / Starting and driving / Starting the engine

  1. Apply the parking brake.
  2. Move the shift lever to P (Park) or N (Neutral). P (Park) is recommended. The starter is designed not to operate unless the shift lever is in either P (Park) or N (Neutral).
  3. Push the ignition switch to the ON position. Depress the brake pedal and push the ignition switch to start the engine.

    To start the engine immediately, push and release the ignition switch while depressing the brake pedal with the ignition switch in any position.

    • If the engine is very hard to start in extremely cold weather or when restarting, depress the accelerator pedal a little (approximately 1/3 to the floor) and while holding, crank the engine. Release the accelerator pedal when the engine starts.
    • If the engine is very hard to start because it is flooded, depress the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and hold it. Push the ignition switch to the ON position to start cranking the engine. After 5 or 6 seconds, stop cranking by pushing the ignition switch to the LOCK position. After cranking the engine, release the accelerator pedal. Crank the engine with your foot off the accelerator pedal by depressing the brake pedal and pushing the ignition switch to start the engine. If the engine starts, but fails to run, repeat the above procedure.

    CAUTION

    Do not operate the starter for more than 15 seconds at a time. If the engine does not start, push the ignition switch to the OFF position and wait 10 seconds before cranking again, otherwise the starter could be damaged.

  4. Warm-up:

    Allow the engine to idle for at least 30 seconds after starting. Do not race the engine while warming it up. Drive at a moderate speed for a short distance first, especially in cold weather. In cold weather, keep the engine running for a minimum of 2 to 3 minutes before shutting it off. Starting and stopping the engine over a short period of time may make the vehicle more difficult to start.

  5. To stop the engine, move the shift lever into the P (Park) position and push the ignition switch to the OFF position.

NOTE:

Care should be taken to avoid situations that can lead to potential battery dischargeandpotential no-start conditions such as:

  1. Installation or extended use of electronic accessories that consume battery power when the engine is not running (phone chargers, GPS, DVD players, etc.).
  2. The vehicle is not driven regularly and/or only driven short distances

In these cases, the battery may need to be charged to maintain battery health.

REMOTE ENGINE START (if so equipped)

Vehicles started with the Remote Engine Start require the ignition switch to be placed in the ON position before the shift lever can be moved from the P (Park) position. To place the ignition switch in the ON position, follow these steps:

  1. Make sure that the Intelligent Key is on you.
  2. Apply the brake.
  3. Push the ignition switch once to theON position.
