Nissan Murano: Driving the vehicle / Starting the vehicle

Nissan Murano (Z52) 2015-2024 Owners Manual / Starting and driving / Driving the vehicle / Starting the vehicle

After starting the engine, fully depress the foot brake pedal before moving the shift lever out of the P (Park) position. This Continuously Variable Transmission is designed so that the foot brake pedal must be depressed before shifting fromP(Park) to any driving position while the ignition switch is in the ON position. The shift lever cannot be moved out of the P (Park) position and into any of the other positions if the ignition switch is placed in the LOCK, OFF or ACC position.
Keep the foot brake pedal depressed and move the shift lever to a driving position.
Release the parking brake and foot brake pedal, and then gradually start the vehicle in motion.

WARNING

Do not depress the accelerator pedal while shifting from P (Park) or N (Neutral) to R (Reverse), D (Drive), or M (Manual shift mode) position. Always depress the brake pedal until shifting is completed. Failure to do so could cause you to lose control and have an accident.
Cold engine idle speed is high, so use caution when shifting into a forward or reverse gear before the engine has warmed up.
Never shift to either the P (Park) or R (Reverse) position while the vehicle is moving forward and P (Park) or D (Drive) position while the vehicle is reversing. This could cause an accident or damage the transmission.
Do not downshift abruptly on slippery roads. This may cause a loss of control.

CAUTION

To avoid possible damage to your vehicle, when stopping the vehicle on an uphill grade,donot hold the vehicle by depressing the accelerator pedal. The foot brake should be used for this purpose.
Except in an emergency, do not shift to the N (Neutral) position while driving. Coasting with the transmission in the N (Neutral) position may cause serious damage to the transmission.
