Nissan Murano: Rear Automatic Braking (RAB) (if so equipped) / RAB system limitations
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the RAB system. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions for proper
use of the RAB system could result in
serious injury or death.
- When the vehicle approaches an obstacle
while the accelerator or brake
pedal is depressed, the function may
not operate or the start of operation
may be delayed. The RAB system may
not operate or may not perform sufficiently
due to vehicle conditions, driving
conditions, the traffic environment,
the weather, road surface
conditions, etc. Do not wait for the
system to operate. Operate the brake
pedal by yourself as soon as
necessary.
- If it is necessary to override RAB operation,
strongly press the accelerator
pedal.
- Always check your surroundings and
turn to check what is behind you before
and while backing up. The RAB
system detects stationary objects behind
the vehicle.The RAB system does
not detect the following objects:
- Moving objects
- Low objects
- Narrow objects
- Wedge-shaped objects
- Objects close to the bumper (less
than approximately 1 ft [30 cm])
- Objects that suddenly appear
- Thin objects such as rope, wire,
chain, etc.
- The RAB system may not operate for
the following obstacles:
- Obstacles located high off the
ground
- Obstacles in a position offset from
your vehicle
- Obstacles, such as spongy materials
or snow, that have soft outer
surfaces and can easily absorb a
sound wave
- The RAB system may not operate in
the following conditions:
- There is rain, snow, ice, dirt, etc., attached
to the sonar sensors.
- A loud sound is heard in the area
around the vehicle.
- The surface of the obstacle is diagonal
to the rear of the vehicle.
- The RAB system may unintentionally
operate in the following conditions:
- There is overgrown grass in the
area around the vehicle.
- There is a structure (e.g., a wall, toll
gate equipment, a narrowtunnel, a
parking lot gate) near the side of
the vehicle.
- There are bumps, protrusions, or
manhole covers on the road
surface.
- The vehicle drives through a
draped flag or a curtain.
- There is an accumulation of snow
or ice behind the vehicle.
- An ultrasonic wave source, such as
another vehicle’s sonar, is near the
vehicle.
- Once the automatic brake control operates,
it does not operate again if the
vehicle approaches the same
obstacle.
- The automatic brake control can only
operate for a short period of time.
Therefore, the driver must depress
the brake pedal.
- In the following situations, the RAB
system may not operate properly or
may not function sufficiently:
- The vehicle is driven in bad
weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).
- The vehicle is driven on a steep hill.
- The vehicle’s posture is changed
(e.g., when driving over a bump).
- The vehicle is driven on a slippery
road.
- The vehicle is turned sharply by
turning the steering wheel fully.
- Snow chains are used.
- Wheels or tires other than NISSAN
recommended are used.
- The brakes are cold at low ambient
temperatures or immediately after
driving has started.
- The braking force becomes poor
due to wet brakes after driving
through a puddle or washing the
vehicle.
- Turn the RAB system off in the following
conditions to prevent the occurrence
of an unexpected accident resulting
from sudden system
operation:
- The vehicle is towed.
- The vehicle is carried on a flatbed
truck.
- The vehicle is on the chassis
dynamometer.
- The vehicle drives on an uneven
road surface.
- Suspension parts other than those
designated as Genuine NISSAN
parts are used. (If the vehicle
height or the vehicle body inclination
is changed, the system may
not detect an obstacle correctly.)
- Excessive noise (e.g., audio system
volume, an open vehicle window) will
interfere with the chime sound, and it
may not be heard.
Perform the following steps to turn the RAB
system on or off.
Press the button until
“Settings”
displays in the vehicle information display
and then press the OK button...
If the RAB system malfunctions, it will be
turned off automatically, and the RAB system
warning light will illuminate in the vehicle
information display...
Other information:
Park the vehicle on a level surface and
apply the parking brake.
Start the engine and let it idle until it
reaches operating temperature.
Turn off the engine. Wait more than
10 minutes for the oil to drain back
into the oil pan.
Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean...
Your vehicle may be equipped with an optional
trailer tow package. The trailer tow
package includes a receiver-type frame
mounted hitch. This hitch is rated for the
maximum towing capacity of this vehicle
when the proper towing equipment is
used...

LATCH system lower anchor locations -
bench seat
Your vehicle is equipped with special anchor
points that are used with LATCH system
compatible child restraints. This system
may also be referred to as the ISOFIX
or ISOFIX compatible system. With this system,
you do not have to use a vehicle seat
belt to secure the child restraint unless the
combined weight of the child and child restraint
exceeds 65 lbs. (29.5 kg). If the combined
weight of the child and child restraint
is greater than 65 lbs. (29.5 kg), use the vehicle’s
seat belt (not the lower anchors) to
install the child restraint. Be sure to follow
the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions
for installation.
