Vehicle information display warnings and indicators

Basic Information

The following messages may appear in your vehicle information display. These warnings and indicators are designed to give the driver quick, practical information about key operation, vehicle status, system availability, and situations that may require attention.

Place the key near the start switch

Place the key near the start switch warning in the Nissan Murano information display

This indicator appears when the battery of the Intelligent Key is low and when the Intelligent Key system and the vehicle are not communicating normally. In this situation, the Nissan Murano may need the Intelligent Key to be placed closer to the ignition switch so the system can recognize it properly.

If this appears, touch the ignition switch with the Intelligent Key while depressing the brake pedal. This helps the vehicle detect the key signal and continue the starting procedure when normal key communication is limited.

Key Battery Low

Key Battery Low message for the Intelligent Key

This indicator appears when the Intelligent Key battery is running out of power. The message is a reminder that the key battery should be replaced before the signal becomes too weak for normal operation.

If this indicator appears, replace the battery with a new one. Replacing it promptly helps maintain reliable locking, unlocking, and start-switch communication.

Key System Error See Owner's Manual

Key System Error warning shown in the vehicle information display

After the ignition switch is placed in the ON position, this warning appears for a period of time and then turns off. If it returns or remains active, the message should be treated as a sign that the Intelligent Key system needs attention.

The Key System Error message warns of a malfunction with the Intelligent Key system. Because this system is involved in vehicle access and starting, the warning should not be ignored.

If the warning appears while the engine is stopped, it may be impossible to start the engine. In that case, the vehicle may not recognize the key or may not complete the start authorization process.

If the warning appears while the engine is running, you can drive the vehicle. However, in these cases, have the system checked. It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service. Having the system inspected helps confirm whether the issue is related to the key, communication, or another part of the Intelligent Key system.

Key Not Detected

Key Not Detected warning in the Nissan Murano display

This warning appears when the Intelligent Key is left outside the vehicle with the ignition switch in the ON position. Make sure the Intelligent Key is inside the vehicle. The warning is especially useful when the key has been carried away by another person or placed outside the cabin while the vehicle is still on.

Brightness indicator

Instrument panel brightness adjustment indicator

This indicator shows the brightness adjustment of the instrument panel. It provides a visual reference while the driver changes the display illumination level for better visibility in different lighting conditions.

Caution Steep slope

Caution Steep slope warning for automatic brake hold

This indicator appears, and a chime sounds when the automatic brake hold function is activated while the vehicle is on a steep hill. Apply the foot brake to stop the vehicle moving. On a steep grade, the driver should be ready to control the brake pedal directly, because the message indicates that extra attention is needed to keep the Nissan Murano stationary.

Chassis Control System Error See Owner's Manual

This warning appears if the chassis control module detects a malfunction in the chassis control system. Have the system checked. It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service. Since chassis control functions are connected with vehicle stability and driving behavior, this warning should be inspected by qualified service personnel as soon as practical.

Check Rear Seat

When the system is enabled, this message appears when the vehicle comes to a complete stop, the vehicle is transitioned from the D (Drive) position to P (Park) position, and the driver exits the vehicle. This message alerts the driver, after a period of time, to check for items in the rear seats after the audible alert has been provided. The reminder is intended to draw attention to the rear seating area before the driver leaves the vehicle completely.

NOTE: This system is disabled until a driver enables it using the vehicle information display.

Check Rear Seat Alert is activated

When the system is enabled, this message appears when the Rear Door Alert system is active and can remind the driver to check the back seat. In the Nissan Murano, the message gives the driver options for handling the alert directly from the steering wheel controls.

  • Using the steering wheel switch, a driver can select "Dismiss Message" to clear the display for a period of time. If no selection is made, this message automatically turns off after a period of time. This temporarily removes the message from the display without changing the overall system setting.

  • Using the steering wheel switch, a driver can select "Disable Alert" to disable the horn alert for the remainder of the current trip. This selection affects the audible alert for that trip, rather than simply clearing the message from the screen.

WARNING

Selecting "Dismiss Message" during a stop within a trip temporarily dismisses the message for that stop without turning the system off. Alerts can be provided for other stops during the trip. Selecting "Disable Alert" turns off the Rear Door Alert system for the remainder of a trip and no audible alert will be provided. The driver should choose the option carefully, because one selection only clears the current message while the other changes alert behavior for the rest of the trip.

NOTE: This system is disabled until a driver enables it using the vehicle information display.

Door/liftgate Open

Door or liftgate open warning in the Nissan Murano vehicle information display

This warning appears when a door or the liftgate has been opened. It gives the driver a clear reminder to check the vehicle openings before driving away, especially if the warning appears after passengers have entered or exited the cabin.

  • When the wiper (HI) operates. Heavy rain or severe weather can reduce the camera’s ability to maintain a stable view of the lane ahead.

  • When lane markers in the traveling lane cannot be correctly detected for a period of time due to such items as a snow rut, reflection of light on a rainy day or several unclear lane markers are present. In these situations, the system may not have a dependable lane reference to follow.

If you want to use the Steering Assist system again, cancel the ProPILOT Assist system and set it again when lane markers are clearly visible, or push the Steering Assist switch once. The Nissan Murano can make Steering Assist available again when the road markings and system conditions are suitable.

Unavailable: Camera Temperature High

This message appears when the camera detects an interior temperature of more than 104ºF (40ºC). When the camera area becomes too hot, the related assistance functions may be unavailable until the temperature drops and the camera can operate normally again.

Unavailable Low Visibility

Unavailable Low Visibility warning for camera-based driving aids

This message may appear when the Steering Assist system is engaged. It means the system cannot rely on the front camera view because the windshield area or lighting conditions are preventing accurate detection.

Under the following condition, the Steering Assist system is automatically canceled:

  • The camera area of the windshield is fogged up or covered with dirt, water drops, ice, snow, etc. A clear windshield is necessary because the camera must be able to see the lane area ahead.

  • The camera received strong light, such as sunlight, high beam of an oncoming vehicle, etc. Strong glare can reduce the camera’s ability to identify lane markings correctly.

Unavailable Parking Brake is On

Unavailable Parking Brake is On message for ProPILOT Assist

This message may appear when the Pro- PILOT Assist system is engaged. It tells the driver that the system cannot continue operating while the electronic parking brake is applied.

Under the following condition, the ProPILOT Assist system is automatically canceled:

  • The electronic parking brake is applied.

The above system cannot be used when the electronic parking is activated. Release or manage the parking brake according to normal vehicle operation before attempting to use the related assistance function again.

Unavailable Seatbelt is Unfastened

Unavailable Seatbelt is Unfastened warning in the Nissan Murano information display

This message may appear when the Pro- PILOT Assist system is engaged. The system requires the driver’s seat belt to be fastened before the assisted driving function can remain active.

Under the following condition, the ProPILOT Assist system is automatically canceled:

  • When the driver's seat belt is not fastened

The above system cannot be used when the driver's seat belt is not fastened. Fastening the seat belt is part of the required operating conditions for this function.

Unavailable: Side Radar Obstruction

This message appears when the Blind Spot Warning (BSW), Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention (I-BSI), or Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) systems become unavailable because a radar blockage is detected. The affected side radar area should be checked for possible dirt, snow, ice, or other material that could prevent the system from monitoring nearby traffic properly.

Unavailable Slippery Road

Unavailable Slippery Road warning for driver assistance systems

This message may appear when the Pro- PILOT Assist system, Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention (I-BSI) or the Intelligent Lane Intervention (I-LI) system is engaged. It indicates that slippery road conditions or stability-related activity are limiting the availability of these assistance functions.

Under the following conditions, the Pro- PILOT Assist system, Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention (I-BSI) or the Intelligent Lane Intervention (I-LI) system is automatically canceled:

  • When the VDC system operates. This can happen when the vehicle is responding to reduced traction or stability-related conditions.

  • When a wheel slips. Wheel slip can prevent the system from maintaining the operating conditions needed for driver assistance support.

The above system cannot be used in some situations (VDC operates, wheel slip and VDC system is off.) In these conditions, the Nissan Murano driver should rely on normal steering, braking, and accelerator control until the road surface and system status allow the assistance features to become available again.
