1. About the Murano HYBRID

This hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) uses two types of batteries. One is a 12-volt battery that is the same as the battery in vehicles powered by internal combustion engines. The 12-volt battery is located in the front of the vehicle on the left side of the engine compartment. The other is the high-voltage battery for the traction motor which propels the vehicle. The high-voltage battery is located under the center console between the driver’s and passenger’s seats with service plug access through the center console area storage bin.

When the high-voltage battery level is low, engine output is used to generate power from the traction motor and charge the high-voltage battery. Additionally, the vehicle system can recharge the high-voltage battery by converting driving force into electricity while the vehicle is decelerating or being driven downhill. This is called regenerative charging.

2. Basic High-voltage System and 12-volt System Information

2-1 Battery Information

The Murano HYBRID utilizes two batteries in order to supply both high and low voltage.

2-1.1 12-Volt Battery

• The Murano HYBRID contains a conventional lead-acid 12-volt battery.

• The 12-volt battery is located in the front of the vehicle on the left side of the engine compartment.

• The 12-volt battery is charged by the high-voltage battery through the DC/DC converter.

: Vehicle front

2-1.2 High-voltage Battery

• The Murano HYBRID contains a high-voltage battery.

• The high-voltage battery is mounted under the center console and enclosed in a metal case.

• The high-voltage battery stores approximately 144 volts DC.

• A vent hose is provided to exhaust gasses outside the vehicle, if necessary.

• Air for battery cooling is drawn in from the front of the center console, under the instrument panel, and is vented into the RH side B-pillar with the use of a fan located under the passenger seat.

The high-voltage battery supplies power to the following:

• High-voltage harnesses

• DC/DC converter

• Traction motor inverter

• Traction motor
