#31 of 2175 shutting down the engine when refueling by barryq1 Apr 15, 2003 (2:53 am)
re: shutting down is harder than it seems....for those who may lack english comprehension it refers to the mental not physical aspect of shutting down the engine.
#32 of 2175 gassing up by steve_ HOST Apr 15, 2003 (9:38 am)
It's illegal in most (all?) states to leave the engine running while refueling. It's definitely not a safe practice.   It's also not a safe practice to hop out, start filling up, and then get back in the car - it's rare, but there have been a couple of instances where static created by sliding in or out of the car has ignited the gas fumes.   I guess everyone knows not to fill up the lawnmower gas can in the car too? (put it on the ground first).   Steve, Host
#33 of 2175 Dang now I know why I never want to shut off my car by cb70 Apr 16, 2003 (8:47 am)
when I get to work. I have a mental problem with that! I wonder if I can get disability or at least some time off to compensate for this malady?
#34 of 2175 M. P. G., yet another good reason to shut it off by dweiser Apr 16, 2003 (9:39 am)
In addition to all the other good reasons (like it's the law and your own safety when refueling.), when your vehicle is stopped or parked, as in your driveway, and the engine is running, your gas mileage is ZERO M.P.G.
#35 of 2175 beating the dead horse re: engine running by gust334 Apr 16, 2003 (10:18 am)
If a road hazard is unavoidable, prior to the Murano I would find a safe place to pull over and shut off the car. If that place happened to be roadside I also activate the hazard indicator.   Now with the Murano, I keep going but I tap the tire pressure monitor button occasionally for the next couple of miles to see if the pressure is dropping. If it isn't dropping, I don't need to stop. I like this car!   I would think that somebody leaping out of a car yet leaving the engine running, so that they can put their head down under the vehicle to check the tires, is a wonderful candidate for a book I've seen called The Darwin Awards.   barryg1, I have no idea what you're trying to say about someone not having the mental capacity or English comprehension to shut down a vehicle. My thoughts are that if somebody doesn't have at least that capacity, I don't want them to have the privilege (e.g. driver's license) to be operating a motor vehicle on the same roads that my family and I are allowed to use.
#36 of 2175 engine running/door locks by barryq1 Apr 20, 2003 (1:25 am)
I dont think you people seem to get it...This all goes back to the original problem of locking yourself out of the Murano. I have a 2002 volvo s60 and it is impossible to lock yourself out of the car when the engine is running. The Murano is not that forgiving. The Murano makes you think and if you make just one mistake you will have a lot of grief. I was merely giving an example when I said you hit a bottle or some object and the first thing you would do is swing open the door and just outside to see the problem.This is when you get in trouble.   PS.... the local dealership reports 8 problems like the one I mentioned.

#39 of 2175 MURANO LOCK OUTS, listen to your lazy selves! by zaurl Apr 21, 2003 (9:36 am)
How lazy can you people be.....??? First of all, Nissan did not foget to include this feature, it was most probably done on purpose for saftey reasons, particularly at gas stations based on incedents that caused fires in the past when people left their engines running while puming gas. All you have to do is open the window open before you come out of the car, so you can open the door from the outside if anything - you dont even have to hold the button anymore to open or close the window....remember?   This should be the last thing to be considered a problem.
#40 of 2175 Lock-outs by div2 Apr 21, 2003 (9:47 am)
"The Murano makes you think and if you make just one mistake you will have a lot of grief." Well, Nissan, get your act together! A car that requires conscious thought to operate? How unfair! Teach 'em a lesson barryq1- sue their sorry socks off. Thought should NEVER be required to operate a product in the US!!!
