To start the car when the Murano key fob battery is dead: Slide open the end of the key fob to remove the mechanical key, then insert it into the keyhole under the steering wheel to start the vehicle. The battery replacement method is as follows: 1. Use a flathead screwdriver to pry open the key fob cover; 2. Remove the old battery and replace it with a new one; 3. Close the key fob cover. Taking the 2021 Murano as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4897mm, width 1908mm, height 1691mm, torque 2830nm, fuel tank capacity 72l, trunk capacity 535l, minimum ground clearance 185mm, and curb weight 1656kg.

I also encountered a dead key fob situation last time. The Murano's remote key has a small mechanism on the side—press the button to extract the mechanical key. Simply insert the mechanical key into the keyhole on the driver's door handle to unlock the car. To start the vehicle, place the key fob against the push-button start. The dashboard will detect the key chip and display a green light. At this point, press the start button while holding the brake pedal to ignite the engine. After a full vehicle power cycle, the anti-theft light might blink, which is normal. Remember to promptly purchase a CR2032 coin cell battery from a convenience store and replace it after completing these steps.

What Do Zigzag Road Markings Mean?

Zigzag road markings indicate lane diversion for vehicles. Here are the relevant details: 1. Function of zigzag road markings: Zigzag road markings are also known as variable direction lane markings. These are primarily implemented during peak hours when traffic is concentrated, but lanes are insufficient or when there is alternating heavy traffic flow during morning and evening rush hours. 2. Driving rules for variable direction lanes: When encountering such lanes, drivers should follow the variable lane indicators. There are time restrictions—drivers cannot freely choose the direction of travel at any time. These markings appear as zigzag white solid lines between lanes in variable direction lanes. 3. Difference between variable direction lanes and regular lanes: These lanes offer flexibility unlike conventional lane markings. Regular lanes strictly follow their designated directions (straight or turn), whereas variable direction lanes are typically installed in areas with complex traffic conditions.

What Causes the Windows to Open Automatically?

Here are the specific reasons why car windows may open automatically: 1. Holding the unlock button: If all four windows automatically lower after locking the car, it may be due to the key fob's one-touch window open/close feature. Typically, holding the unlock button triggers this function. Accidentally pressing and holding the unlock button can unlock the doors and automatically open all four windows. If the doors remain unopened within 30 seconds, the windows will automatically close and relock. 2. Signal interference: During the locking process, nearby signals on the same frequency band may cause all four windows to open automatically after locking. 3. Waterlogged sensors: Some vehicles are equipped with water immersion sensors. When water levels rise to a certain point, the vehicle's computer will automatically detect immersion and lower the windows.
