Safety is the number one factor on the minds of most drivers when choosing a new car. With a modern Nissan, you’re well-protected and assisted at all times by the comprehensive Safety Shield 360 suite. Let’s take a look at the collection of advanced safety features included in Safety Shield 360. You can learn more about each one at your nearest Nissan dealership and see how they work first-hand on the road.
5 Safety Features You’ll Find on Today’s Nissan Vehicles
High Beam Assist
Glare from the high-beam headlights of oncoming cars causes 12% to 15% of all car accidents after dark. If you forget to switch off your high beams when another car is approaching, you put both the other driver and yourself at risk. Modern Nissan cars take away this risk with the High Beam Assist feature, which reliably detects oncoming cars and lowers your high beams until the car has passed.
Automatic Emergency Braking
Rear-end collisions are another serious danger for all drivers, causing 600,000 road accident injuries each year. With Nissan’s state-of-the-art Automatic Emergency Braking system, your car mitigates the risk of rear-enders by noticing as soon as the car in front slows or stops and alerting you clearly. If you don’t immediately take evasive action, your car will then apply the brakes for you to avoid or reduce an impact.
Pedestrian Detection
Over 7,000 pedestrians are killed in road accidents each year in the US. When a pedestrian wanders into the road, they also put you at risk of swerving and hitting another car or obstacle. Fortunately, modern Nissan vehicles can also detect sudden collision threats caused by pedestrians on the road, and promptly activate the brakes to avoid them.
Blind Spot Warning
Drivers failing to notice vehicles in their blind spots results in over 800,000 accidents each year. To protect you from this danger, the Blind Spot Warning feature keeps a close eye on your blind spots at all times and sounds a warning chime whenever something appears in a blind spot, so you’re always aware of the risk.
Lane Departure Warning
Changing lanes accidentally or at the wrong moment is a serious threat that modern Nissan cars also mitigate with Lane Departure Warning. The feature detects if you’re inadvertently drifting into a neighboring lane. It then alerts you of the danger and even helps you get back into the center of your lane.
