Nissan Safety Features: Protecting You on the Road

Nissan has always prioritized driving safety. Every Nissan is equipped with Nissan Safety Shield 360, an advanced driver assistance system that actively works to protect you and your passengers. We’re going to explore some of these Nissan safety features and learn more about how they protect you.

Automatic Emergency Braking w/Pedestrian Detection

This system uses a forward-facing camera and radar to identify pedestrians who might move in front of your vehicle. If a pedestrian appears, the radar gauges their speed and distance from your Nissan. The system uses this information to compute the likelihood of a collision. It provides audio and visual warnings so you can brake or take evasive action to prevent an accident.

If the pedestrian is too close to your Nissan and you haven’t hit the brakes, automatic emergency braking is immediately applied. Hard braking can prevent most accidents and reduce damage caused by those that can’t be avoided.

Lane Departure Warning

Many drivers have drifted out of their lane without realizing it, and it’s easy to do, especially if you’re distracted or tired. Crossing the lane lines can be dangerous if you’re not watching the neighboring lane, as another vehicle traveling at speed might not brake in time and hit your Nissan. This system aims to prevent that from happening.

A camera identifies the lane marking lines, and this system works to keep you within the lines. If your wheels cross the lines without you actively steering in that direction, you’ll hear a warning sound so you can take action. The system can also identify road edge lines and warn that you’re about to leave the road.

Blind Spot Warning

This system uses sensors located in the rear blind spots. If a vehicle enters one of these spots, the front and rear turning lights on that side will flash on and off, and an icon of a car in a triangle appears on the side mirror. This gives you enough time to steer away from the vehicle. The flashing side lights also warn the other driver to help prevent a collision.

High Beam Assist

Using high beams makes nighttime driving much safer. Unfortunately, these bright lights can also easily temporarily blind a driver headed in your direction.

Sensors in the lights can detect the headlights of an approaching vehicle, and this feature immediately switches to low beams. Once the vehicle has left the sensor range, your lights revert to high beams.

These are just a few safety systems Nissan has developed to protect you. If you’d like to learn more, contact us today at Coughlin Nissan of Heath in Heath, OH.
