Impressive Nissan safety technologies that stand out

May 31 2022,

There are a number of features on new vehicles today that significantly enhance safety behind the wheel. These technologies also improve peace of mind and tranquility when you are on the road, contributing to making every drive in your Nissan vehicle more enjoyable. We thought we would take a look at some of the safety technologies offered on new Nissan models in 2022.

Nissan ProPilot Assist

The Nissan ProPilot Assist system is a group of very advanced self-driving technology that can keep you centered in the middle of the lane by detecting lane markings. The system functions as long as you keep your hands on the wheel and it is particularly useful when driving in crowded environments. When you activate Nissan ProPilot Assist, your Nissan vehicle will stay in the middle of the lane and it will follow curves in the road. You actually feel the steering wheel turning underneath your hands. This system not only improves comfort and safety on the road, it also gives you exceptional peace of mind.

Here are a few other driver assistance technologies worth knowing about.

Intelligent Cruise Control with Full Speed Range and Hold

This adaptive cruise control is one of the most appreciated driver assistance systems. Nissan’s ICC system can maintain a set distance between you and the vehicle ahead on the highway and you can even choose how much distance you want to keep. The system will automatically brake or slow down to keep that distance. Your Nissan vehicle can even come to a complete stop and even start up again when traffic resumes.

Intelligent Automatic Braking

The forward collision system with automatic braking from Nissan called Intelligent Automatic Braking is perfect for the city or on the highway. This modern system can detect cars as well as pedestrians and can intervene should a collision be detected. If you fail to react, the system can apply the brakes automatically to prevent contact or minimize it.

Intelligent Lane Intervention

This system scans the lines on the road and can warn you when you are about to cross into the other lane. This can be particularly useful on the highway or in the city where distractions can occur. Should you fail to react, the system will intervene to keep you in the centre of your lane and prevent possible accidents.

How to Protect Your Car Interior From Sun Damage

Vancouver has a reputation for rain that quietly costs people money. Because we spend eight months under cloud, nobody here thinks of sun damage as a local problem, so nobody prepares for the four months when it absolutely is. Then a vehicle spends three summers parked outside facing south, and the dash top develops a chalky haze, the driver's seat bolster cracks, and the infotainment screen... Read more

Car Air Conditioning Not Cold? Here Is What It Means

Air conditioning fails in a specific and annoying way. It does not stop working. It gets a little less cold each summer, so gradually that you adapt without noticing, until one June afternoon on Highway 1 you realize the vents are blowing something closer to room temperature. Because the decline is gradual, most people conclude the system is just old. Sometimes it is. More often the symptom is... Read more
