Driving with a Family | Top Nissan Safety Features

Nov 5, 2015

Choosing which car you are going to put your family in is a big decision. You will ask yourself things such as how much room is there for passengers and cargo? Or what entertainment features come standard? But, the biggest question you will ask when you have a family is what features are going to keep my family safe? Here are some of the top Nissan safety features.

All Wheel Drive

Even the best drivers can be caught off guard by a quick change in the weather, which is why All Wheel Drive (AWD) is such a great feature to have. When the road gets slick from rain, sleet, and snow, your AWD kicks in and grabs hold of the road. Combine the AWD with the Anti-Lock Braking system, and you are sure to experience a safer drive when the weather is less than perfect.

Cameras

When rear-view cameras were first installed in cars, many people saw them as an unnecessary luxury. But, over time those same people have realized these cameras are life saving. Nissan has taken that a step further and offers cameras in the rear, front, and sides, providing drivers with a clear image of everything around their car. With views like this, imagine how safe your family will be.

Lane Departure and Blind Spot Warnings

Not only do the cameras work to show you your surroundings, but they coordinate with the Lane Departure and Blind Sport Warning systems. Now as you drive down the road, you will be alerted by visual and audio alerts notifying you if you are veering out of your lane, or if there is another vehicle or object in your blind spot. These fantastic warning systems will keep your family safe.

LATCH System

There is a time in your life as a family that you have car seats and booster seats. These safety seats are a necessity, but their constant change in design and added security features can make it difficult to install in certain cars. That is why Nissan has installed their LATCH system, also known as the Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children. This advanced system easily allows you to install and secure your child’s safety seat without the additional use of seat belts or a locking chip.

Advanced Air Bag System

No one wants to be in an accident; however, if you are, relax because your Nissan has features to help keep you safe. Every Nissan includes multiple front, side, and rear airbags that will protect every passenger in your vehicle. Additionally, the front airbags are part of the Advanced Air Bag System that incorporates seat belt sensors and an occupant classification system. When in an accident these systems work together to determine the size of the passenger, the severity of the accident, and seat belt usage when deciding the right amount of airbag inflation and protection. Now, that is safety every family needs.
When safety is your number one priority, choose a Nissan and have peace of mind that your family will be protected wherever they travel.
