If safety is your top priority when shopping for a vehicle, your local Nissan dealer should be your first stop. With six features included in the Nissan Safety Shield 360 tech package and many additional Nissan safety features available, you can drive with confidence. more Nissan Safety Shield 360 Automatic Emergency Braking With Pedestrian Detection No matter how vigilant you are, you can still be caught off-guard by things beyond your control, such as a pedestrian stepping out from behind a parked car or the driver in front of you slamming on the brakes. In those situations, the system will deliver audio and visual alerts and apply the brakes if needed. Blind Spot Warning When you're trying to change lanes in rush-hour traffic, the Blind Spot Warning system monitors what's going on around you. If you activate your turn signal when there's a car in your blind spot, you'll hear a warning tone. Lane Departure Warning Your Nissan's sensors detect lane markings and warn you if you drift across them without meaning to. The warning only activates when you cross lane markings without signaling, so turning and merging intentionally won't cause false alarms. Rear Cross Traffic Alert Crowded parking lots and narrow city streets don't always provide optimal visibility for backing out. Rear Cross Traffic Alert helps you back out safely by monitoring traffic from both sides and alerting you when another vehicle is approaching. Rear Automatic Braking When you're backing into a parking spot or turning around in a narrow driveway, Rear Automatic Braking helps you avoid hitting objects behind you. If a collision is imminent, the system applies the brakes automatically to prevent the collision or reduce the damage it causes. High Beam Assist High beams are essential for nighttime driving, but if you forget to turn them off when another car approaches, they can be disruptive and dangerous to other drivers. High Beam Assist detects oncoming vehicles and switches to low beams automatically. Available Safety Technology Intelligent Forward Collision Warning You can't always predict what other drivers will do, but Intelligent Forward Collision Warning can help you react faster to sudden changes in traffic flow. It monitors two cars ahead of you and keeps track of speed and following distance, warning you to decrease your speed if the vehicles in front of you suddenly slow down. Intelligent Intervention Avoid a collision with Intelligent Blind Spot and Lane Intervention systems. These features work alongside the Blind Spot and Lane Departure Warning systems, applying the brakes to correct your course if the audible warning is not enough. Intelligent Driver Alertness Whether you're on a long road trip or just getting off the night shift, Intelligent Driver Alertness helps prevent drowsy driving. By monitoring your steering behavior, the system can detect when you're drowsy or inattentive and let you know it's time for a break.
