The Nissan Safety Shield® 360 is an advanced all-around protection system that continually monitors the road using cameras, radar, and sonar. The Safety Shield® 360 comprises a suite of individual safety features. Here are the six primary features keeping you safe when you’re driving your new Nissan around Rockville, MD and beyond.
Blind Spot Warning
Every time another vehicle of any size enters one of your blind spots, your Nissan alerts you with a chime and an indicator both on the dashboard and the corresponding door. This way, you can change lanes with confidence, without fear that you might hit an unseen car or motorcyclist.
Lane Departure Warning
When drivers are tired or distracted, they sometimes veer towards another lane. This dangerous action is picked up by your Nissan, which constantly monitors the lane markers. You’ll then be alerted with a chime and a warning indicator.
Automatic Emergency Braking
Your Nissan also monitors the road ahead, alert for any suddenly slowing vehicle or a pedestrian or cyclist that veers into your path. If any such collision threat arises, your car gives you a clear audio and visual alert. If you fail to take immediate preventative action, Automatic Emergency Braking will activate to avoid the collision or at least mitigate the impact.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert
Backing out of tight parking spots or driveways is made far safer with Rear Cross Traffic Alert, which senses approaching vehicles behind your car. If you’re ever backing up and a car is approaching, your Nissan will let you know it’s there.
Rear Automatic Braking
Reversing always poses a danger of hitting an object you cannot see. With Rear Automatic Braking, you needn’t worry about reversing into tight parking spaces. Your car will detect an imminent impact with a wall, another vehicle, a person, or another small object. It will then apply the brakes to help prevent a collision.
High Beam Assist
Driving at night poses a greater danger to drivers than in the daytime. Many road accidents happen at night, despite there being fewer vehicles on the road. One of the biggest risk factors at night is visibility. To reduce this risk, car headlights are more powerful than ever before, but this extreme brightness carries its own risks.
Drivers often underestimate how dangerous it is to shine high-beam headlights into the eyes of approaching drivers. The sudden glare and reduced vision can lead to sudden errors in judgment and accidents. This threat is greatly reduced in modern Nissan models, which use High Beam Assist to detect oncoming vehicles after dark. The feature lowers the intensity of your headlights as each oncoming car passes and turns the brightness back up once the road is clear again.
