Nissan Announces New Safety Technology Coming to Nissan Vehicles

St. Charles Nissan is honored to announce that Nissan has developed new safety features that will help to avoid collisions as well as better protect passengers if one occurs. The latest technology by Nissan utilizes vehicle-mounted cameras and will help reduce the number of fatalities and serious injuries that occur on the roads today.

Nissan’s “safety shield” concept spurned the new technology. In order to help better protect drivers and passengers, the new features help to discover dangerous situations before they occur in hopes to avoid them completely or minimize damage if one does occur.

Nissan’s Acceleration Suppression for Pedal Misapplication feature is a great new safety addition that helps to avoid careless mistakes. The sensors can also pick up moving objects via sonar to discover people and other obstructions around the car. If an object is found, the brakes will automatically be applied to avoid or lessen the effects of a collision.

Nissan’s multi-sensing system with rear camera is another great safety enhancement to protect drivers and those around them. The new camera system is able to detect other cars, pedestrians, and moving objects behind and to the side of the vehicle. Finally, the moving object detection feature helps when drivers are in reverse to pick up pedestrians and objects that the driver is unable to see.

The third major safety element for new Nissan safety features is the Predictive Forward Collision Warning System. With the new system, Nissan hopes to reduce the number of pileup accidents that occur. With a sensor built in the front of the Nissan vehicle, the distance between the vehicle ahead can be determined as well as velocity. The system can then determine if a decrease of speed is needed to avoid an accident with the car ahead. Drivers receive a visual and audio alert as well as the tightening of the seat belts.

Nissan developed these new safety measures to protect everyone in Nissan vehicles and around them. Nissan plans to begin implementing the new safety innovation in vehicles beginning in 2012.
