Advanced Driver Assistance in Nissan Vehicles: Maximizing Safety

2024 Nissan Sentra | Vancouver, WA

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Nissan has always prioritized safety features and design, so it is no surprise that Nissan models consistently win awards from the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (IIHS) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The Nissan ADAS takes this even further, as this suite of safety features actively works to keep you safe. We want to tell you more about this system and its many features.

Nissan ADAS: Making Driving Safer

Nissan Safety Shield 360

ADAS stands for Advanced Driver Assistance System, and it's an onboard safety system designed to assist and protect you on the road. Safety Shield 360 includes six connected Nissan systems that utilize cameras, radar, and sensors to monitor a 360-degree space around your Nissan and warn you of potential issues. We'll now look at each feature in more depth.

Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection

This active system continually watches the space in front of your vehicle. It can detect any large object and compute its speed. If a vehicle, pedestrian, or animal moves in front of you and stops, it automatically applies emergency braking to slow and stop your Nissan.

Lane Departure Warning

Accidentally drifting into an adjacent lane when driving can be a recipe for disaster. Some drivers don't drive a Nissan, and their vehicles may not automatically stop in time to prevent hitting your vehicle. This feature sounds an alarm if your wheels cross the lane lines without you actively steering in that direction.

Blind Spot Warning

Blind spots are exceptionally difficult to monitor when you're watching your mirrors. Despite your best efforts, certain angles behind your vehicle are impossible to see without taking your eyes off the road. This feature takes that stress away. Sensors continually watch where you can't and provide instant audio and visual warnings of vehicles or pedestrians.

Rear Cross Traffic Alert

Backing up is much safer with this feature. Rear-watching sensors will identify any vehicle or pedestrian moving behind your Nissan as you reverse. You receive an instant warning, giving you time to hit the brakes and avoid a potential accident.

Rear Automatic Braking

When you reverse into a parking spot, some stationary objects like the curb, planters, or any other solid object. Rear sensors identify the presence of these objects and will warn you if you get too close. If necessary, this feature will apply automatic braking to prevent striking the object.

High Beam Assist

High beams provide added visibility on a dark road, but they can temporarily blind drivers heading toward you. This feature automatically switches your lights to low beams when oncoming headlights are detected. Once the lights have disappeared, your headlights revert to high beams.
