INFINITI Features Glossary For Seattle, Tacoma, And Bellevue Washington
Though it isn’t always flashy or glamorous, safety is one of the most important aspects of a vehicle. The technology that goes into keeping you secure on the road is paramount and shouldn’t be underestimated. Fortunately, the 2018 INFINITI QX30 is filled with protective features.

One of these critical safety features is the occupant-sensing airbag. Traditionally, this technology would be applied indiscriminately, but that proved problematic when children or smaller adults were involved in an accident.

Occupant sensing airbags are designed to solve this problem since they are able to tell the size and weight of passenger and adjust direction or strength accordingly to safeguard against injuries. This is very important because serious damage can occur if safety equipment deploys at full force when a smaller rider is present.


Nitrogen as a gas is what causes your airbags to inflate. Sensors in the front of an automobile know if there has been a collision and trigger these safety mechanisms to deploy. Thanks to occupant size-sensing, this can now be done safely for everyone.

The 2018 QX30 features occupant sensing airbags in addition to a number of other amazing amenities, so you can always travel with peace of mind. Stop by INFINITI of Tacoma today and take a test drive! 
2018 infiniti qx80 for sale bellevue washingtonNissan’s luxury brand is committed to making life easier for its consumers — especially when it comes to commuting. Now available in the 2018 INFINITI QX80 (among other models in the lineup), Intelligent Cruise Control is a confidence-inspiring feature that ensures smooth highway driving.

While maintaining the standard CC operating system, ICC adds a vehicle-to-vehicle distance administration mode that is capable of autonomously keeping a pre-selected gap between your QX80 and the car in front of you. This setting can be chosen, changed, and adjusted at any time depending on traffic conditions and your own operator preferences. In order to modify the range, you can simply press the steering wheel-mounted button to cycle between long, medium, and short lengths — in that sequence.

To further impress, ICC is capable of instantaneously adapting to surrounding carrier velocities on a full acceleration spectrum. The higher the pace, the greater the interval between you and others on the road. Meanwhile, if motorists ahead of you are traveling slower than your presets, the ICC will automatically match it. When the lane clears, your QX80 will seamlessly resume its rate as per your input.

2019 infiniti qx50 for sale seattle bellevue washingtonAt one time or another, we have all had to do "the dance." You know the one. Hands full of groceries, or sports equipment, or kids while you try to access the trunk of your vehicle with your knee or elbow, or better yet, your single pinky finger on your non-dominant side. More than likely, in past situations you have had to put something down, or uncomfortably re-jig the arrangement of objects in your arms. However, with the 2019 INFINITI QX50, you can say goodbye to all of that.

This all-new sporty crossover is equipped with a proprietary Motion-Activated Liftgate — a convenient exterior feature that will undoubtedly make your life easier. It operates by way of a sensor on the back fender. When the fob-holder is within range of the vehicle — about three feet from the rear — the smart unit will detect the Intelligent Key and activate itself, at the ready should you need it.

From there, for entry into the cargo space, one must simply raise their foot within four inches of the bumper. Three beeps will sound and the hatch will either open or close (depending on its current position). There is no need to keep your leg raised for an extended period of seconds, nor do you need to move it side to side. The monitor is hyper-aware, requiring only the smallest amount of effort on your part.

2018 infiniti qx30 for sale bellevue washingtonDid you know that, according to the Institute for Traffic Accident Research and Data Analysis, approximately 70% of vehicle to pedestrian accidents occur during nighttime hours? It’s no secret that driving becomes more difficult in the dark, but while we can’t control the rise and setting of the sun, Nissan’s luxury brand has made it their mission to improve visibility in the evening.

The proprietary Adaptive
Front Lighting System, as seen on the 2018 INFINITI QX30, is a highly intelligent headlamp feature that aids to minimize incidents post daylight by intuitively controlling the distribution of rays.

The AFS automatically adjust low beams based on operator input variables such as vehicle speed and steering wheel angles. For example, when driving on a winding road, AFS will adapt the beacon pattern in order to compensate for the curvature of the road. This ensures that the beam is always directed on your path. Meanwhile, taking cues from signal switch usage, at crossroads, AFS will illuminate the chosen course of travel.

Enhanced visibility can help to reduce the occurrence of collisions, and INFINITI automakers are consistently striving to engineer the latest and greatest of technology to assist drivers.

Auto terminology can be confusing, and it’s all too easy to get caught up in a number of words you don’t understand. This distracts from the important decision-making process of buying a new car! We’re here to talk through some of these puzzling descriptions and offer clear, concise explanations.

Take, for instance, the tachometer. This is a term you’ve probably heard before. In fact, you are likely very familiar with the word. But do you know what it means?

By definition, a tachometer is “an instrument measuring the rotation speed of a shaft or disk, as in a motor or other machine. The device usually displays the revolutions per minute (RPM) on a calibrated analog dial, but digital versions are increasingly common.”


On your INFINITI QX30, the tachometer can be found conveniently on the dashboard, just above the steering wheel. Though this measurement isn’t something you will often need to pay attention to, it’s a good indicator of the vehicle’s health. If the numbers displayed on your device suddenly seem drastically different, it may be time to service the car.

Stop by INFINITI of Tacoma today and test
drive the fabulous 2018 QX30. This wonderful vehicle comes complete with many amazing features and is very popular, so hurry in!
 
Automotive jargon can be puzzling, to say the least. When it comes to buying a new car, you definitely want to understand what you’re purchasing, rather than be confused! At INFINITI of Tacoma, it’s our goal to help you comprehend everything about your next vehicle. We’re here to unravel some of the mystery.

Take the 2015 INFINITI Q60. This fantastic vehicle has a number of excellent features, including limited slip differential. While that may sound great, it doesn’t mean a whole lot to most drivers without a bit of an explanation.


In essence, a limited slip differential allows two output shafts to rotate at different speeds but limits the difference between them. When it comes to your car, this means that you’re better protected in the event of snow or other conditions involving less vehicle-to-road friction. If one wheel starts to lose control, torque to it is reduced. A feature like this can save you the trouble of an accident in many situations.

The 2015 Q60 also comes standard with anti-whiplash front head restraints and electronic stability control, other safety features you can feel good about.

If these amazing features sound like something you’d love to have in your next vehicle, stop by your local INFINITI of Tacoma dealer today for a test drive of the Q60.

 
2017 infiniti qx70 safety features tacoma lynwood seattle washingtonYour INFINITI vehicle is filled with safety features to keep you from harm while you’re out and about on the road. One basic but critical element to these cars are their anti-whiplash front head restraints, as found on the 2017 QX70.

When you are involved in a collision, a near-miss, or just have to brake abruptly, chances are your head jerks back and forth very rapidly. Sometimes, this can cause discomfort. In other cases, you may be seriously injured as your neck moves around so quickly and without your control.

Anti-whiplash front head restraints are designed to curtail this problem. They are made to restrict your movement during a collision (typically one from the rear) and to subsequently protect you by reducing your risk of shoulder or neck injury.

Many people with adjustable headrests in their vehicles don’t take the time to configure them properly. This is a serious safety concern. It is only by setting the height appropriately that you can hope to prevent injury in the event of an accident.

The 2017 QX70’s head restraints adjust to your exact specifications to provide the ultimate in protection in case of a crash. Your neck and shoulders will be safe from whiplash behind the wheel. Hurry

new infiniti q50 active lane control edmonds seattle washingtonIn another giant leap towards the self-driving cars promised in our future, INFINITI delivers Active Lane Control to the new INFINITI Q50 and other models. While not fully self-ruling (yet!), this proprietary feature eliminates driver exhaustion, improves overall safety, and ensures an enjoyable ride, every time.  

Utilizing a camera located on the front of the inside rear-view mirror, equipped vehicles are able to detect lane markings on the road ahead. With this information, it can autonomously make small force and steering adjustments to assist the driver. Not only does the ALC function help to prevent unintended drifting, but it can also account for minor road surface changes and be especially useful in dealing with crosswind situations.

To further impress, by reducing the need for operator inputs, the motorist’s effort will also likely be lessened. When fatigue is minimized — especially on longer commutes or journeys — riders can plan to arrive at their destination with less travel burnout.

Want to learn more? Swing by our dealership today and take one of our ALC-equipped vehicles for a spin so that you can experience the modern phenomenon for yourself. 

new infiniti q50 for sale seattle tacoma des moines washingtonDirect Adaptive Steering — available in the new INFINITI Q50, as well as other models — is a feature for the people. Utilizing incredible world’s-first technology, it allows you, the operator, to fully customize your commuting experience with three selectable modes. Depending on your mood, conditions on the road, or both; you can personalize effort and response by choosing either a Heavy, Standard, or Light setting.

The innovation is made possible by removing the mechanical connection between the steering wheel and tires and replacing it with an electronic wire system. This adjustment allows for instantaneous motorist input that can be digitally processed and adjusted up to 1,000 times per second.

This confidence-inspiring system is entirely unaffected by the kickback and forced movement on conventional columns. Instead, it gradually requires more effort with increased speeds and G-forces. The result is seamless acceleration, fluid turning, and stable road-holding around corners.

2018 infiniti qx60 for sale tacoma seattle auburn washingtonWhen you drive the 2018 INFINITI QX60, you benefit from a number of amazing features. One of these is four-wheel independent suspension. If you’re not familiar with this technology, you’ve come to the right place. We’re here to explain it all!

This technology makes it possible for each wheel to move up and down independently from the rest of the suspension. As a result, all four tires will always be in contact with the ground, meaning that the driver can have maximum control of the vehicle.

Without full contact with the ground, it’s not possible to have 
proper motive force to propel the vehicle down the street. When one of the tires that is steering has no connection with the road, you will lose directional control over the car. Four-wheel independent suspension makes sure this doesn’t happen.

The INFINITI QX60 provides a number of other excellent safety features, including rain-sensing wipers and dual impact front and side airbags. A rear anti-roll bar also protects you in the event of an accident. A panic alarm and security system safeguard your valuables.

Stop by INFINITI of Tacoma and take a test drive of the fantastic QX60 today! You’ll love the security its many features provide.
