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!Â

You love the INFINITI brand because it represents the best in luxury and its vehicles have a number of excellent features to make your experience behind the wheel even better. Sometimes, it can be a challenge to understand complicated auto terminology, however. We’re here to unravel some of that confusion!
Take, for instance, electronic stability control, available on the 2018 INFINITI QX30. This computerized technology improves a vehicle's balance by detecting and reducing the loss of traction or skidding.
When a loss of steering control is detected, this technology automatically applies the brakes individually to each wheel to correct for improper trajectory until the vehicle is back on the path the driver intended. Engine power is also reduced until authority over the car is regained.
This important safety feature is reassuring to have because it can act as a helper when you don’t react quite quickly enough. In addition, electronic stability control is ideal for slippery road conditions, all too common in Washington due to rain and winter weather.
The QX30 boasts a number of other great safety features, including a panic alarm, security system, and a low tire pressure warning. Stop by INFINITI of Tacoma today and test drive this fantastic vehicle!Â

Reading the laundry list of specs accompanying new vehicles can be overwhelming to say the least. Have you ever wondered what some of the complicated terms might mean? For instance, what exactly is brake assist?
Brake assist is actually just what it sounds like. It is an active vehicle safety feature designed to help drivers come to a stop more quickly during an emergency. It works by being able to predict panic or hurried efforts to halt the car and helps to apply extra pressure to cut the speed to zero miles an hour.
The 2018 INFINITI QX30 has a number of amazing features like brake assist that make it a safe bet. For instance, a front and rear anti-roll bar, part of the vehicle’s suspension, helps stabilize it and keep it from tipping over. In addition, a variety of airbags, including one at knee-level and another that senses occupant size, offer peace of mind, no matter the circumstances.
In addition, the QX30 features a panic alarm and a security system to keep your vehicle and belongings safe. A low tire pressure warning means you won’t ever have to worry about being caught off guard.
Stop by INFINITI of Tacoma today and test drive the fantastic QX30. From brake assist to its variety of other safety features, you will always feel secure in this great vehicle!

During a visit to your INFINITI dealership or while browsing online, it can be difficult to decipher the complicated names manufacturers assign to their vehicles’ amenities. We’re here to tell you it doesn’t have to be challenging!
For instance, you might wonder about speed-sensing steering, available on the brand new 2018 INFINITI QX30. It sounds complicated, but it’s actually fairly straightforward, and it goes a long way toward improving the quality of your driving experience.
In older vehicles, drivers might find that their power-assist steering system provides a bit too much help. For instance, at higher speeds they might feel that they are too detached from the road, contributing to an out-of-control sensation.
Manual steering, on the other hand, may require too much effort for drivers with less arm strength during parking lot and slow-speed maneuvers. That’s where speed-sensing comes in! This is a way to compromise and offer better handling and performance no matter how fast you are going.
How does this impressive technology work, you wonder? It relies on input from various sensors and computer modules to determine how much power assist should be applied to the steering input. What does this mean for you? A superior experience behind the wheel, each and every time!
