Have you ever read the list of specifications for a vehicle you’re considering and been a bit lost? Oftentimes, some terms make sense, and others are a bit puzzling. For instance, what aredelay off headlights? Part of the all-new 2019 INFINITI QX50, this feature is important, but it may not be as self-explanatory as you’d think.
Delay off headlights make it easy for your vehicle to illuminate the area around it when it is dark. This is an important safety feature so that you don’t trip or otherwise fail to observe a hazard. In neighborhoods that aren’t quite so quiet, it’s a great way to feel more secure when you’re alone at night, too.
Occasionally called a "relay delay," this feature keeps the headlights switched on for a pre-set amount of time after you turn off the vehicle and remove your keys. Sounds like a great assistive device, right?
The 2019 QX50 is filled with such amazing safety features as delay off headlights. It also includes anti-whiplash head restraints, brake assist, and an emergency communication system, all aimed at keeping you well. If this sounds like the vehicle for you, stop by INFINITI of Tacoma in Seattle, Washington, today and take a test drive!Â

The 2019 QX50 boasts a number of fabulous features, including its blind spot sensor. Perhaps you’ve heard of other vehicles with this technology. You might have a general sense as to what this means without understanding it in full. Here are some basics about the amenity.
INFINITIs with blind spot sensors are working hard for your protection one hundred percent of the time. They boast a device that tracks traffic behind and alongside you. Using ultrasonic or radar on the sides and rear of the SUV, this safety feature keeps tabs on other cars, until they are no longer in your way.
The idea behind this technology is to prevent you from inadvertently moving into a position already occupied by another vehicle. This is all too easy to do when the car is in your blind spot, hence the need for these sensors (and the reason for their name).
You’ll be alerted via an indicator light on your side mirror whenever there is a vehicle in your blind spot. This way, when you check before switching lanes, you’ll know immediately whether or not it is safe to do so.
Intrigued? Stop by INFINITI of Tacoma today and test drive the fabulous 2019 QX50, filled with assistive technologies like blind spot monitoring. You’ll love everything about it!

The 2019 INFINITI QX50 is a stylish crossover vehicle perfect for your family. Its exterior is beautiful, with clean lines and an elegant front grille. Inside, it’s loaded with amazing features to make you comfortable and keep you safe.
One such feature is the QX50’s occupant-sensing airbags. It can be extremely dangerous if these safety devices deploy but no one is sitting in the associated seats. This is because they are engineered to hit each passenger and the driver at a certain angle and a particular impact. If you are hit from the side where you shouldn’t be, you can be injured.
Additionally, it’s problematic if children under a certain size are hit by airbags. This is where the occupant-sensing variety come in. Have you ever wondered how they work?
Occupant-sensing airbags check for the presence, position, and type of a vehicle’s passenger. In addition, they sense whether a rear-facing child seat is located in the car. In this way, the activator control system will either enable, disable, or control inflation rate accordingly to keep everyone safe.
If you think your family would benefit from the enhanced security of occupant-sensing airbags, stop by your Tacoma INFINITI dealership today and take a test drive of the fabulous QX50.
