Most Common Nissan Vehicle Questions In Seattle, Tacoma, And Bellevue Washington
new 2018 nissan maxima for sale in marysville kirkland washingtonDear Robert,

I recently upgraded to a 2018 Nissan Maxima and I'm getting to grips with all of its features. Could you walk me through the process of pairing my phone with it via Bluetooth?

Thanks,
Lucy

Hi, Lucy!

Congratulations on upgrading to the 2018 Nissan Maxima, it’s a great vehicle. Pairing your phone to this car is a quick and painless process.

First, you need to hit the button on your steering wheel with a picture of someone talking. After this, you will hear audible instructions come through your car’s speakers.

Push the same button again to skip these directions and then say “add phone” out loud. After this, you’ll see some on-screen instructions which will let you know your vehicle has recognized your command.

Now switch your phone's Bluetooth on and start searching for nearby devices; you should see ‘MY MAXIMA’ appear under this section: select it.

Finally, hit ‘pair’ on your phone and press ‘yes’ on your vehicle's screen. Then wait for your contacts etc. to upload to your car’s computer, and that’s really all there is to it.

Thanks for the question, Lucy! Contact Kirkland Nissan, Washington again if you need anything else.
2018 nissan maxima for sake kirkland washingtonHi, Robert

I was recently out in some heavy rain and briefly lost control of my 2018 Nissan Maxima. My friend, who was in the car at the time, said I had hydroplaned. Could you explain what causes this?

Thanks,
Jennifer

 
Hi, Jennifer!

I’m sorry to hear about your experience. It does sound like you could have hydroplaned and that’s never pleasant. The tires on your Maxima have treads (grooves) which channel water out from underneath them. This is what keeps you in contact with the road when it’s wet.

Sometimes, there’s just too much water and it can’t be kicked out quickly enough. This leads to you, essentially, riding along the top of a puddle instead of cutting through it. Traveling at speeds in excess of 35 mph or driving over oil residue which has mixed with rain can increase your chances of hydroplaning.

Being aggressive when accelerating, braking, and turning could also cause this happen - so try to slow down and drive smoothly in bad weather conditions. It also helps to follow the tracks left by vehicles in front of you and avoid the outer lanes where standing water can accumulate.

Stay safe, Jennifer! Please contact us again if you have any more questions.

If you’re looking for a beautiful sedan with luxury options without the high price tag, then the 2018 Nissan Maxima is a perfect choice!

NissanConnect services include automatic accident notification, emergency calling, stolen vehicle location, and remote start. These convenient functions will keep you connected in the event of an incident.

The Intelligent Mobility system adds blind-spot monitoring and forward collision warning to alert you to any other automobiles getting too close.
