Nissan Features Glossary For Seattle, Tacoma, And Bellevue Washington
The 2018 Nissan Kicks SV has hit showrooms, which makes it an exciting time to be a car buyer! This incredible new vehicle is loaded with features and has the style you crave. Some of its amenities are fairly unique because of its layout. Take, for instance, the cargo shade. You don’t see that every day on a small vehicle.

Since the Kicks is a hatchback, the configuration of its cargo space is a bit different than what you may be used to in non-SUVs or minivans. This type of vehicle has many wonderful attributes, but the rear storage area is rather exposed to the prying eyes of passers-by, as well as to the heat of the sun.

Enter the cargo shade. This handy tool pulls out from the top of the hatch area, where it’s mounted, and extends to the rear door. When used, it blocks groceries from the sun and keeps luggage or valuables out of sight, which adds to your security.



The vehicle has a number of other handy features, including a proximity key. This fob will lock the door if it senses that you have it outside, which is very convenient. In addition, this Nissan offers a remote start and a panic alert button.

Stop by your Kirkland Nissan dealer the next time you’re in Bothell, Washington, and take a test drive of this great vehicle!

 
Sometimes, it’s the simplest parts of our cars that can be the most difficult to understand. Take, for instance, auto-leveling headlights. The lights themselves are fairly self-explanatory, but what does it mean that they somehow automatically adjust?

Featured in the 2017 Nissan GT-R Premium, auto-leveling headlights are actually more helpful to other drivers than to you. Have you ever been headed somewhere at night and found that another car’s lights were uncomfortably pointed right into your eyes? It might be that the vehicle had just gone over a bump and their beams did not adjust automatically.



Auto-leveling headlights use internal technology to determine if the car is tilted forward or back. If the vehicle is driving over a large bump, the front of the car is lifted up. Standard headlights would briefly point into the sky until the rear of the car moved over the hill, too.

With a self-leveling system, electric servomotors react to the level sensor and keep the headlights aimed down, no matter the position of the car. This is a big help to you, as it assists with visibility at night. It also benefits other drivers.

Want to check out the 2017 GT-R Premium at Kirkland Nissan? It’s filled with amazing technologies like auto-leveling headlights. Stop by our Renton, Washington, showroom today! 
2017 nissan altima 2.5 s for sale in seattle washingtonWhen it comes to accident prevention, no other company comes close to the innovations being brought to the table by Nissan. The addition of a rearview camera in many models has saved a lot of people from fender benders. You won’t have to worry about running over your kid’s bicycle or bumping into a stationary car you when parallel parking.

At the posterior section of the vehicle, engineers have placed a camera that shows what is directly behind you. The video feed is shown either on a touchscreen monitor or the rearview mirror, depending on the car. In the 2017 Nissan Altima 2.5 S, a 5-inch display presents you with a live image. If you start to back up and an audible alarm sounds, that means that you are too close to the object. This smart safety feature has helped drivers avoid big headaches.

This system even works in low-light areas and at night. For city living, it’s ideal due to the frequency of street parking. It also gives a clear picture during inclement weather such as rain or snow.

Want to test out this function for yourself? Get in touch with our dealership in Kirkland, Washington to drive a pre-owned Altima today!
