Nissan Features Glossary For Seattle, Tacoma, And Bellevue Washington
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.
