When 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.
