2018 nissan pathfinder s for sale in seattle washingtonSummer is here, and the weather can be unbearably hot. Every year we see stories on television about parents leaving their children in the car. The results have proved to be fatal and heartbreaking. That’s why Nissan engineers have introduced new technology to prevent this catastrophe from happening in the future.

The 2018 Nissan Pathfinder S comes standard with rear door alerts. Software built into the vehicle tracks whether or not a back door was opened at the beginning of the drive. If so, the horn will sound at the conclusion of your journey to signal you. You can enable or disengage this feature using the SUV’s trip computer under the menu settings. According to the National Safety Council, 43 kids died in sweltering automobiles across the United States just last year.

This advanced function was invented by Elsa Foley and Marlene Mendoza. The Japanese automaker plans to incorporate this life-saving technology in the 2019 Altima, Sentra, and Rogue. By 2020, the company will have made this operation standard across the board on every new model manufactured.
