It’s a baffling collection of sharp turns and sudden angles - with your eyes jumping between obstacles, trying to decipher the concrete maze. This downtown adventure has left you overwhelmed, and you wonder how you’re meant to find a parking space.

Nissan suggests utilizing its Around View system - as provided in the 2018 Rogue Sport.



As St. Louis Today explains, the new Rogue Sport delivers more than all-terrain value. Instead its Around View monitor enables drivers to navigate suburban streets and city lanes with equal ease - delivering 360-degrees of protection. Activate the console by shifting into reverse. Immediately the four body-mounted cameras will engage, yielding a bird’s-eye perspective of the surrounding environment; while the eight-inch touchscreen will stream high-definition video. Gridlines will then appear, each boasting a unique color to warn operators of potential concerns:

Dual Green Lines - an approaching object in approximately 10 feet from the car.
Single Green Line - an approaching object is approximately 7 feet from the car.
Single Yellow Line - an approaching object is approximately 3 feet from the car.
Single Red Line - an approaching object is approximately 1.5 feet from the car.

These intuitive route markers allow drivers to effectively gauge distance, while integrated Moving Object Detection software further bolsters the reversal process - releasing audio and visual warnings if an obstacle is found via radar scan. This suite of class-leading technologies ensures a seamless downtown experience.

This sedan promises superior ease, with its interior engineered for passenger comfort and convenience. Compromise no more, Kirkland.

According to CNET, the 2019 Sentra SV has been redefined.

2019 nissan sentra for sale seattle bellevue washingtonSearching for a premium sedan experience? Nissan suggests sliding behind the wheel of its 2019 Sentra SR. This mid-size option accommodates everyday demands with ease - connecting Issaquah drivers to the top-tier features they deserve.

According to CNET, the new Sentra SR has been tailored for convenience. Anchoring its chassis are a series of fascia upgrades, each meant to improve highway handling. LED headlamps slice through the dark, while fog lights deliver superior visibility in the early morning haze.

Disc brakes further enhance performance, offering seamless stoppage by increasing torque ratios among the tires.

Nissan pairs these exterior enhancements with available adaptive cruise control. This system modulates speed, enabling the sedan to more efficiently maneuver through stop-and-go traffic. Following distance is carefully calculated, with metrics based upon the surrounding vehicles and their acceleration patterns; and the brakes are seamlessly engaged should a potential threat be detected via the front-mounted sensors. This promotes a safe experience with every mile.

PSIs, over-inflation, under-inflation – does thinking about proper tire pressure make your head spin? For most drivers, this is a fact. But, not following your vehicle’s recommended inflation guide can lead to serious issues, like poor fuel economy or premature tire wear. Over time, these concerns can cost you a great deal. 
 
But, not if you are driving a 2018 Altima.
 
 
This model is equipped with Nissan's Easy-Fill Tire Alert, which helps drivers quickly and conveniently fill their tires to the correct pressure without the need for a handheld device.
 
Here’s how it works in four simple steps:
 
1. Apply the parking brake, put the vehicle in park, and turn the ignition to accessory mode (the engine should be turned off).
 
2. Start filling a tire with air and wait for the exterior lights to flash, which indicates that the Easy-Fill Tire Alert is monitoring the change in air pressure.
 
3. When the correct tire pressure is reached, the Altima’s horn will sound.
 
4. If you accidentally over-inflated the tire, the horn will honk again and the hazard indicator will flash three times.
 
Neat, right? The Altima’s Easy-Fill Tire Alert is another fine example of the many technologies that are part of the Nissan Intelligent Mobility vision and how cars are powered, driven and integrated into our society.
 
To learn more about this ground-breaking technology and how it can improve your ownership experience, contact our team at Kirkland Nissan in Seattle, Washington today.
