Hi Robert,

I recently purchased a new 2018 Nissan Titan XD and know it has a trailer light checking system. Iâ€™m just not sure how to use it: could you walk me through the process?

Thanks,
David

Hi, David!

The 2018 Nissan Titan XDâ€™s trailer light safety checking feature is a really easy system to operate.

After youâ€™ve connected a trailer, you need to press the lock button on your Titanâ€™s key fob twice. The second time you hit it, hold down until the horn beeps once and the parking lights flash.

The system will then follow this sequence: the left turn light on your vehicle and trailer will flash for five seconds, then the right will do the same.

After this, the brake lights on both your truck and the trailer will turn on for five seconds. Once the sequence is complete, youâ€™ll hear a muted beep from the horn.

This is a fantastic time-saving feature which means you donâ€™t need to have anyone else with you to check everything is working correctly: enjoy it!

Thanks for the question, David! Contact Kirkland Nissan, Washington if you ever need anything else.

Hi Robert,

My 2018 Nissan Rogueâ€™s windows have been fogging up for the last few months. Apart from being dangerous, this is really annoying. How should I stop it from happening?

Thanks,
Anne

Hi, Anne!

As the warm humid air inside your 2018 Nissan Rogue hits the cool windows, it forms condensation. But itâ€™s not something to worry about because there are several ways to stop it.

The easiest way to combat this problem is to use your carâ€™s demister. This will engage the air-conditioner and blow a dry warm breeze on to the windscreen. The climate control systemÂ draws fresh air into the cabin

Something else you can do to prevent this is clean your windows. Oil, dust, and other contaminants build up on your glass over time which gives the water vapor more surface area to hold on to. This is an often overlooked but effective solution.

If you get rid of these contaminants, your carâ€™s windows will take longer to fog up and also clear quicker when you use its demister.

Hi Robert,

Throughout winter my 2018 Nissan Rogue's tire pressure monitoring light has been turning on. It seems like the rubber has deflated but not by much. My father said itâ€™s due to the cold weather: is he correct?

Thanks,
Michael

Hi, Michael!

Cold weather can cause your 2018 Nissan Rogueâ€™s tires to deflate; with the way you have described it, this sounds like it's the most likely cause.

Regular tires will drop by about 1 PSI for every 10 degrees Fahrenheit the outside air temperature decreases.

So, if youâ€™ve just done a relatively long drive or itâ€™s a warm day when you pump some air in your rubber, you will lose a few PSI as the temperature drops on these wintery nights. This can definitely be enough to trigger your low tire pressure warning light.

Likewise, your tires will inflate by about 1 PSI for every 10 degrees Fahrenheit the temperature goes up. So you may see that warning light switch off throughout the day if your car is out in the sunlight.

Thanks for the question, Michael! Don't hesitate to contact Kirkland Nissan, Washington if you need anything else.

Marysville Drivers: How do You Set up Your 2018 Nissan Titan's Memory Seat?
Tags:

(Posted on Jan 30, 2019 at 01:40AM by Robert Bacon)

Hi Robert,

I recently upgraded to a 2018 Nissan Titan and share it with my wife. Iâ€™m not quite sure how to set up the memory seat function. She's a lot smaller than me so it would help us a lot if you could explain this feature.

Thanks,
Paul

Hi, Paul!

Itâ€™s no fun having to readjust your 2018 Nissan Titanâ€™s settings each morning. Programming the memory seat function is easy, just follow the steps below.

First, manually adjust everything to the way you like it: this includes the mirrors as the memory seat feature will adjust these too. Next, push â€˜setâ€™ and then the number â€˜1â€™: these buttons are on the driverâ€™s door.

Now you should hear an audible sound and the â€˜1â€™ button will light up; this is how you know youâ€™ve set everything up correctly and it has been saved.

After this, all you have to do is press the â€˜1â€™ button and your seat and mirror settings will adjust automatically.

If your wife wants to set it up for herself, she needs to repeat the above steps but use the number â€˜2â€™ button instead of â€˜1â€™.

Thanks for the question, Paul. Contact Kirkland Nissan, Washington again if you need anything else.

Hi Robert,

Iâ€™m about to buy a new 2018 Nissan Titan but canâ€™t decide whether to go for the 4x2 or 4x4 version. My friend said I would save money in the long run if I went for the 4x2: is he correct?

Thanks,
Andrew

Hi, Andrew!

Whatever version of the 2018 Titan you go for, Iâ€™m sure youâ€™ll be extremely satisfied. But, for all intents and purposes, your friend is right about the 4x2 version saving you money.

Since the 4x2 model has a lower production cost, its base price is cheaper. Mechanically, there's more going on underneath the 4x4 which makes it more expensive.

The additional heavy-duty parts on the 4x4 model add weight to it. So, since the 4x2 version is lighter, it gets better gas mileage; if you own this vehicle for a while and do a lot of driving, you will notice a difference at the pumps.

Finally, 4x4 vehicles tend to have a higher cost of ownership as there are more parts to maintain. This also means there are extra things which may need to be repaired or replaced over time.

Thanks for your question, Andrew! Why not call down to Kirkland Nissan, Washington and test drive both models for yourself?

Is Your 2018 Nissan Sentra Big Enough For a Family in Everett, Washington?
Tags:

(Posted on Dec 23, 2018 at 07:59AM by Robert Bacon)

Hi Robert,

Our current car is much too small for me, my husband, and our three-year-old daughter. Iâ€™m thinking of buying a new 2018 Nissan Sentra but Iâ€™m not sure if it will be big enough. What do you think?

Thanks,
Amelia

Hi, Amelia!

The 2018 Nissan Sentra may be classed as a compact but don't let that fool you, thereâ€™s tons of space inside.

This model is a five-seater and has an astonishing 97 cubic feet of interior volume. Which means, even if youâ€™re driving with a full crew, everyone will have their own space.

With 37.4 inches of legroom on offer in the rear and 42.5 in the front, the Sentra is a pleasant place to be even for taller passengers.

Arguably, this modelâ€™s most impressive feature is the 15.1 cubic feet of cargo space available in the trunk. This isnâ€™t just good for a compact, itâ€™s competitive against bigger cars outside of this class.

If you find yourself transporting some oddly shaped items, as most do around the holiday season, you can drop the 60/40 folding rear seat. This allows you to fit even the most awkward things into your trunk.

Thanks for the question, Amelia! Why not come down to Kirkland Nissan, Washington and see if this model ticks all your boxes?

Hi Robert,

Iâ€™m thinking of upgrading to a 2019 Nissan Rogue next year. Iâ€™m just wondering if I can connect my phone to this SUV so I never have to handle it while Iâ€™m driving.

Thanks,
Ava

Hi, Ava!

Itâ€™s great to see someone being so proactive about road safety. The 2019 Nissan Rogue has multiple hands-free features which mean that you'll never need to touch your phone once you enter the vehicle.

You can wirelessly connect your smartphone to this model and view your texts and calls on its 7-inch color touch-screen monitor.

Making a call is as easy as hitting a couple of buttons on the steering wheel. You could also be totally hands-free and do it through a few simple voice commands.

Should anyone phone you while you're on the move, you'll see their ID on the screen and know who it is instantly. There are a variety of ringtones to choose from so you can pick one that's to your liking.

The Hands-Free Text Messaging Assistant feature on this model reads anything you receive in your inbox out loud, so you never have to take your eyes off the road.

Thanks for the question, Ava! Why not call down to Kirkland Nissan, Washington and test drive the 2019 Rogue for yourself?
