Tech Tuesday-360 Degrees of Safety
Happy Tech Tuesday all! Today we are taking a look at Safety Shield 360, a suite of six advanced active safety and driver-assist technologies, as standard equipment on all of its top-selling models by 2021, representing more than one million vehicles annually.
According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), cross traffic alert reduces crashes by 22 percent; the combination of rearview cameras and sensors reduces crashes by 42 percent; and adding rear emergency braking reduces backing crashes by 78 percent compared with vehicles with none of these features.
Nissan North American chairman Denis LeVot, says “Our philosophy is to bring Nissan Intelligent Mobility technologies to market in our most popular and affordable vehicles.” He also stated that “Safety Shield 360 combines six advanced systems to give models like Altima and Rogue a class-leading package of technologies that can improve safety and the overall driving experience for Nissan owners.”
The suite of advanced driver-assist systems includes Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection , Blind Spot Warning , Rear Cross Traffic Alert , Lane Departure Warning , High Beam Assist, and Rear Automatic Braking . These features are sure to revolutionize the way we drive, as well as help safe driving skyrocket with these enhancements.
Nissan Safety Shield 360 supports the Nissan Intelligent Mobility vision to redefine how cars are driven, powered, and integrated into society.
Nissan Safety Shield 360, which includes front, side and rear sensing technologies – have been introduced as standard equipment on SV and SL grades of the 2019 Rogue, 2019 Rogue Sport and the 2019 Altima, as well as the upcoming 2020 models.

Throwback Thursday: The Power of Patrol
Happy Throwback Thursday all! Today we are taking a look at the rugged Datsun Patrol, which debuted in 1951.
The answer to the Jeep, the second-generation Datsun Patrol was sold in the U.S. for a short period of time. This generation featured a rugged leaf-spring suspension on a ladder-style frame, with a robust 4×4 system. Overseas, Patrols were used as safari conquerors, along with providing the base vehicle for fire engines, vans and ambulances. Today, the Nissan Patrol is available overseas in Australia, Central and South America, South Africa, parts of Southeast Asia and Western Europe as well as Iran and the Middle East. This is excluding North America where as of 2016, a modified version has been sold as what we know as the Nissan Armada.
Tech Tuesday: Leaf Madness!
Happy Tech Tuesday all! Today we are celebrating a pretty big milestone from the past year. The Nissan LEAF became the first electric car in history to surpass 400,000 sales, solidifying the model’s leading role in the global shift toward more sustainable mobility. Introduced in 2010 as the world’s first mass-market electric vehicle, the Nissan LEAF has led the way in making the excitement and convenience of electric driving accessible to non-luxury buyers. Less than a decade ago, electric cars were seen as a niche product, and LEAF customers were mostly “early adopters.” Today, a growing number of consumers say their next car may be electric. Customers are choosing the LEAF for its powerful, agile performance and advanced technologies, such as the ProPILOT Assist semi-autonomous driving system, in addition to the benefits of sustainable mobility.
Did you Know?
Here are some facts on the Nissan Leaf!
In launching the first-generation LEAF, Nissan pledged to become a global leader in producing and promoting vehicles with zero tailpipe emissions. The company committed itself to working with governments and utility companies to support the adoption of electric vehicles, make charging them easier and more convenient, and develop second-life uses for electric car batteries.
Since then, Nissan has formed partnerships around the world under its Nissan Energy initiative. These partnerships will leverage the ability of electric car batteries to store energy and share it with homes, businesses and power grids – making electric vehicles even more useful, while promoting efficient energy use. Meanwhile, LEAF owners have driven their cars more than 10 billion kilometers in total. The number of LEAF vehicles sold since 2010 is enough to save 3.8 million barrels of oil a year.
The Nissan LEAF embodies the three pillars of Nissan Intelligent Mobility – Intelligent Power, Intelligent Drive and Intelligent Integration. The car’s innovative electric powertrains exemplify the first, while ProPILOT Assist, available in many markets, showcases the second. Designed for single-lane driving on the highway, ProPILOT Assist maintains speed and lane position while reducing driver fatigue.
Nissan Energy also includes new efforts to reuse batteries, a vital step in enhancing the sustainability of electric vehicles. Along with strategic partners, Nissan has taken LEAF batteries and repurposed them for use in off-grid street lighting, power banks for sports complexes, and more.
The Nissan LEAF is built at three factories: Oppama, Japan; Sunderland, England; and Smyrna, Tennessee.

Throwback Thursday: Combined Excellence
Happy Throwback Thursday all! Today we are taking a look at the Nissan Gloria Custom Deluxe, a 4 door sedan that launched in February 1971. Combining two creative vehicles, the Cedric and Gloria were integrated into one model to make this, the Custom Deluxe. The Cedric and Gloria then differed only in the hood panel/mascot, radiator grille and rear combination lamps and finisher, etc. In April of the same year, a 4-door hardtop version (without center pillar) was introduced, Japan’s first in the 2-liter class. Following a minor change in April 1973, the Custom Deluxe was fitted with a heated rear window as standard.

Tech Tuesday: Cruise Control of the Future
Happy Tech Tuesday everyone! Today we are looking at Nissan’s Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC). This works like a standard cruise control, only with the added feature of maintaining a selected distance from the vehicle in front of you. The distance to the vehicle ahead can be selected at any time depending on the traffic conditions. How does this works? It’s very simple really. Each time the distance switch is pushed, the set distance will change to long, medium, short and back to long again.The distance to the vehicle ahead will change according to the vehicle speed. The higher the vehicle speed, the longer the distance.If the vehicle in front is traveling slower than your set speed, the ICC will automatically match that vehicle’s speed. Once the road ahead clears, the ICC will resume your set speed automatically. When the road ahead is clear, the driver can set the speed range between approximately 20 to 90 miles per hour. This awesome technology is pushing vehicles into the future of car ownership, and is making every day actions more stress free.
Throwback Thursday: What’s in a Name?
Happy Throwback Thursday everyone! Today we are taking back at the origin of the company. Nissan is an abbreviation for the original company stock market name Ni-San. It’s also a combination of Japanese characters “ni” which means sun and “ssan” which means product or birth. Therefore, Nissan is a product of Japan, the land of the rising sun! #throwbackthursday #nissan
