Every journey deserves maximum protection, which is why Nissan vehicles come equipped with six advanced safety technologies working together. The Nissan Safety Shield 360 suite represents the brand's commitment to keeping you and your loved ones safe on Canadian roads, regardless of driving conditions or unexpected situations.
This comprehensive safety package comes standard on most Nissan models, providing drivers with confidence-boosting technology that actively monitors your surroundings. These intelligent systems work continuously to detect potential hazards, alert you to danger, and even take autonomous action when necessary—all without adding extra cost to your vehicle purchase.
Forward Collision Prevention Technology
The foundation of Nissan Safety Shield 360 starts with Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection. This vital technology uses radar and camera systems to constantly monitor the road ahead for vehicles and pedestrians. When it detects a potential collision, the system alerts you with visual and audible warnings. If you don't respond quickly enough, the system can automatically apply the brakes to reduce the severity of an impact or avoid a collision entirely.
Working alongside this collision prevention technology is High Beam Assist, which manages your headlight illumination automatically. The system enhances visibility during night driving by toggling between high and low beams based on traffic conditions. When oncoming vehicles approach, High Beam Assist instantly switches to low beams, returning to high beams when the road ahead is clear. This automatic adjustment provides optimal visibility without blinding other drivers, enhancing nighttime safety without requiring constant manual headlight management.
Side and Perimeter Monitoring Systems
Blind Spot Warning technology serves as your vigilant co-pilot, monitoring areas that mirrors can't fully reveal. Using radar sensors, this system detects vehicles in your blind spots and alerts you with warning indicators in your side mirrors. If you activate your turn signal while a vehicle occupies your blind spot, the system provides an additional audible alert to prevent potential side collisions during lane changes.
Lane Departure Warning takes perimeter protection a step further by monitoring your vehicle's position within lane markings. If you begin to drift from your lane without signaling, the system provides visual and tactile alerts. This feature proves invaluable during highway driving or when fatigue might cause momentary lapses in attention, helping prevent unintentional lane departures that could lead to dangerous situations.
Parking and Reversing Safety Features
Rear Cross Traffic Alert transforms the often-stressful experience of backing out of parking spaces into a safer manoeuvre. The system uses radar sensors to detect vehicles approaching from either side as you reverse, providing audible and visual warnings when cross traffic is detected. This technology proves especially valuable in busy parking lots where visibility is frequently limited by adjacent vehicles.
Completing the Nissan Safety Shield 360 suite is Rear Automatic Braking, which adds an additional layer of protection when reversing. The system detects stationary objects behind your vehicle and automatically applies the brakes if you don't respond to initial warnings. This technology helps prevent collisions with obstacles that might be below your rear window line or in your blind spots, such as shopping carts, bicycles, or play equipment.
Your Peace of Mind Guaranteed
The comprehensive protection offered by Nissan Safety Shield 360 transforms your daily driving experience by providing active assistance in virtually every driving scenario. From highway cruising to navigating crowded parking lots, these six technologies work seamlessly together to create a protective bubble around your vehicle.
By including these advanced safety features as standard equipment, Nissan demonstrates its priority on driver and passenger protection. The value extends beyond the immediate safety benefits—many insurance providers offer discounts for vehicles equipped with advanced driver assistance systems, potentially reducing your overall ownership costs while maximizing protection.
