Check Out The Latest Safety Features On The 2018 Pathfinder Coming Soon To Coast Nissan

Humans can often get sidetracked, and on the road, this can prove quite dangerous as distracted driving is one of the biggest cause of accidents each year. It is even estimated that over 1,000 people are injured each day because of a distracted driver. The latest 2018 Nissan models include several new features that alert the driver to changes in traffic and can take preventative actions. Other features simply remind the driver of kids, pets or groceries they may have forgotten. Come down to Coast Nissan today in San Luis Obispo, CA and to learn more about these safety tools and let us remind you of why our dealership provides the best car buying experience.

Highway Tools

While 52% of accidents occur within 5 miles of your home, accidents on the highway have more severe consequences due to higher speed limits. Nissan has several new features to keep your eyes on the road, such as the integrated navigation system. Instead of having to look down at your phone or even at the center console to view your directions, you can now view the direction on a screen in between the speedometer and tachometer, reducing the time your eyes aren’t monitoring traffic. Other features such as Lane Keep Assist work to alert the driver when the car begins to sway from the lane, and Blind Spot Warnings notify you of cars you may not be able to see.

Rear Door Alert

The Rear Door Alert is aimed at reducing the number of children and pets who die each year as a result of being left in a hot car. This system can detect if the rear door was open before a trip starts, and remind you later to check the back seat for anything you may have forgotten. This new feature will be available on the 2018 Pathfinder coming this fall to coastal Nissan dealerships. You can also find model year end savings deals on all our 2017 vehicles, so hurry in to Coast Nissan today to find your dream car.

Check Out The New ProPilot Assist System Coming To 2018 Coast Nissan Models

The revolutionary Nissan ProPilot Assist system is debuting at Coast Nissan with the 2018 models, and is an exciting technology that makes driving easier and less stressful. Along with helping to keep drivers safe and monitoring your car’s position on the road, the various ProPilot tools make everyday tasks like parking simpler. This allows you to enjoy driving more and appreciate the fun parts of getting behind the wheel. Here is a quick overview of the ProPilot system from your local coastal Nissan dealership in SLO.

Assisted Driving

Nissan’s ProPilot Assist was not designed to fully automate the car, only to help the driver in navigations and safety. Once ProPilot is activated, the driver must have at least one hand on the wheel at all times. The system will then identify the lane the car is in along with its speed and will automatically make adjustments depending on traffic. It can slow down the vehicle to the speed of the car it’s following and will keep a safe distance away to avoid a collision. The ProPilot system is one of the steadiest and advanced systems on the market, able to adapt to sharp curves with ease and remain in the lane without swaying from side to side.

Simplifying Tasks

Finding the right parking spot and pulling into it can be difficult, but the ProPilot parking system can easily automate the process. Once the target spot is identified by the system, it will automatically move the steering wheel, accelerate and brake the car to guide it into position. All of these features are made possible thanks to the addition of various sensors and cameras that make the car aware of its surroundings.

Much like the ProPilot system, our Coast Nissan sales team is happy to assist with any questions you may have. Our San Luis Obispo car dealer prides itself on offering the best customer service in town, so visit us today or head online to www.coastnissan.com.

Save On Maintenance Costs By Choosing A Nissan Hybrid Car From Coast Nissan

Along with the obvious benefits of a higher fuel efficiency and less emissions, many Nissan hybrid cars require less car service over their lifespan. This means not only do you save money at the pump, but your service schedule will be less expensive and frequent. Cars like the Nissan Rogue Hybrid or the Nissan Leaf are designed to be driver friendly, and fewer potential problems with your car can certainly take some of the stress off buying a new vehicle at Coast Nissan. For the regular car maintenance it does need, be sure to stop by our San Luis Obispo car dealer for the lowest prices and most reliable service.

Engine And Battery

Hybrids use a battery and a combustible engine to power the car, switching off depending on the speed. This reduces stress on the combustible engine, and the batteries in hybrid cars are so powerful nowadays that most drivers won’t ever need them replaced. They are estimated to last over 150,000 miles, but there are many on the street today that have logged upwards of 200,000 miles. Fortunately, while you do need a replacement, the price of these batteries is dropping lower and lower each year and they are also recyclable.

Brake Pad Life

The most noticeable savings you will find with electric and hybrid cars is with the brake pads. Ordinary cars need them changed regularly, but because most hybrid cars use regenerative braking, this reduces the heat and friction buildup on the pads. This eliminates much of the typical wear and tear on the mechanical brakes, extending their lifetime and saving you money.

For any other questions or concerns you may have about your car’s maintenance schedule, talk with our Nissan service experts at Coast Nissan. You can set up an appointment ahead of time to fit your schedule as well as view all our hybrid and electric models online at www.coastnissan.com.

Make Sure Your Tires And Alignment Are Road Ready At Coast Nissan

An often neglected but very important part of proper car maintenance is tire care. Long road trips and hot summer roads can take a major toll on your tires and brake pads, and without proper care this can lead to more serious damage to your car. It is always important to keep in mind when you last rotated your tires or replaced the pads, and at Coast Nissan our experts can examine your car and ensure it is ready for the road. Stop by our San Luis Obispo car dealership today and let our Nissan service team do the rest.

Why Is Tire Rotation Important?

Though tires rotate all the time on the road, a tire rotation involves moving the tires on one wheel to another. This helps to reduce uneven wear on your tires. When you turn a corner, the outside edges of the front tires lean over more while the rear tires simply follow along. This causes the front tires to wear down much faster and they will need replacement much sooner. It is far easier and often cheaper to buy tires as a set of four, so rotating the tires and making sure they are all at the appropriate pressure will save you money in the long run.

Other Important Tire Services

Another factor that can result in your tires wearing out faster is improper wheel alignment. As you travel over bumps, holes or uneven roads, the irregular movements can throw your tires out of alignment. This can even reduce your gas mileage and overall handling of the vehicle. Our service professionals can quickly analyze your vehicle to see if it needs realignment.

For any other service concerns you may have about your Nissan, big or small, don’t hesitate to talk with our technicians at Coast Nissan. You can also schedule an appointment ahead of time at www.coastnissan.com and bring your car in on your schedule.

Coast Nissan’s Hybrid And Electric Models Help You Save On Gas

When it comes to saving money on gas, all you really need is a car with a hybrid or electric engine. Most of your fuel is used in stopping and accelerating the car during city driving, while on a highway it’s easy to maintain a certain speed. A hybrid car solves this problem by utilizing an electric motor at lower speeds and only switching to the more powerful combustible engine when going fast. This heavily boosts the fuel efficiency for hybrid and electric cars. To try out Nissan’s diverse hybrid lineup, including the Pathfinder, Rogue and Leaf, head to a San Luis Obispo car dealership such as Coast Nissan.

Nissan Rogue

The Nissan Rogue is Nissan’s best selling car overall in 2017 thanks to its hybrid engine and flexibility. As a crossover, the Rogue blends the line between the driving style of a sedan and the carrying capacity of a larger SUV. With plenty of seating, a large trunk and incredible safety features, this car works well for almost any family. The hybrid engine option boosts the fuel efficiency of the base model by 6 mpg, giving you more bang for your buck at the pump.

Nissan Pathfinder

For an even larger SUV, consider the Nissan Pathfinder, which makes use of its supercharged hybrid engine to achieve an impressive 26 combined mpg. The three rows of seating easily fit seven, and the Pathfinder is one of the only SUVs with a dynamic driving mode selector, which allows you to choose between 2WD, 4WD and Auto.

Nissan Leaf

If you want to never visit a gas station again, the Nissan Leaf runs solely on electricity and has no emissions. Charging takes as little as half an hour and Nissan has installed thousands of public charging stations around the U.S. as part of the No Charge to Charge program.

At Coast Nissan, our friendly sales team will help you find the right hybrid for your life, and can help answer questions along the way. From summer savings deals to top of the line Nissan service, you can find everything you need to get started at www.coastnissan.com.

Nissan’s Improved Cruise Control Adapts To Other Drivers

There are many new advancements coming to Nissan models this year, thanks to the time and money the company has invested into developing autonomous cars. Many features such as blind spot recognition have stemmed from this development, as engineers searched for a way to recognize if a car was in an adjacent lane. More and more of these autonomous features are being integrated into the 2018 lineup, such as the Nissan E-Pedal which improves regenerative braking. The latest advancement is an updated adaptive cruise and lane control system, so be on the lookout for the 2018 models arriving soon at Coast Nissan in San Luis Obispo, CA.

Adaptive Cruise Control

Cruise control is a fantastic feature that makes driving on highways or long distances much easier on the driver. By simply accelerating to your desired speed and activating it, you can cruise along without needing to worry. The only time you need to slow down is if a car is moving slowly in front of you, but adaptive cruise control can automatically do this. Coupled with lane management technology, the adaptive system can keep you centered in the lane and automatically adjust the speed of the car to fit whoever you are following.

ProPilot Assist

While adaptive cruise control may seem like it’s a self-driving feature, it is meant to be an assistance system where the driver remains engaged with the road. It can offer a relief during heavy traffic or on road trips, but drivers still need to pay attention and remained focus. Road conditions can change in an instant, and even the best adaptive cruise control system can’t account for every scenario. Nissan commented that, “The driver’s role hasn’t changed. We are just providing assistance.”

Save Now At Coast Nissan

At our coastal Nissan dealership, our sales team can help show you how these new features make driving easier and more enjoyable. To learn more about any of our model or if you have any questions, you can also visit www.coastnissan.com.
