Safety Technologies

• Active Headrest

  The force of force-seat occupant on the seatback is used to activate the system,moving the head restraint forward immediately to firmly support the occupant's head and mitigate the impact to the neck region.
• Drunk-driving Prevention Concept Car

  Nissan has developed a new concept car with multiple preventive features against drunk-driving, as part of a series of preventive measures. The concept car is designed to detect the driver's condition, to set the driver free from manual operation. If the system detects that there is a possibility the driver has drunk, warnings are issued to the driver to stop the car.
• Human Body Model Simulation

  In addition to dummy testing using anthropomorphic test devices, Computer simulation using the Human Body Model* that reproduces the human anatomy, such as bones, muscles, and ligaments allows a more detailed understanding of injury occurrence mechanisms. Research and development of a more effective pedestrian protection device is underway.
• Pedestrian Protection Effort

  Vehicle components that may come in contact with a pedestrian in a collision are designed to deform or break away easily for better impact energy absorption. This is just one of many approaches Nissan is taking to help reduce pedestrian injuries.
• Pop Up Engine Hood For Pedestrian Protection

  The innovative "Pop Up Engine Hood" instantly lifts the rear of the engine hood in the event of a pedestrian collision. This helps minimizing impact damage to the pedestrian's head by creating space between the engine hood and the harder parts beneath it.
• Brake operated Pre-crash seat belt system

  The vehicle assists the driver's braking action according to the situation.Intelligent Brake Assist helps avoid rear-end collisions, and it also works in concert with the Brake-Operated Pre-crash Seatbelts to help mitigate injuries in the event a collision is unavoidable.
• Lane Departure Prevention

  Camera unit installed behind the windshield detects lane markers in front of the vehicle and calculate its position relative to the lane markers. Brake actuator controls the brake pressure of each wheel individually to generate intended movement.
• Adaptive Front - Lighting System

  AFS automatically turns on low beams according to vehicle speed and steer to provide better visibility.
• GPS Mobile ITS for Pedestrian Safety

  Through communication between vehicles and GPS mobile phones carried by pedestrians, this system helps reduce traffic accidents involving pedestrians in areas that are obstructed from the driver's vision.
• Around View Monitor with Parking Guide

  The Around View Monitor system shows a bird's-eye view of the vehicle, so the driver can tell at a glance the relationship between the vehicle, parking lines and obstacles. Intuitive images helps guide the driver in smarter parallel and garage parking.
• Cooperative Intelligent Transport System (ITS)

  Nissan approaches safety not only from the standpoint of vehicle safety and the traffic environment, but also from the standpoint of the individual.
• 4 Wheel Active Steer

  This system helps improve stability and response at high speed and helps reduce driver's steering workload at low speed.
• Navigation-cooperative Distance Control Assist

  When the car enters a curve, the system helps the driver slow down according to the sharpness on the curve.
