Nissan Releases New E-Pedal For More Efficient Regenerative Braking

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Electric cars are slowly becoming more mainstream thanks to their better integration with autonomous systems and zero emissions. The Nissan Leaf has already debuted an integrated self-driving feature along with many other new advancements. Recently, Nissan announced an upgraded regenerative braking system known as the e-Pedal which only requires a single pedal. Stop by your local Monterey car dealership, Cardinale Nissan, to learn more about this advanced power saving technique.

–

What Is Regenerative Braking?

By making use of your car’s movement and kinetic energy, regenerative braking can store power for later use. Typical braking systems make no use of your car’s momentum, and are actively fighting against it when you try to come to a stop. Regenerative braking model harness, the kinetic energy and either store it for later use or make use of it almost immediately for some other purpose. Not only does this extend the vehicle’s range, it also causes less wear and tear on the brakes.

–

One Pedal System

In order to use regenerative braking, Nissan drivers only need to flick a switch and activate the new e-Pedal. Acceleration is achieved as usual by depressing the pedal, and the car decelerates when you let the pedal raise up again. This allows the vehicle to easily come to a full stop even on a steep hill, and instantly begin moving again when you are ready.

The 2018 Leaf and the e-Pedal will be available soon for test drives at Cardinale Nissan. We are also offering a variety of summer sales on new and used cars like the Nissan Altima, so visit www.cardinalenissan.com to find all our latest deals.

Keep Your Teen Safe On The Road With These Cardinale Nissan Tips

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Summer is a fun filled season for teens as they are out of school and ready to spend time with their friends. All around Monterey county they can find interesting events and trendy restaurant to hang out at. Anytime they drive with friends though, the chance for an accident increases, so here are a few safety reminders from Cardinale Nissan to keep everyone safe on the road.

–

Distracted Driving

Texting and cell phone calls are the biggest sources of distractions in a moving vehicle, as well as one of the leading causes of collisions. Always remember that a call or text can wait; it is more important to pay attention to the road and your fellow drivers as traffic can change in an instant. If you are traveling with others, have them hold and operate the smartphone if you need to use an app for navigation.

–

Seat Belts

In the event of a collision, seat belts can save lives and prevent serious injury to the head. Always remember to check if everyone in the vehicle is buckled up and secure before heading out on the road. It isn’t just the law, it’s the smart choice.

–

Weather

Weather can create hazardous road conditions on its own and make existing situations worse. Visibility will be lower, and narrow lanes such as in a construction zone or rough roads will become more difficult to traverse in a storm. Check the weather before you head out, and in extreme cases, consider pulling off to the side of the road and waiting for the storm to subside.

–

A safety award-winning car like the Nissan Altima or Nissan Maxima that follows a regular Cardinale Nissan service schedule is the best car for your teen to drive this summer. Our technicians will be happy to change your oil or replace old tires so your car drives safely. You can even book an appointment ahead of time at www.cardinalenissan.com.
