Stay Safer On The Road With The Upcoming 2018 Pathfinder At Cardinale Nissan

Distracted driving is one of the most common causes of accidents on the road, whether it is simply the mind wandering or looking a phone while driving. On average, 8 people die and over 1,000 are injured each day as a result of human error or forgetfulness, so Nissan is implementing several new features on upcoming models to combat distracted driving. There are even features to help prevent parents from leaving their kid inside a hot car. Look for these features on 2018 vehicles at Cardinale Nissan, your number one source for new and used cars in Monterey.

Rear Door Alert

Leaving kids or pets in the car during warm months can be extremely dangerous, and the Rear Door Alert system will help remind parents with a sound or car horn. By checking and remembering if a rear car door was opened before a trip started, this feature will alert drivers if the rear door hasn’t been opened again once the trip ends. The feature will first be available on the 2018 Nissan Pathfinder, a safe and family friendly car that combines luxury and practicality.

Highway Safety Features

Anytime you travel at high speeds, the consequences of distracted driving will be more severe and more likely to happen as traffic can change in an instant. Many drivers often consult their phone for directions, but Nissan’s advanced navigation display can both find the fastest route and be displayed between your speedometer and tachometer. This allows you to get directions and return your eyes to the road faster than ever. Other features such as Lane Keep Assist and Blind Spot Warning keep you wary of your car’s position relative to other vehicles.

Cars like the Nissan Maxima and Nissan Pathfinder help keep families and drivers safer, so visit Cardinale Nissan today to find a vehicle that fits your budget and lifestyle.

Experience The Beauty That Lies Off-Road In Any Nissan Car

With all the nature and scenic sites around Monterey, being able to head off-road in your car opens up numerous opportunities. Going off-road lets you escape the busy city traffic and spend some quality time with friends and family while surrounded by beauty. Contrary to popular belief though, you don’t need a rugged ATV or heavy duty truck like the Nissan Pathfinder to tackle the rough roads, and at Cardinale Nissan we can help you transform your car into the ultimate off-road machine.

The tires on your Nissan make the biggest difference when traversing uneven terrain. They will be under much more stress on rocky ground, and four all-terrain tires will make the ride safer and smoother. Try to find a tire with a tread that is well suited for gripping loose surfaces and has a wide sidewall. If your car generally uses smaller tires, a wide sidewall will help maintain balance and grip the road better. Another major benefit of #all-terrain tires is their enhanced resistance to punctures from sharp rocks and surfaces you might encounter.

Because getting car service is much more difficult while off-road, it is important get your car inspected for any potential problems before heading out on a longer trip. Our service department at Cardinale Nissan can make sure your car is running at maximum efficiency, as well as see if any fluids need replacing. We will also check that your all-terrain tires are properly rotated and aligned to reduce any added strain.

If you have any other concerns about your Nissan Altima or other Nissan model, be sure to visit our service professionals at Cardinale Nissan. You can easily schedule Nissan car service online as well as browse our entire inventory at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Try Out The Nissan Pathfinder, A Kelley Blue Book Best Family Car

 One of the biggest tests of any vehicle’s performance is how it stands up to competitors in head to head tests. Kelley Blue Book compares cars each year to find the ones that stand out in different categories, and the category that matters to us the most at Cardinale Nissan is the Best Family Car. The Nissan Pathfinder has been on this award winning list for several years running, so come experience what makes this SUV a great family vehicle.

Of all the important traits a car can have, Kelley Blue Book notes that, “one of the most critical factors when considering a family-focused vehicle is its ability to please the people it carries.” The Pathfinder has high marks in that area, thanks to the big cabin and seating space that are easy to maneuver in and out of. A new development for this model year is the EZ Flex and Glide System, which makes attaching and securing a child seat simple and it allows improved access to the third row of seats. The base 16 cubic feet or storage can be expanded into a whopping 80 cubic feet by arranging the seats so you can hold all your picnic supplies or sporting equipment.

 

Other notable features that Kelley Blue Book particular enjoyed were the advanced safety features and “dynamic driving experience” that can only be created by the #Pathfinder. Under the hood you can find a 3.5-liter V6 that uses an Xtronic Continuously Variable Transmission that makes accelerating smooth and quick. To keep your family safe, the Pathfinder features Blind Spot Warning and Rear Cross Traffic Alerts to track any dangerous movement around your vehicle. The car also earned acclaim from the NHTSA and IIHS for the Forward Emergency Brake that monitors the road and prevents head on collisions.

Tech Features of the Nissan Pathfinder

 2016-nissan-pathfinder-arctic-blue-metallic-parked-in-wooded-area-large

The Nissan Pathfinder is built to haul. It has a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 LBS with its 3.5 liter V6 engine pumping in seamless power. Fuel efficiency is kept optimum so that heavy adventures can be easily done and no work is too much for the Pathfinder. The proof is totally in the numbers: the vehicle has a hefty 260hp and 240-lb-ft of torque. The maximum towing capacity is 5,000 pounds- the best in its class. To put it short, it does not matter whether you are driving to the marina, or simply leaving civilization for the weekend, just hook up the camper, boat or trailer and then go. Simple!

While driving, you could select between 2WD, 4WD or even Auto Mode. Turn the car’s All Mode 4x4i Dial. You will find it behind the gear shift. This will enable you to lock to 4WD on tough terrain and in changeable weather. For better mileage, turn switch into 2WD. If you are driving through rough terrain or slippery roads, the Auto Mode automatically adjusts the power to each of the wheels. After things become calm, it automatically reverts to 2WD.

The Pathfinder is equipped with class exclusive XTRONIC Continuously Variable Transmission. This technology negates the need for gears through the use of precise metal drive chain in lieu of standard fixed metal gears. This transfers power from engine to wheels much more smoothly and effectively. You get perfect speed and improved fuel economy. For the best Nissan drive experience, come to Cardinale Nissan in Seaside.

Xtronic Transmission in the Nissan Pathfinder

2016-nissan-pathfinder-side-view-gun-metallic-large

The Xtronic CVT in Nissan Pathfinder does not employ standard gear ratios. There are two steel pulleys that are hydraulically operated in its place. The pulleys are linked by metal chain link. When you press the accelerator, the sides of v-shaped pulleys may pull apart or push together to vary the chain position on pulleys.

Since the movement of the belt is seamless between gear ratios, this Xtronic transmission does not shift in the standard sense. It means you do not suffer the shift shock, which comes across a jolt during the power loss while shifting in automatic transmission, is not there anymore. The quality of driving is much improved due to this.

Since there is no need for gears, the Xtronic CVT can do two things for improving the fuel economy. The first one involves the transmission- which permits the Pathfinder’s engine to operate at peak efficiency at all times. The second involves the advantage of gear elimination. Since there are no gears, no friction exists during the shifting.

Efficiency increases due to less friction so the fuel consumption is also less. Friction equals heat and when there is excessive friction, it may cause fatal damage to the car’s moving parts. Since this CVT technology utilizes fewer moving parts, there is also less friction. The durability of the transmission is also increased. The Xtronic transmission thus has a longer life cycle compared to the standard transmission.

Find out more about the wonderful technology and feel the thrill too by driving down to Cardinale Nissan at Seaside, California.
