NOTES TO EDITORS
Nissan Safety Shield
The Nissan Safety Shield pack comprises the following three technologies:
- Blind Spot Warning
A feature once reserved for cars in the premium sector, Nissan's system uses the rear wide view camera to detect vehicles in the hidden blind spot areas on both sides of the Note. If a vehicle is detected in either blind spot, a discreet warning light illuminates in the glass of the Note's wing mirror.
- Lane Departure Warning
Another premium feature making its debut in the B-segment, Lane Departure Warning detects if the car is starting to drift out of lane. Advanced computer programming detects even faint road markings allowing the car to determine if it is drifting out of position without indicating. According to research, Lane Departure Warning systems could prevent nearly 1 in 10 accidents that occur when changing lanes on motorways. According to research, Lane Departure Warning systems could prevent nearly 1 in 10 accidents that occur when changing lanes on motorways. Driver inattention causes 78% of accidents, near-accidents and unintentional lane deviations according to recent reports.
- Moving Object Detection
Building on the capabilities of Around View Monitor, this new function effectively gives the driver a digital co-pilot to help them look at what might be approaching the path of their reversing Note.
Mounted on the tailgate and having a convex lens, the rear wide view camera has a sweep of vision in excess of 180 degrees, giving it an unparalleled field of vision at the back of the car. Images from the camera are displayed on the 5.8-inch NissanConnect touch screen.
