Enhance Your Next Camping Experience With The Nissan Titan XD Pro-4X

By

Nissan Titan XD Pro-4X

Lately, car manufacturers have been dedicating resources to producing off-road vehicles. A little adventure is fun, and with new trucks like the Chevy Colorado ZR2 and the Ford F-150 Raptor, it’s easier than ever to head onto the dirt trails. Nissan recently unveiled their latest off-road specialist, a modified Titan that offers a whole suite of outdoor features, such as off road tires and expanded storage capabilities. To experience the epic number of new features and upgrades this truck has, visit a #Monterey car dealership like Cardinale Nissan.

–

The new Titan Pro-4X is aimed at making camping or spending the night off-road an easier task for both beginners and experts. The 5.0-liter Cummins V8 provides the extra low-end torque that is necessary for crawling over rocks and other debris you might encounter. The tires have also been specialized by making them larger and thicker to provide better traction and grip on dangerous surfaces. Front and rear bumpers protects the car from getting damaged while traversing natural terrain, and rock sliders have been added to protect the bottom of the car from larger rocks.

–

Several pieces of equipment have also been integrated into the design to make packing easier. A Leitner Designs Overland bed cage and Rhino Pioneer Rack provide extra storage and a sturdy base for a CVT Stargazer Tent. This luxurious tent easily folds out from the top of the truck and even has an easy access ladder. The Titan Pro-4X has been appropriately nicknamed “Project Basecamp,” as it acts as a perfect base of operations.

–

Cardinale Nissan is the only Monterey auto dealer where you can experience the versatility and sheer number of features that Project Basecamp offers. Whether you are looking for a sedan like the Nissan Altima or a truck like the Nissan Titan, you can browse all our new and used models at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Get The Most Out Of Your Tires By Inflating Them To The Right Pressure

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Tire Inflation

No matter where you drive to, you rely on your tires to deal with the road. On the smooth highways of Monterey, they help you navigate the lanes, and on bumpy roads they manage the uneven terrain. The treads on your tires will eventually wear down, but having underinflated or overinflated tires can increase the wear and tear they receive. Our experts at #CardinaleNissan can help show you how to properly inflate your tires to the optimal pressure.

–

Overinflation

Overinflated tires are extremely dangerous because of their sensitivity and rigidity. Your tires need a little leeway in order to curve with the road and properly bend, but tires with extra air will hit each bump and hole with full force. This will ultimately lead to a rocky and unpleasant driving experience, and your tires will be more vulnerable to being punctured by sharp rocks or other debris.

–

Underinflation

Underinflation isn’t as rough or dangerous as tire overinflation, but it will cause the tread to rapidly wear down. A less firm tire will have more of its surface in contact with the road. This larger surface of contact will generate heat much more rapidly, greatly reducing your fuel efficiency and damaging the treads.

Every tire set, including the one on your Nissan, has a specific pressure it need to be inflated to in order to function efficiently. Your car’s manual will have this pressure, and you can check the inflation level with a psi meter. If you need assistance with this or any other Nissan car service, Cardinale Nissan is just a few minutes away.

The Versatile Nissan Rogue Will Is Fit For Any Driver

By
Posted in Uncategorized

2017 was a huge year for the Nissan Rogue, as its yearly update brought substantial changes. Nissan created a perfect blend of sport, safety and style that when combined with its fuel economy and price has made it Nissan’s best selling model. To experience all these new features and customization options at a Monterey car dealership, head down to #CardinaleNissan.

–

The introduction of a hybrid engine option was the most anticipated change for the Nissan #Rogue this year. The 2.0 L engine provides a substantial amount of power and acceleration, but also sports an EPA estimated 33 mpg, so you can avoid the summer gas price hikes. The Rogue’s immense popularity has caused Nissan to introduce several special editions of the car. The Nissan Rogue Sport is smaller and more affordable, while still offering many of the same features, and the heavily requested Midnight edition includes a full black redesign.

–

One of the more overlooked but vitally important updates the Rogue received was the addition of several premium safety technologies. Features like a Blind Spot Monitor notifies you if a car passes through the area when you are about to change lanes, while the Forward Emergency Brake can avoid impending collisions. The Lane Departure Warnings prevent the driver from swaying out into busy traffic, and improved traction control makes wet and uneven roads easy to handle.

–

The best way to see why the Nissan Rogue rapidly became Nissan’s best selling car is to hop behind the wheel and take a test drive for yourself at Cardinale Nissan. You will also find great deals on all our new and used models like the Nissan Altima, so head over to www.cardinalenissan.com.

Meet The All-New Nissan Rogue Sport

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Nissan Rogue Sport

Thanks to its incredible versatility and power, the Nissan Rogue has become Nissan’s top selling model. This unique crossover combines a high fuel economy with a comfortable interior, and it even has a hybrid engine option that lowers emissions and raised fuel economy. Some drivers don’t need the large space a crossover offers though, so Nissan has created the all-new 2017 Nissan Rogue Sport, a smaller car that will debut at Monterey auto dealers like Cardinale Nissan by the end of May.

–

Many drivers simply don’t need the additional space that a full-size crossover offers. The Rogue Sport is lighter, smaller and more importantly cheaper, making it a better fit for single drivers. It will also include all the luxury and safety features that makes the #Rogue so appealing, such as adaptive cruise control and premium interior seating. Other notable safety features include blind-spot alerts and autonomous front emergency braking that can stop the car in the event of an impending collision.

–

The new Rogue Sport has already found success in other countries, thanks to its compact design. When it reaches North America, the car will be ideal for city drivers who are want the features that a larger SUV offers, but in a smaller and more nimble design. The car also sports a voice activation setting for the touchscreen infotainment system, so you can change the navigation or skip a song without taking your hands off the wheel.

–

Be on the lookout for exciting release offers at Cardinale Nissan, your local Monterey car dealership. Come test drive any of our exceptional models and find your new dream car, or you can browse our whole inventory online at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Nissan Develops New Solution To Distracted Driving

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Distracted Driving

Distracted driving due to smartphones is a dangerous and worrying trend among drivers today. Traffic on busy roads or on a highway can change in the blink of an eye, and it can be hazardous to look away for even a second. At Nissan, we are committed to finding solutions to safety problems, so be on the lookout for the Signal Shield at Cardinale Nissan, your Monterey car dealership.

–

The Signal Shield is an experimental new approach at preventing distracted driving by temporarily preventing the phone from connecting to the outside world. This small box clips onto the driver’s armrest and blocks the phone inside from getting or sending any WiFi, Bluetooth or phone signals. Nissan is hoping this will remove the urge to constantly be glancing down looking for new notifications or text messages. Drivers will still be able to use the media functions though, thanks to a small hole which provides just enough room for an auxiliary cable.

–

A Signal Shield box is essentially a miniature Faraday cage, which blocks whatever is inside from receiving any outside #signals. Many states already discourage distracted driving by making cell phone usage illegal while driving, and Nissan is hoping this device can help avoid any other unnecessary cases of distracted driving. When describing the development of the Signal Shield, a Nissan spokesman stated that, “Nissan is always looking at new ways of improving the safety and well-being of our customers.”

If you are looking for exceptional safety standards, you can’t go wrong with a new or used car from Cardinale Nissan. From the brand new Nissan Altima to the redesigned Nissan Leaf, it’s easy to save money at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Visit Homes Of Famous Authors Around Monterey – Steinbeck House

Posted in Uncategorized

Steinbeck House

Monterey county is home to many historic locations and residences, many of which have been called “home” by famous people. The beautiful scenery of the bountiful valley has inspired several writers, who have described everything from the hard-working locals to the glistening sea. At Cardinale Nissan, we are proud to be a part of this community that has fostered such incredible works of art. Here are some of our favorite historic homes in Monterey, which you can easily get to in a new or used Nissan Altima.

–

Cannery Row

John Steinbeck is one of America’s best known authors, and has received critical acclaim for his fictional stories of life in the West. He was born about 30 miles from #CanneryRow, and spent most of his life in Pacific Grove. Here he gathered writing material for his novels by observing the fish packing plant and the surrounding bordellos and flophouses, and immortalized this street in his fittingly named book, Cannery Row. He also made friends with Ed Ricketts, a marine biologist at the Biological Laboratory and primary inspiration for the character “Doc.” Cannery Row largely consists of museums today, and you can learn more about the historical plant and its operations on a guided tour.

–

Stevenson House

The Stevenson House was named for legendary author Robert Louis Stevenson, who stayed in this shelter in 1878. This two-story home acted as a refuge for families, artists and workers back in the Mexican era, and it was here that Stevenson met his future wife. During his stay, he also penned one of his early works, Old Pacific Capital, and nowadays the Robert Louis Stevenson Club of Monterey keeps this old home open for tours.

There are plenty of Monterey car dealerships, but the only place to find exceptional deals on both new and used Nissan models is Cardinale Nissan. Our unbeatable prices and focus on customer satisfaction means buying a car from us is easy, so visit us in store or online at www.cardinalenissan.com.

The Beach Trail begins at the parking lot and circles around to the ocean, and is an easy walk at only 1.6 miles. Along the way you may get a glimpse of birds or other small wildlife enjoying the dunes, and down at the waterfront there are almost always otters playing in the ocean.
