Drive Greener And Stay Safe Around Cyclists With These Tips

Drive Greener

Biking is a great workout that you also can use in order to save gas and lower emissions. If you only live a short distance from your work, biking there and back each day is an easy way to burn calories and save money. If your work is farther away and you still want to lower your gas bill, your local Monterey auto dealer, Cardinale Nissan, has a diverse lineup of hybrid and electric cars. We also have some great tips on how to share the road better with cyclists.

Driver Tips

Sharing the road with #cyclists is easier than you might think, and only takes a few adjustments to your normal routine. As you drive along, scan the right side of the road or the dedicated bike lane for any cyclists who may be up ahead. For areas without these specialized lanes, be extremely cautious when going around a cyclist. Remain a safe distance away, don’t honk and patiently wait for the ideal moment to pass. If there are complicating conditions like low visibility or a blind spot up ahead, consider holding off until a better opportunity arises.

Cyclist Tips

Both drivers and cyclists can contribute to making encounters safer for both parties. Anytime that you cycle in traffic, make your movements predictable by moving straight ahead on the right side of the road. This allows the drivers behind you to better judge your movements and determine when they will be able to safely pass. Any reflective clothing and other accessories that you wear also help drivers to recognize you at night time when visibility is low.

To keep your car from making any unexpected moves while out on the open road, begin a regular Nissan car service schedule with our experts at Cardinale Nissan. We will keep your car operating at peak performance levels, and you can even schedule service online at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Show Off Your Style In The New Nissan Juke

Nissan Juke

Driving is all about showing off your style in a car that you love to pilot. The Nissan Juke allows for an in-depth customization that no other cars offer, and driving a car you have designed makes each morning work trip enjoyable and refreshing. The Nissan Juke received new features with its 2017 remake along with a powerful engine. For a driving experience that is personal and fun, head over to a Monterey car dealership like Cardinale Nissan to design your own Juke.

The 2017 Juke update was all about increasing efficiency and power. The 1.6-liter Direct Injection Gasoline engine provides turbocharged acceleration, and by delivering additional fuel at perfectly timed intervals, the Juke has greater handling and fuel economy. Driving the new Juke is also safer thanks to Nissan’s Safety Shield technologies like an Around View Monitor that includes Moving Object Detection.

The Juke Color Studio is what really makes the car a one-of-a-kind customizable crossover. With this innovative tool, Juke buyers can easily pick and choose their favorite color for each surface of the car. From the interior trim to the main body color, you have full control over the final product. You can even try it for yourself before you head down to a Monterey auto dealer by visiting www.nissanusa.com.

You will enjoy your fully customizable #Juke as much as you enjoy the quality service offered by our friendly sales team at Cardinale Nissan. We can help you find and finance the car of your dreams, so visit us today at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Nissan’s Concept Car Gives Insight On Latest Altima

Nissan’s Concept Car

Auto Shows exist to give the public a preview of features to come in new cars that will be released soon at all dealerships, including Monterey auto dealers. The most direct way to preview a car is with a full working prototype, but this happens so late in the design process that other methods are preferred. The best method is with a concept car, which has all the design and technology features, but isn’t totally refined. Nissan’s latest Vmotion 3.0 concept car offers a look at upcoming sedan changes, and you will soon be able to test drive them for yourself at Cardinale Nissan.

The Detroit Auto Show was held earlier this year, and Nissan proudly displayed their Vmotion 2.0 concept car. It had a stylish design that featured more prominent edges, along with several upgrades to existing technology. This model was the first to incorporate Nissan’s ProPilot system, which allows for easy and autonomous travel on both highways and country roads. Look for this feature to roll out soon on the 2018 Nissan Leaf.

The #Vmotion 3.0 model that was recently unveiled builds upon the successes of the 2.0 design. This version has been modified to be fully electric to reduce emissions, and has several other efficiency changes. A flat battery was installed and replaced the large engine, allowing for a flat floor to be implemented. Some of the rougher edges of the 2.0 model have also been rounded out for a sleeker look, which will likely appear on the 2018 Nissan Altima.

Vehicles are constantly evolving, and these concept cars offer a first look at the future of driving. To test drive any of these models or see all the latest features they offer visit Cardinale Nissan in store or online at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Cardinale Nissan Can Fix Any Of Your Car Electrical Problems

Electricity is important for so much in our daily lives nowadays. From your alarm clock that goes off in the morning, to the light bulb that illuminates the house and the coffee pot you switch on for your morning cup, every modern convenience needs power. Your car also requires electricity, and regular Nissan car service will help keep everything running properly and reliably. For any electrical problem that your car may experience head over to a Monterey auto dealership like #CardinaleNissan to have it repaired in no time.

Battery Problems

The source for many electrical malfunctions is often the battery, which can also lose charge if you leave an extra light on or forget to turn off the headlights. Generally, you can simply use cables and another battery to jump it, but in rare cases the battery can be fully dead. Owning a backup is always nice, but if you don’t, Cardinale Nissan can supply and help install a new one.

Brake Lights And Headlights

Both sets of lights are critical to driving safely and alerting other drivers to your presence. The headlights pierce through the night and are even more important when driving through fog, which happens a lot on the coast. The brake lights signal to other drivers that you are slowing down so they can follow suit, and need to be fixed as soon as possible if they are not working.

Dashboard And Infotainment System

Being aware of measurements such as speed and engine temperature is important, and during the night can be nearly impossible without dashboard LEDs.  The infotainment system isn’t crucial to driving safely, but many features like Android and Apple Car Play, as well real-time navigation, are useful to have access to. If any of these electrical systems need fixing, don’t hesitate to visit Cardinale Nissan or schedule an appointment online at www.cardinalenissan.com.

See All The Incredible Stops On Monterey’s 17-Mile Drive In Your Nissan

Cars have many uses beyond just getting us from place to place. Sure, it’s important to have a car that will reliably drive you to work each morning and enough room for all the sports equipment that the kids need, but there are plenty of exciting adventures you can embark on in a Nissan. From exploring nature with an off-road equipped Nissan Titan to taking a road trip with some good friends, it’s easy to spend an afternoon in the comfort of your own car. At #CardinaleNissan, one of our favorite places to enjoy is 17-Mile Drive, Monterey’s scenic route on the California coast.

Scenic Locations

17-Mile Drive was described as one of America’s Most Scenic Drives by Travel + Leisure magazine. It winds down the open and beautiful coastline this county has, passing by iconic golf courses like Pebble Beach and gorgeous overlooks. At Huckleberry Hill you can view the ocean as it is framed by the Monterey Pines forest, and The Restless Sea stop provides an amazing view of the turbulent Pacific waves. Along the way you can also stop at several beaches that animals call home, including sea lions, otters and many species of birds.

Famous Stops

While nature accounts for many of the best stops on the route, there are several man-made locations that shouldn’t be missed. The Pebble Beach Golf Course is open to the public for putting and a tour of the incredible clubhouse. Afterward, be sure to head over to the Tap Room, a dedicated golf pub that is filled with historic memorabilia from the five U.S. Opens that have been held over the years at Pebble Beach. There are also a number of boardwalks along the way with different shops and entertainers.

The most important part of any journey on the 17-Mile Drive though is the car you experience it in, so head to Cardinale Nissan to browse our new models like the 2017 Nissan Altima. Come see why we are the best Monterey car dealership, or visit us online at www.cardinalenissan.com.
