Take Care Of Your Tires With Regular Service From Cardinale Nissan

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Just as important as getting your oil changed in extending the life of your vehicle is taking care of your tires. The roads are hot during the summer and with vacations and weekend activities, your car is likely driven much more than during other seasons. Due to the added wear and tear, a tire rotation, brake pad inspection or vehicle alignment could be needed sooner than expected. At our Monterey car dealership, our dedicated Cardinale Nissan service team can help make sure your tires are ready to tackle a summer adventure.

Why Is Tire Rotation Important?

By rotating each tire from one wheel to another, you can account for any extra wear and tear that a specific wheel experiences. For most cars, the outer edges of the front tires lean over more when turning and have more surface area exposed. Without a regular tire rotations, the increased strain will make it so that the front tires need replacing earlier than the back ones. Most tire stores offer discounts when you buy a full set of four, and ultimately rotating your tires will save you money and time.

–

Wheel Alignment

An improper wheel alignment occurs when the wheels become angled from their normal perpendicular position. The irregular movements caused by driving along bumps, holes or rough roads, the irregular movements can throw the tires out of alignment. Along with the added wear, your car can suffer from reduced handling and a lower gas mileage.

At Cardinale Nissan we will happily answer any service questions you may have about your new or used Nissan. Go online today to www.cardinalenissan.com to schedule an appointment in advance for your Nissan Altima.

Posted in Uncategorized

One of the biggest benefits of owning a hybrid or electric car from Cardinale Nissan is the incredible savings on gas. By using the electric motor at lower speeds such as in the city or in stop and go traffic, the car will consume less fuel because you don’t need to accelerate as often. Visit a Monterey car dealership such as Cardinale Nissan to learn about the fuel efficient Nissan Pathfinder, Rogue and Leaf and see why they are the future of driving.

–

Nissan Pathfinder

The largest hybrid model that Nissan offers is the Pathfinder, which offers all the premium features you expect of an SUV without the low fuel rating. Thanks to the hybrid engine, the Pathfinder earns 26 mpg combined and still sports three rows of seats and luxury accommodations.

–

Nissan Rogue

The recent success of the Nissan Rogue has been largely due to its optional hybrid engine and the flexibility it offers with seating. The car has an expansive storage area and rows of foldable seats that you can easily change depending on the number of passengers. The hybrid engine boosts the fuel economy by 6 mpg over the base model, making it perfect for family road trips and vacations.

–

Nissan Leaf

Electric cars such as the Nissan Leaf require no gas at all to run, only a quick and easy charge that can be done in as little as 30 minutes. The 2018 Leaf will have an effective range of over 200 miles, and with regenerative braking and Nissan’s charge stations across the country, there is no limit to where the Leaf can go.

Try Nissan’s New Adaptive Cruise Control At Cardinale Nissan

By
Posted in Uncategorized

The development of autonomous cars has brought many new features to other cars since research began. Technology such as blind spot recognition were made possible by advances in predictive and monitoring systems that self-driving cars need. Features like the new E-Pedal from Nissan make driving easier and more efficient, so be on the lookout at Cardinale Nissan in Monterey for Nissan’s latest improvements to the adaptive cruise control system.

–

Adaptive Cruise Control

Cruise control helps drivers deal with the stress and strain that comes from longer road trips and busy highway traffic. Adaptive cruise control will take this technology even further, allowing the car to monitor how cars around you are moving and adjusting the speed accordingly. This allows it to accelerate or slow down without needing a driver input. Alongside Nissan’s lane management system, adaptive cruise control will keep you centered and at the proper speed.

–

ProPilot Assist

Adaptive cruise control will be a part of Nissan’s reimagined ProPilot Assist program, which is there to help the driver, but not drive the car totally by itself. While it can provide assistance and relief to drivers, it is important to remain focused on the road ahead and ready for any sudden change. Road conditions can change in the blink of an eye, and you might encounter scenarios that even the most advanced system can’t predict. Nissan asserted that, “The driver’s role hasn’t changed. We are just providing assistance.”

Once the updated ProPilot system is integrated on cars like the Nissan Altima and Nissan Maxima, come into Cardinale Nissan for huge savings and friendly service. To see all of our available models or learn more about us, visit www.cardinalenissan.com.

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.

Get Your Car Ready For Summer Driving At Cardinale Nissan

By
Posted in Uncategorized

While people often discuss how winter weather can affect driving, summer weather is also a major concern for the longevity of your car. The added miles from road trips and kids taking the car out slowly adds up, and during these journeys the car is exposed to the warmer roads. All of the added stress on your vehicle can decrease its lifetime if not properly cared for with the appropriate Nissan service. Don’t hesitate to bring in your Nissan Maxima today to a Monterey car dealership like Cardinale Nissan to keep it running smoothly in the heat.

–

Coolant

In order to keep the engine at the ideal temperature during driving, coolant is circulated throughout the car. If the car runs too hot, it can interfere with fuel efficiency as well as possibly lead to permanent engine damage if the car overheats. With the added heat, the temperature can rise quite rapidly, so have our service experts make sure your coolant is topped off and no hoses are leaking.

–

Tire Damage

Proper inflation is always important to keep in mind no matter the season, but it is even more critical when tires are exposed to summer road temperatures. A low or high pressure tire will wear down much faster and reduce your fuel efficiency. Underinflated tires are less rigid and as a result have more surface area in contact with the hot road. This makes them more susceptible to a blowout, so have your tires checked before any longer trip.

Cardinale Nissan can perform a full inspection of your car to make sure it is ready for the road this summer. Go online to www.cardinalenissan.com in order to skip the wait and schedule an appointment ahead of time.
