Experience The All New ProPilot Assist Feature Coming Soon To Cardinale Nissan

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Nissan is always looking for ways to make driving easier and safer for all, and the new Nissan ProPilot Assist technology does just that. It can help you maintain a safe distance behind other cars, stay within the lanes, navigate more efficiently and automatically park in any suitable space around Monterey. Cars like the Nissan Altima and Nissan Leaf will become far more enjoyable to drive, so be sure to stop by Cardinale Nissan once the 2018 models arrive.

–

Simplifying Tasks

There are many everyday tasks that drivers must accomplish, and one of the most difficult jobs is parking, especially on busy road. With the new ProPilot Park feature, your Nissan Maxima will quickly be able to automatically pull into in any space that is large enough, even if it requires parallel parking. By using various sensors and cameras, the car and accelerate, turn the wheel and brake to bring you into the desired spot.

–

Assisted Driving

The ProPilot system can’t take over all the functions of a car though, and it still requires the driver to have a steady grip on the wheel when using it on roads. When activated on a highway or while cruise control is enabled, the car will automatically keep the car a safe distance away from other vehicles at a speed set by the driver, as long as they keep at least one hand on the steering wheel. This is especially useful on long road trips or in highway traffic, and will help keep drivers safely in their lane and moving at the proper speed.

Cardinale Nissan will be happy to assist you with any questions about our cars or car buying process, just like the ProPilot Assist helps drivers. For more information and specifications about each of our models, visit www.cardinalenissan.com.

Get Your Hybrid Service At Cardinale Nissan

By
Posted in Uncategorized

 

Not only do cars in Nissan’s hybrid lineup benefit from increased fuel efficiency, they also need less service overall than most traditional cars. By making the choice to buy a hybrid from Cardinale Nissan, your car service trips will be less expensive and frequent, much like your trips to the gas station. Hybrid cars offer you the peace of mind in knowing that your investment will last longer and is more durable. Cardinale Nissan is also proud to offer the best car service around for the care your hybrid does need, so visit our Monterey car dealership today.

–

Engine And Battery Life

By alternating between two different engine types depending on speed, hybrid cars reduce the load on the combustion engine and shift it to the battery. Fortunately, the batteries in hybrid cars are extremely powerful and long lasting, and most drivers won’t need their battery replaced during the car’s lifetime. With an estimated lifespan of over 150,000 miles, Nissan batteries are built to last and will keep you powered for years. Fortunately, if you do need a replacement, the price of these batteries is dropping lower and lower each year and they are also recyclable.

–

Brake Pads

Where the hybrid engine truly shines in savings is with the brake pads. Thanks to regenerative braking, the car can take much of the kinetic energy that would be applied to the brakes and instead store it for later use. This relieves an incredible amount of stress from the pads as they receive less pressure. The regenerative process can save your thousands of dollars over the life of the car and increase your fuel efficiency if done properly.

Cardinale Nissan has the answers to any questions you may have about your hybrid or traditional Nissan. From the Nissan Rogue Hybrid to the award-winning Nissan Altima, our service department can get your car back on the road in no time, so book an appointment today at www.cardinalenissan.com.

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.

Try Nissan’s New Adaptive Cruise Control At Cardinale Nissan

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.

–

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.
