Nissan is a famously innovative automobile brand. You can witness the company's pioneering spirit reflected in the abundance of clever tech features in today's Nissan cars. Outlined below are four excellent examples. Pay a visit to your nearest Nissan dealership any time to learn which technological features come as standard or available in your favorite Nissan model. more ProPILOT Assist This hands-on driver assist system combines Steering Assist and Intelligent Cruise Control to automate your driving for long stretches of the highway. ProPILOT Assist keeps you safely at a preset distance from vehicles ahead, even when traffic slows down and comes to a halt, all the while monitoring lane markers and gently adjusting the steering to keep you centered in your lane. When Navi-Link is connected, the system can predict traffic conditions on the road ahead to better prepare and automatically adjust for upcoming changes in driving conditions. The additional Speed Adjust by Route and Speed Limit Assist features further help control speed in all situations, allowing for a smooth, safe, automated ride. Zero Gravity Seats Inspired by the weightlessness of space, Nissan's fantastically comfortable Zero Gravity Seats are designed to place the least amount of stress possible on your bones and joints.

With over a decade of engineering refinement, these patented seats are really something to try.

When equipped with this feature, Modern Nissan cars can use all the external cameras to create a composite birds-eye 360-degree image of your car and nearby obstacles to display on your dashboard's screen. The additional Moving Object Detection feature keeps any moving surrounding objects updated in the image in real-time. This technology makes for easier, more precise maneuvering and parking than ever before. Intelligent Key System No driver likes fishing around in their pocket or bag for keys every time they approach their car, especially if their hands are full. Neither does anybody enjoy the experience of realizing they've just accidentally locked their key inside their car. With Nissan's Intelligent Key System, you can put these issues behind you for good. All you need is to have your key fob somewhere on your person as you approach your vehicle. The car detects the key, knows it's you, and allows you to open your car door with the touch of a button.

The popular automaker's offerings also happen to provide exceptional fuel efficiency, adding to their already amazing value.

Tires are just as important to your safety on the road as your brakes. All it takes is a single puncture or moment of lost traction to potentially cause an accident. With this in mind, always watch out for the following indications of worn-down or damaged tires. If you notice any of these issues, it's a good idea to visit your local Nissan dealer for new tires as soon as you can. more Tread Depth Nears 2/32 of an Inch When your tires are brand new, the tread depth will be around 10/32 or 11/32 of an inch. Over time, this tread depth diminishes, until it becomes too shallow to safely hold traction on normal road surfaces. In the state of Indiana, the minimum legal tread depth is 2/32 of an inch for private vehicles and 4/32 of an inch for larger commercial vehicles. Make sure you replace your tires before the tread depth passes this limit. During winter, you may want to replace your tires when they reach about 5/32 of an inch as deeper treads are required to grip slippery winter roads. Overly Uneven Tire Tread Wear Tires tend to wear down at an uneven rate because there's an uneven distribution of weight and pressure at the front and rear of most cars. The tire movements during steering also result in a specific pattern of tread wear, and sometimes misaligned wheels or suspension can also cause uneven wear. Regular tire rotation will usually keep your tires from becoming too unbalanced. If you ever forget to have your tires rotated, they may become overly uneven, reducing your car's performance and potentially causing damage to other connected car parts. If your tires are very uneven, you may need to have all four replaced. Significant Cuts or Cracks in the Rubber Any cuts or cracks in the rubber of your tires that are deep enough to see the underlying layer put the tire at risk of blowing out. Shallow cracks or cuts that are over an inch in length, or reach around the edge of the tire, are also a danger to you on the road. Signs of Extensive Dry Rot Tires exposed to extremes in the weather or temperatures can sometimes develop dry rot. This rots and dries out the rubber, causing the tires to become brittle and dangerous to drive on. Dry rot usually makes the color of tire rubber fade from black to gray. If you think your tires may be worn out or damaged, visit Ed Martin Nissan of Fishers to have them replaced. We're a locally trusted dealership with highly qualified technicians and over 600 new Nissan vehicles in stock.

Towing and Hauling While the original Titan towing setup is already impressive at 9,323 pounds, the Titan XD's larger size and strengthened frame enable it to pull up to 11,033 pounds. Payload is also increased from 1,697 pounds to 2,406 pounds. Along with this increased capability, the larger Titan still boasts a great list of towing aids, including a tow-haul mode, trailer sway control, and a trailer light check system accessible from your Nissan Intelligent Key. Pro-4X Model The Titan XD features everything that makes for a strong off-roading vehicle: a rugged four-wheel drive system with shift-on-the-fly capability, a minimum clearance of around nine inches from the ground to the rear axle, and a heavily reinforced frame. The Pro-4x goes another step further with highly tuned Bilstein off-road performance shocks, chunkier and grippier all-terrain tires, large mud flaps, and a steel skid plate. This trim also comes standard with an electronic locking rear differential that helps to greatly reduce traction loss in especially tricky environments. An exclusive off-road display in the middle of the instrument panel displays pitch, roll, and the engagement status of the four-wheel-drive system. Passenger Cabin and Infotainment All Titan XD models come as a crew cab with spacious and comfortable seating for up to five occupants. In fact, it's so spacious that passengers in the rear seat can truly stretch out with 41.8 inches of legroom and up to 40.4 inches of headroom. An available heated steering wheel and seats, a memory system for the driver's seat, and a dual-panel panoramic moonroof all come together to provide an inviting space. The infotainment system is available with either an 8- or 9-inch with integration for iOS and Android phones, Bluetooth, and multiple USB ports. Long road trips can be extra fun when you add the mobile Wi-Fi hotspot, SiriusXM radio, and a premium audio system by Fender. If you've been desiring a bit of extra muscle to go with the Titan's legendary dependability, then now's the perfect time to experience it with the Titan XD!
