Honda Indonesia has just introduced the CR-V which is equipped with a safety device called Honda Sensing. Honda's security system is fairly sophisticated, consisting of various features that help the driver's safety. Actually, the Indonesian market has a vehicle with a security system that is not inferior. Found on the Nissan X-Trail.
The refresh of the Nissan X-Trail T32 two years ago was not limited to mere looks. Many new features are embedded, which has never existed before. All advanced systems that support comfort and safety are incorporated in Nissan Intelligent Mobility (NIM). There are many varieties, making the X-Trail the smartest SUV in its class. You could say, NIM is as sophisticated as Honda Sensing.
What does he have? Here we describe one by one:
Intelligent High Beam Assist
Starting from the very front, to be precise the lighting sector. The projector LED lamp is equipped with the Intelligent High Beam Assist feature to maintain the safety of other drivers. When it's dark and you need to turn on the headlights, the headlights will automatically change to near lights when it detects a vehicle from the opposite direction. Once that passes, the light returns to remote mode. Of course not to dazzle other motorists, so it does not have a fatal impact. A camera on the top windshield is in charge of detecting the car in front.
Intelligent Around View Monitor with Moving Object Detection
Now is not the time to be confused about estimating the area around the car when it is parked. Four camera points on each side that form a 360-degree angle, capable of showing the surroundings of the car that are difficult to observe. Precisely located on the grille, the two outside mirrors and the trunk door. Handy for parking, no more need to stick your head out. Simply monitor via the monitor screen. This feature was added to detect moving objects. When you find an animal or human being in the camera's surveillance, the signal immediately sounds giving a warning.
Intelligent Blind Spot Warning
The human eye has blind spots, or corners that cannot be seen. While driving can be a problem when an object or other car cannot be detected by the eye itself. Usually a car or motorbike is on the side behind us. This is what Intelligent Blind Spot Warning is for. There is a warning in the form of a light on the A pillar to indicate there are other vehicles that cannot be seen. When on, do not move and stay in the lane until the warning light goes out.
Intelligent Rear Cross Traffic Alert
This feature is very useful if we want to exit the parking lot with a reverse process. In that state, of course, you can't see any other cars or motorbikes that will pass. Well, the point of this Intelligent Cross Traffic Alert is to detect other vehicles while backing up. Using radar, the monitored area reaches 20 meters. If there is a car running, the sound and warning lights will be heard immediately.
Intelligent Lane Departure Warning
Roads that have markings are useful in regulating the flow of traffic in a neat and orderly manner. Many incidents occur due to negligence not complying with them. Changing lanes should not be done arbitrarily. You need to signal the turn signal for other cars to know. Use this feature to remind it. Without activating the turn signal and then changing lanes, a warning sound will appear. It is also very useful for safety. Signals are able to tell that we are out of lane without realizing it. Radar continues to read road markings passed. This system is very helpful in preventing accidents.
Intelligent Forward Collision Warning and Intelligent Forward Emergency Brake
Duty to reduce the fatal impact of a collision with the vehicle in front. If you get too close to the car in front, a warning light and sound will appear. It's a sign that you have to keep a safer distance. If the front car brakes suddenly and the driver brakes too late, the system will automatically apply the brakes to avoid a collision. The radar behind the Nissan logo continuously monitors the distance from the vehicle in front.
Intelligent Cruise Control
This is the first new feature in its class. Functions the same as adaptive cruise control, which automatically maintains distance and keeps pace with the car in front. After activating cruise control and determining the desired distance, the driver can release the gas pedal but still have to control the steering wheel. When the front car slows down, the X-Trail slows down and maintains a safe distance. It can even stop, but the system will turn off if it stops for more than 3 seconds. Driving on the Trans Java toll road is definitely more comfortable and less tiring.
