Altima® safety features

Advanced safety technologies

Nissan takes a comprehensive approach to safety – one that guides the engineering and development of every car we make. These features keep an eye on your vehicle’s systems, assist you in handling unexpected situations and can even protect you in the event of an accident.

Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)

When VDC detects over or understeer, the system can reduce engine power and apply brake pressure to specific wheels. [[8]]

Traction Control System (TCS)

TCS can sense wheelspin and respond by instantly reducing throttle, helping you regain traction and maintain control of your Altima.

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)

Altima’s Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) rapidly pumps the brakes during hard braking to prevent the wheels from locking and help you maintain control.

Advanced Braking

Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) sends extra force to the rear brakes when you have additional weight in the vehicle, while Brake Assist helps apply maximum force if it detects a hard braking situation. [[103]]

Nissan Advanced Air Bag System

The Nissan Advanced Air Bag System includes dual-stage supplemental front air bags with seat belt and occupant-classification sensors. It also comes with front and rear seat-mounted side-impact supplemental air bags and roof-mounted, curtain side-impact supplemental air bags with rollover sensors. [[14]]

LATCH and Snug Kids®

The LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) System lets you secure compatible child restraints in the back seat without having to use seat belts or a locking clip. Need some advice? The Snug Kids Child Safety Seat Fit Guide lists child seats that fit the rear seats of Nissan vehicles.
