Safety Shield® 360

Monitor, respond, protect

It’s nice to have a little backup when something unexpected happens. Maxima provides a suite of
Nissan Intelligent Mobility™ features that can step in and take action to help keep you out of trouble. [[288]][[419]]

Intelligent Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection

Maxima monitors your speed and the distance between you and the car ahead, and can even let you know when to slow down. [[64]] It can also automatically engage the brakes to help avoid a frontal collision or lessen the severity of an impact. And when it detects a pedestrian in the crosswalk, it can stop you in your tracks.

Rear Intelligent Braking

Save your bumper. Maxima with Rear Intelligent Braking watches out directly behind you for stationary items you might not see. [[328]] If it detects something and you fail to stop, it can automatically engage the brakes to help avoid a rear collision or lessen the severity of an impact.

Blind Spot Warning

Wait. Was that a car over there? Maxima with Blind Spot Warning keeps an eye on the blind spot area and gives you a heads up if it detects a vehicle hiding there. [[90]]

Rear Cross Traffic Alert

Fear no parking lot. When you’re backing out of a space, Rear Cross Traffic Alert watches around the rear of your Maxima and can warn you about cars it detects on either side. [[22]]

Lane Departure Warning

Hold it right there. Lane Departure Warning helps ensure you change lanes only when you mean to. [[309]] If the system detects that you’re drifting over, haptic feedback on the steering wheel can let you know. 

High Beam Assist

High Beam Assist helps out with night vision, while being considerate of your fellow drivers. It automatically switches to low-beam headlights when it detects a vehicle ahead, and turns the high beams back on when you need them.

for you and your fellow drivers. [[30]]

Intelligent Cruise Control

Go with the flow. Standard Intelligent Cruise Control watches the flow of traffic to take the tedium out of your commute. [[21]] The system helps maintain an adjustable speed and set distance between you and the car ahead.

Intelligent Lane Intervention

Stay between the lines. When lane markings are clear, the available Intelligent Lane Intervention can detect if you’re straying out of your lane and can tap the brakes to help gently guide you back. [[20]]

Intelligent Forward Collision Warning

What’s up ahead? Intelligent Forward Collision Warning watches the two cars in front of you. When it detects sudden deceleration in front of you, it warns you to slow down. [[23]]

Intelligent Around View® Monitor

Keep your pride and rims intact. The available Intelligent Around View® Monitor makes parking easy with a virtual composite 360° bird’s-eye view of your Maxima. [[285]] You can select from split-screen close-ups of the front, rear and curbside views for a better look. It also gives you an on-screen heads up when it detects moving objects near your vehicle. We’re looking at you, shopping cart.

Safety features

Looking out for you

The Maxima comes with Nissan Advanced Air Bag System featuring front air bags with seat belt and occupant-
classification sensors.[[7]] But that’s just the start of what the Maxima offers to help keep the driver and passengers safe.

Anti-lock Braking System

Under certain hard-braking situations, the ABS is able to pump the brakes faster than you possibly can. This helps to prevent wheel lockup and allows you to continue steering while braking heavily.

Brake smarter

Brake Assist detects when you slam on the brakes in emergency situations, and helps to apply maximum braking force. [[146]] The Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD) system is designed to send extra force to the rear brakes when there’s extra weight in the back.

Traction Control System

The Traction Control System (TCS) means you won’t waste power just spinning the tires. When it senses driver wheelspin, it responds by reducing throttle or applying brake pressure to specific wheels.

Confidence-inspiring technology

In slick road conditions, Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) monitors steering and braking, and responds by reducing engine output and/or applying brake pressure to specific wheels. [[8]]

Zone body construction

This advanced body construction combines impact-absorbing structures with a high-strength cabin, which helps provide protection for you and your passengers.

Nissan Advanced Air Bag System

The advanced airbag system includes dual-stage supplemental front airbags with seat belts and occupant-classification sensors. [[157]]

Tire Pressure Monitoring System with Easy-Fill Tire Alert

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) lets you know whenever a tire is low. Plus, the Easy-Fill Tire Alert takes the guesswork out of filling your tires by a beep of the horn once you’ve reached the correct pressure. [[296]] [[53]]

LATCH and Snug Kids®

The LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) system lets you secure compatible child restraints in the back seat without a seat belt or locking clip. Nissan’s Snug Kids® is our Child Safety Seat Fit Program.
