Infiniti Safety Shield Your Guardian on the Road

A Comprehensive Suite of Driver-Assist Technologies

Infiniti’s Safety Shield® 360 represents a significant leap forward in automotive safety. It’s not just a collection of individual features; it’s a thoughtfully integrated system designed to provide a comprehensive layer of protection during every drive. This suite of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) works together seamlessly, enhancing your awareness and mitigating potential hazards before they escalate into accidents. The focus isn’t just on preventing collisions, but on fostering a more confident and comfortable driving experience. This holistic approach is what sets Infiniti’s Safety Shield® apart.

Intelligent Forward Collision Warning and Prevention

At the heart of Safety Shield® 360 lies the Intelligent Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system. This system uses radar sensors to constantly monitor the distance and relative speed of vehicles ahead. If it detects an imminent risk of collision, it will alert the driver with both audible and visual warnings. But FCW is more than just a warning system; it’s proactive. In many situations, if the driver doesn’t react quickly enough, the system can automatically engage the brakes, mitigating the impact or even preventing the collision altogether. This intelligent intervention is a game-changer, offering critical assistance in those crucial seconds where reaction time can be the difference between a near miss and a serious accident.

Blind Spot Intervention: Avoiding Hidden Dangers

Blind spot monitoring is a common feature in modern vehicles, but Infiniti takes it a step further with Blind Spot Intervention®. This system goes beyond simply alerting the driver to vehicles in their blind spots. If the driver attempts to change lanes while a vehicle is detected in the blind spot, the system will gently intervene, applying corrective steering torque to guide the vehicle back into its lane. This proactive intervention is particularly valuable in high-traffic situations or when drivers might be momentarily distracted. It helps to prevent accidents caused by drivers failing to notice vehicles lurking in their blind spots.

Lane Departure Prevention: Staying on Course

Staying within your designated lane is crucial for safety, and Infiniti’s Lane Departure Prevention (LDP) system helps drivers maintain their lane position. Using cameras and sensors, the LDP system monitors lane markings. If it detects that the vehicle is drifting out of its lane unintentionally—perhaps due to driver fatigue or distraction—it will provide gentle steering corrections to guide the vehicle back into its lane. This preventative measure can significantly reduce the risk of lane departure accidents, a common cause of collisions.

Rear Cross Traffic Alert: Navigating Busy Parking Lots

Backing out of parking spaces can be treacherous, especially in busy lots where visibility is limited. Infiniti’s Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) system enhances safety in these situations. Using sensors, the RCTA system detects approaching vehicles from either side of the vehicle as it’s backing up. If a vehicle is detected, the system alerts the driver with both visual and audible warnings, helping to prevent collisions with other vehicles or pedestrians.

Intelligent Cruise Control: Effortless Highway Driving

Long highway drives can be tiring, and Infiniti’s Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) helps to alleviate driver fatigue. This adaptive cruise control system maintains a pre-set distance from the vehicle ahead, automatically adjusting speed to maintain that following distance. This feature not only eases the burden of constant acceleration and braking but also helps to maintain a safe following distance, further reducing the risk of rear-end collisions. The combination of intelligent cruise control and other Safety Shield® features contribute to a more relaxing and safe driving experience.

More Than Just Features: A Holistic Approach to Safety

Infiniti’s Safety Shield® 360 is more than just a collection of individual safety features; it’s a comprehensive system designed to work in concert to enhance driver awareness and prevent accidents. The integration of these features creates a truly holistic approach to safety, providing drivers with a significant level of protection and peace of mind on the road. The focus on proactive intervention rather than solely reactive warnings is a key element of this advanced safety suite, making it a standout feature for discerning drivers who prioritize safety and technology.
