Safety Features

The Nissan Altima has many safety features to keep you safe on the road, starting with the Nissan Advanced Airbag System. It has dual-stage supplemental front airbags with seat belts and occupant classification sensors, which means it can tell if someone is in the passenger seat and the airbag needs to be deployed. Roof-mounted curtain side airbags with rollover sensor help protect everyone in the cabin.

The zone body construction allows the Altima to crumple in the front and the rear, taking the shock of an impact, so your body doesn't have to. The energy-absorbing steering column is designed to prevent damage to the driver's chest. The hood of the Altima comes equipped with hood buckling creases, and safety stops as well.

Driver-Assist and Safety Technologies

Today, many vehicles on the road are equipped with driver-assist and safety technologies that help mitigate or prevent accidents. The Nissan Altima has its own suite of advanced features, including:

• Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection-The Altima has sensors to detect the road ahead for people and other vehicles. It warns you if it senses a potential accident and can even apply the brakes.
• Blind Spot Warning-This system helps your Altima check its blind spots. If there is a vehicle in your blind spot, it will warn you.
• Rear Automatic Braking-This feature keeps an eye out for stationary objects behind your Altima as you reverse. If it senses an object, it will let you know and can even stop the vehicle if needed.
