ROLLE, Switzerland (December 18th, 2013): Nissan is celebrating this week, as the manufacturer scooped this year's "SAFETYBEST 2013" award from AUTOBEST. The award, which recognises the very best in advanced safety systems, has been given to Nissan for its innovative Safety Shield system introduced on the all-new Nissan Note.
Ilia Seliktar, AUTOBEST Jury President, commented: "We're pleased to award the Nissan Note "SAFETYBEST 2013" for its innovative Safety Shield system. It's the first time such an advanced safety system has been offered to customers of small b-segment cars, marking a significant step forward in the safety of cars in this popular segment."
The SAFETYBEST award looks at new achievements in automotive safety and the judging panel was impressed by the new Nissan Note's Safety Shield system.
Dan Vardie, AUTOBEST Chairman, added: "This year, Nissan Safety Shield was triggering the attention of the Jury because is a new safety system based on things already existing but as a premiere for the small segment. It is simple but very effective, a relevant safety achievement for Nissan Note and an example to be followed by the competitors."
Nissan Safety Shield
The new Note is the first Nissan in Europe to feature the Safety Shield technology.
Linking three advanced systems, Nissan Safety Shield acts as an intelligent co-pilot to the driver to help them to make the best decisions in all situations. The system combines Lane Departure Warning, Blind Spot Warning and Moving Object Detection to bring premium technology to the small car sector for the first time.
Genuine engineering innovation has made this possible, with Nissan able to run all Safety Shield functions from one single wide-angle rear camera. What's more, to keep this camera operable in grimy conditions, Nissan has developed an intelligent automatic ‘wash and blow dry' facility to keep the lens clean.
Also making its segment debut is Nissan's acclaimed Around View Monitor, a feature that provides drivers with a remarkable 360-degree bird's eye view to take the stress out of reversing.
Both AVM and Safety Shield are incorporated into the new Note's enhanced NissanConnect satellite navigation, Bluetooth and audio system. Now benefiting from a larger 5.8-inch touch-screen display, the latest system includes Google® ‘Send to Car' navigation software allowing routes planned at home to be transferred directly to the car. Additional connected services include Google® Points of Interest (POI), nearest fuel prices, plus flight and weather information.
