Nissan QuestNissan loaded their best technology features on the 2012 Quest to give families the best features to make life safer and with less stress.

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) on the 2012 Quest gives the driver a warning when a tire is low. Quest takes the TPMS a step further with helping to make filling the tire up easy. As the tire begins to receive air, the lights will start flashing and once the tire hits the optimum air level, a soft horn will announce that the tire is at the right inflation.

The 2012 Quest looks to protect families in lane change accidents with the Blind Spot Warning System. When an object in the blind spot is found, an icon will display in the side mirror. If the driver turns on their signal to change lanes, the icon will appear and give an audio warning. The rearview camera on the Quest also helps families make sure there are no objects behind them in danger of being hit while reversing and helps make parking easier.

Families will love the 16.9” DVD viewing monitor which also includes inputs for game systems. Nissan has loaded so many extra features aside from great driving performance to help families travel easier, safer, and with a little more enjoyment.
