Nissan Feature Alert: Nissan’s Easy-Fill Tire Alert Offers Safety, Convenience, Time, and Money Savings | Charlie Clark Nissan Brownsville Blog

Making sure your tires are properly inflated is not only critical to ensuring safety, but properly inflated tires also improve fuel efficiency, ride comfort and more. How do you know if your tires are properly inflated when you have to fill them up on the road? What do you do where there is no tire pressure monitor, or in dealing with the fact that there is up to a 3-4psi variance from different types of tire pressure monitors? Keep reading to learn more about the new Nissan Easy-Fill Tire Alert system – a feature that will ensure your tires are always perfectly filled. Also, check out which new Nissan models are available at Charlie Clark Nissan in Brownsville, TX that offer this exciting and convenient new feature.

Improper Tire Inflation Poses a Safety Risk

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, tires that are underinflated by only 20% triple your chances of having a tire-related accident. They also report that improper tire inflation is noted in 11,000 accidents annually, causing more than 600 deaths. According to the studies, the effects of these crashes can be reduced to a great degree if the tires are properly filled.

Improper Tire Inflation Costs You Money

Low tire inflation is not only a safety risk for drivers but also costs them money due to premature tire wear and reduced fuel efficiency. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, four out of five consumers are driving with improperly inflated tires (either too much or too little air pressure). Driving with properly inflated tires would save those consumers as much as 11 cents per gallon on fuel and extend the life of a tire by 4,700 miles.

How the Nissan Easy-Fill Tire Alert System Works

With the ignition on, you start adding air to a tire. As you do, the turn-signal lights flash letting you know the vehicle has noticed what you’re doing. Once the correct pressure is reached, the horn honks to let you know it’s all set; if it gets too high, it’ll sound twice. It’s that simple!

Using Nissan’s Easy-Fill Tire Alert System is Convenient and Saves You Time

Nissan is offering the best technology to attain the recommended pressure within a few minutes, taking only half the time of the traditional tire gauge. Nissan's easy-to-use Easy-Fill Tire Alert helps consumers quickly and conveniently fill their tires, at a filling station or in the comfort of their own garage, to the correct pressures every time. This is all done without the need for a handheld pressure device or looking up the correct tire pressure numbers.

The Easy-Fill Tire Alert System is Available on Many Nissan Models

Nissan has already sold over 9 million vehicles equipped with the Easy-Fill Tire Alert System in the United States. This alert system is a standard feature on the brand's most popular models including the Versa, Sentra, Altima, Maxima, LEAF, Kicks, Rogue, Rogue Sport, Murano, Pathfinder, Armada, Frontier and TITAN.

2022 Nissan KICKS Announces Prices and Specs. Still a Great Value in a Sea of Expensive CUV and SUV Models! | Charlie Clark Nissan Brownsville Blog

Looking to buy a small and inexpensive crossover SUV? The 2022 Nissan Kicks might be worth checking out! Nissan currently produces three trim levels with attractive pricing, starting under $20K for the Kicks S model. Despite the low price point, the small crossover has interesting looks aimed directly at younger buyers. Kicks offers a long list of the standard and available features that have helped attract young, enthusiastic new buyers to both the vehicle and the Nissan brand.

Trimline MSRP Pricing

Currently, the S model begins at $19,700 and comes with 16-inch steel wheels, a keyless entry system, and power windows and locks. The mid-level Kicks SV starts at $21,550 and has additional body color components, silver roof rails, and 17-inch alloy wheels. Sitting at the top of the range is the Kicks SR, which begins at $22,240. It features a lightly revised exterior with LED headlights, a dark satin chrome grille, integrated turn signals in the mirrors, and a rear spoiler.

Fuel Economy

The standard fuel capacity is 10.8 gallons, which should provide around 330 miles of driving range per tank of fuel. Having an EPA rating of 31mpg city/36mpg highway/33mpg combined, the 2022 Kicks sips on fuel more like an economy car than an SUV, tying ratings with the comparable Toyota C-HR.

Best in Class Technology Features

Nissan’s infotainment system is intuitive and easy to learn; less daunting than the Honda HR-V’s system. Kicks features a 7-inch driver information display, a USB Type-C port, 8-inch infotainment system in SV and SR trims. All trim lines come standard with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, as well as available NissanConnect® Services that includes available Wi-Fi hotspot and remote vehicle commands. Adding the premium package upgrade to the SR trim adds the Bose® Personal Plus System, something no other competitor in its class offers.

Best in Class Safety Features

The Kicks earned a Top Safety Pick designation from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. It also earned a four-star rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Key safety features include lane departure warning, rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot monitoring, automatic high beams, automatic collision notification, and for peace of mind, standard Nissan SafetyShield®360 with class-exclusive rear automatic braking.

Best in Class Interior Dimensions

The 2022 Nissan Kicks has more front row legroom than the Kia Soul, the Ford EcoSport, and the Toyota C-HR. Drivers of the Kicks will find it's not just their legs that have ample room but with more front row head room than these competitors the Kicks is roomier from head to toe.

2022 Nissan LEAF, One of the Best Value in Electric Vehicles

The Nissan LEAF was the first mass-market EV ever to be put into production. Since its introduction in 2010, Nissan has gone on to sell over half a million LEAF vehicles, globally. It’s estimated that LEAF drivers have driven well over five billion environmentally friendly miles all over the planet.

The Nissan LEAF has always been a premier EV vehicle that scores highly in the ‘value’ department, but because of the cost of a brand-new Nissan LEAF, many customers have had to settle for a preowned vehicle. Nissan has announced that it intends to increase the accessibility of the latest model of the LEAF by lowering its MSRP. In addition, qualified LEAF buyers may be able to claim a federal tax credit of up to $7,500 for purchasing a new, environmentally friendly vehicle. The federal tax credit though is only eligible for the base model of the LEAF, the ‘S’ trim.

For Sheer Value in Electric Vehicles, it is Hard to Beat the 2022 Nissan LEAF

The latest release of the LEAF has a 40 KWh battery and a 110-kW motor that delivers 137 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque. It is available in both ‘S’ and ‘SV’ trims and has a range of just under 150 miles. The LEAF PLUS has an increased capacity 63 KWh battery and a 160-kW motor that delivers 214 hp and 250 lb-ft of torque. The larger battery increases the range of the LEAF to 226 miles and is available in three trims: ‘S PLUS’, ‘SV PLUS’ and ‘SL PLUS’.

The LEAF is a multi-award-winning vehicle. In April 2021, Autotrader included the Nissan LEAF within its list of the ‘ten best EVs for 2021’. All cars selected for consideration had to meet the following criteria: being priced under $75,000; having a plug or the capability to run solely on electricity for at least fifteen miles, and to have been available to the public to buy before November 2021.

Describing the LEAF, Autotrader said "Now in its second generation, it's still a strong contender on the more affordable side of EVs. The styling is sleek, the interior is roomy, and the base price is within reach of a wide range of shoppers."

The Kelley Blue Book Has Also Handed the Nissan LEAF an Admired Accolade

The Kelley Blue Book (KBB) is a trusted source of information for people looking to purchase any kind of automobile and has been since 1926. The KBB annually gives out ‘5-Year Cost to Own’ awards, and in 2021 the Nissan LEAF has been in receipt of an award. The award is giving to vehicles that the KBB ascertains give the most value to owners over a five-year period. It is the fourth year running that the Nissan LEAF has won the award for the EV category.

"Choosing a car with low ownership costs can help shoppers save a significant amount of money over time – often several hundred and sometimes even thousands of dollars – so it’s worthwhile to research the cost to own details of any new car you’re considering,” said Eric Ibara, director of KBB.

If you want value from your EV vehicle, then you should certainly look no further than a Nissan LEAF, and you should look no further than the Charlie Clark Nissan showroom in Brownsville. We without fail have an outstanding selection of Nissan LEAF vehicles available for purchase, both new and pre-owned.
