INFINITI offers many unique advantages to car shoppers, making it the obvious choice for those who enjoy the best of the industry. When it comes specifically to technology, the brand is a leader on many fronts. Drivers and passengers alike enjoy excellent aids and comforts as a result, filling them with confidence and keeping them well-connected no matter where they venture. Here are our 5 favorite features available on INFINITI models today:

1. Smart Keys for Smart Owners

The Intelligent Key technology provides INFINITI owners with tremendous convenience. As the driver approaches, the vehicle actually detects that the key is near, no matter if it is in a purse, pocket or anywhere else. The driver only has to push the button on the door handle to actuate the locks. Of course, owners can lock or unlock the car when they’re further away by pressing the corresponding button.

Instead of inserting the key in the ignition, drivers only have to press the Start button to fire up the engine. As long as the key stays inside the car, it will continue to operate normally. Pressing the Start button again shuts off the engine.

2. Keeping Your Bumpers Dent-Free

One key safety technology is INFINITI’s Forward Emergency Braking, which actually calculates the distance between the car and the vehicle in front of it. Through constant monitoring, the system detects the first indications of a possible collision, warning the driver of the situation so the appropriate action can be taken. A two stage waring system is part of the technology, with the first stage telling the driver through visual and audio alerts that a risk has been detected. The system actually pushes the accelerator up, and if the driver stops pressing on the accelerator partial braking starts. The second stage warns of a possible collision, using more warnings and automatically braking even harder, all in an effort to mitigate or hopefully avoid the accident.

3. Connecting You and Your Car

Connectivity is a part of everyday life. For example, you carry a phone that can instantly put you in touch with people all around the world, through a variety of methods. To address this need to connect constantly, the INFINITI InTouch system leverages the latest technologies. Drivers can customize the menus on the touchscreen. The INFINITI Connection feature can help vehicle owners remember appointments and other important things. It also automatically can call for help after an accident and report if the vehicle has been stolen. Drivers can use a mobile device to remotely lock and unlock the doors, plus receive maintenance alerts.

4. Seeing Where You Can’t

The Around View Monitor technology provides greater security and confidence than other onboard camera systems, helping INFINITI to stand tall among the competition. It virtually eliminates all blind spots for the driver, helping when maneuvering through parking lots or other tight spots. This is done with four different cameras mounted strategically on the vehicle, providing a 360-degree view of its surroundings. The current version includes Moving Object Detection, which alerts the driver when movement is detected anywhere around the car, keeping everyone safe.

5. Adapting to Your Drive

A first in the automotive industry is Direct Adaptive Steering, a technology that allows the driver to choose one of three steering modes that best suits the situation. Thanks to groundbreaking electronics, the vehicle’s steering mechanism has been improved, actually giving drivers a feeling of greater precision. The feature is especially useful when driving over roads with rough patches or potholes, because the system factors those out and eliminates the need to constantly adjust the steering angle. Even vibrations from the road are isolated, translating into a smoother and more enjoyable experience for the person behind the wheel, every time.
