Loughead Nissan knows that you do your absolute best to practice defensive driving and an important part of that is being mindful of your vehicle’s blindspot and the blindspots of vehicles around you. To help our community be as safe as possible while behind the wheel, our team wants to offer our tips on how to check and avoid blind spots. What is a blind spot you might ask? A blind spot is any area surrounding your vehicle that is not within your normal field of vision. Blind spots can also be created by dividers in your vehicle, headrests, cargo, and any number of other things. So how do drivers check and avoid these blindspots? One way to do it is with blind spot detection systems like we have in our 2022 Nissan models. As part of the Nissan Safety Shield® 360 system, our blind spot warning keeps an eye on blind spots and gives you a heads up if it detects anything there. If you want to learn more about any of the other safety features offered in our Nissan Safety Shield® 360 system, contact a Loughead Nissan team member and let us send you home safe and sound in a new 2022 Nissan today. How To Check & Avoid Blind Spots: Keep cargo out of fields of vision. We know sometimes this is unavoidable, but we suggest that when possible you stow your cargo below your window line so as to not create any more blindspots in your field of vision. Use the “over the shoulder check” method. This manual checking method isn’t our favorite as it does require that you take your eyes off of the immediate road for an extended period of time, but it is better than not checking your blind spots at all. Adjust your mirror. Properly adjusting your mirrors helps to minimize blind spots so when doing so from the driver’s seat lean slightly to the side of the mirror you're adjusting and move it so the side of your vehicle is just barely visible. Your rear view mirror should also be adjusted to give you a clear view through your back windshield of anything behind your vehicle. The Loughead team hopes these suggestions make your driving experience a safer one.

The snow is falling, winter is here, and we’re ready to conquer this winter with ease thanks to these five life hacks on this week’s blog. Whether you’re traveling or staying near this season, we encourage you to freshen up your winter skills and put them to good use. Need further assistance? Give us a call or schedule an appointment with our team online today. Ready to upgrade into a brand new Nissan?! Even better! We have plenty of brand new incentives happening right here at the dealership this winter. Check out those deals on our specials page and hurry on by to see our team for a test drive at your convenience! Emergency Kit: It’s always a good idea to be prepared in the event of an emergency, especially in the winter months. We encourage you to keep an extra coat, warm hat, gloves, and extra socks in your vehicle. It’s a good idea to keep a blanket, phone charger, flashlight, bottle of water, and a small non-perishable snack. Stop Foggy Windows: Foggy windows are no stranger in the winter season. And they can lead to potentially dangerous situations. Roll down your windows to quickly defog those windows or keep a clean chalkboard eraser in your vehicle to wipe away the fog. Keep Yourself From Getting Stuck: If your vehicle is a little on the lighter side, we encourage you to place a few bags of kitty litter in the back of your vehicle or trunk. This will aid in traction in the rear of your vehicle. And also keep a small shovel in the event you get stuck. Keep The Underside Of Your Vehicle Clean: It’s important to keep your vehicle clean all year long, but it’s especially important to keep the underside of your vehicle clean during the winter. Dirt, salt, and ice can accumulate underneath and cause erosion. Get a car wash on a warmer day and park your vehicle in the garage. Avoid Frozen Wiper Blades: Whether it’s a little snow or ice, no one likes frozen over wiper blades. We recommend leaving your wiper blades propped up when your vehicle is in park or place a pair of socks over the blades to keep them from freezing.

The holiday season is over, but winter is just beginning. We still have several months of winter weather ahead of us, and as many of you know, ever-changing and harsh weather conditions can be hard on your vehicle. That’s why it is important to keep your Nissan in tip-top shape with regular maintenance. The past couple of months has been pretty busy for all of us. Whether you’ve been running around getting gifts or traveling for the holidays, right now is the perfect time to pop open the hood and see what kind of condition your ride is in. Below you will find a maintenance checklist that is perfect for your ride’s checkup! However, if you don’t know much about your vehicle or you don’t have time to roll up your sleeves, don’t stress! Our team of certified technicians can get your vehicle back into tip-top shape in no time! Just head over to our website to schedule your service appointment now! Check and change the oil: Regular oil and filter changes will keep your engine’s life running longer Nothing will destroy an engine faster than neglecting oil-level checks or fresh-oil changes. Flush and change the cooling system: A 50/50 mix of coolant and distilled water will keep the cooling system in good shape and prevent corrosion and deposits from building up inside the cooling system. Be sure to change your coolant once a year Change out transmission and differential oils: While not requiring frequent service, these fluids must be changed according to service intervals. Before topping off fluids, be sure that it is the proper oil and transmission fluid needed for your vehicle Clean it up: Washing your vehicle is obvious, but when it comes to cleaning the vehicle’s underside many of us fall short. Everything the vehicle ran over can also get stuck to the underside, hosing off winter salt and road grime is a good idea to keep from corrosion or build up. Grease it up: Everything with moving parts needs grease to survive, make sure the proper vehicle parts remain greased as needed Wax on, wax off: Nothing keeps your vehicle’s paint looking good and protected like a coat of quality wax. Wax should be applied every six months. Keep Driveline components Lubricated: Driveline components such as u-joints also require regular lubrication Protect it from harmful UVs: Protect the interior plastic by parking the vehicle in the shade, harmful UVs can deteriorate the plastic On sunny days, be sure to use a window deflector screen Applying a UV protectant to prevent the plastic and vinyl from drying out can also help Keep your wheels fresh to death: Inspect, clean, and repack wheel bearings with wheel bearing grease according to service intervals This is a pretty cheap task so you won’t break the bank doing so. Top off your brake fluid: Brake fluid   moisture, which causes components to corrode and fail Replacing the brake fluid and bleed system once a year will keep from damage happening Brake fluid is pretty cheap Service Your Nissan Now: https://www.lougheadnissan.com/Service-Appointment-Scheduler.html
