STAY SAFE WITH A BLIND SPOT MONITOR

At Coyle Nissan, we find that many of our consumers prefer vehicles that are equipped with the most innovative safety features on the market. One popular safety feature is a Blind Spot Monitor. A Blind Spot Monitor can help you be more aware of traffic when you are on the highway.

A Blind Spot Monitor uses sensors to detect for vehicles that enter your blind spot zones. They typically provide you with a visual and audible alert. With most systems, the visual alert will appear on the side mirror as an illuminated icon.

The IIHS stated that Blind Spot Monitors can significantly reduce the risk of accidents and injuries due to lane change errors. According to the IIHS, Blind Spot Monitors can reduce the likelihood of lane change collisions by 14% and lane change collision injuries by 23%. About 9% of newer vehicles offer a Blind Spot Monitor as a standard feature, and roughly 57% of new vehicles offer it as an available safety feature.
