How to Parallel Park in 4 Easy Steps

How to Parallel Park in 4 Easy Steps!

 

Parking is a snap in the Nissan Rogue with the world's first Around View (TM)Monitor. The system creates a bird's-eye-view of the Rogue on the LCD monitor for safer, easier parallel parking.

 

 

BUT HERE ARE SOME TRICKS FOR THE REST OF YOU:

 

 

How to Master Parallel parking in 4 Easy Steps

 

 

STEP ONE:
Approach the space, pull halfway into it, and then out, so that you are facing the space with the rear end of your car as shown.STEP TWO:
Turn your wheel to the RIGHT, so that the wheels are in the direction indicated. Start backing in the direction of the arrow.

STEP THREE:
Straighten the wheel when your mirror is roughly inline with the other car's bumper.

STEP FOUR:
Making sure the nose of your car will clear the car in front of you, begin turning the wheel to the LEFT. Follow the arrow. You should be perfectly in your spot!

 

 

So, the 4 steps are:

  1. Approach
  2. Backing with the wheel to the right
  3. Backing with the wheel straight
  4. Backing with the wheel to the left -you won't have to do too much with the wheel to the right if you do your approach correctly!

 

Some more useful tips:

  • Practice, practice, practice, - get to know exactly how big your car is!
  • If you're hitting the curb, you're not straightening the wheel or going left fast enough!
  • If you're too far away, you're not backing straight back (step 3) far enough!

BREAKING NEWS

BREAKING NEWS:
Nissan ALTIMA Outsells CAMRY!

 




For the first time in the past 17 months, Toyota's Camry lost the first place as the best-selling mid-size car in the US to Nissan's Altima. Toyota's Camry not only lost the first place to Nissan's Altima, but it also lost share to Ford and Honda models. In March, Camry sales in the US dropped 12% to 37,663 units, 100 less compared with Altima's sales.

"Long gone are the days when you saw Camry as the perennial winner by a big margin," Al Castignetti, Nissan's vice president of U.S. sales, said in a phone interview yesterday. "We'll all fight for that pie, and it will be more of an equal pie now that we'll all share in."

 

And it's not just the Nissan Altima that's selling well. March of 2013 was the best sales month for Nissan North America!

 

  • Nissan LEAF had its best month since launch with 2,236 sales, thanks to the debut of the American made, lower-priced 2013 model.
  • Nissan Pathfinder delivered its best-ever March, with 9,071 sales, up 177.1 percent.

The buzz grows as Mossy Nissan’s e-NV200 electric van hits the road!

Nissan's e-NV200 concept vehicle 

       When Nissan unveiled their e-NV200 concept vehicle at the 2012 Detroit North American International Auto Show it created quite a buzz. There was so much interest in this revolutionary battery-powered commercial van that Nissan was invited to test it as a mail delivery and collection vehicle in Japan. The success of this test caught the attention of Fedex. The international carrier teamed up with Nissan to test a prototype all-electric NV as a delivery van in London, England and later in Hanover, Germany. Needless to say, these tests were very successful at proving the potential of a battery-powered commercial vehicle.

Innovative Technology + Amazing Styling

          Nissan modeled their "electrifying" Nissan e-NV200 after the highly acclaimed Nissan NV200 commercial van - which won the 2010 International Van of the Year award for Nissan. The Nissan e-NV200 adds even more bold designs, and full electric capabilities-plus zero-emissions! This exciting new van is quiet, comfortable, and highly versatile with a functional interior space and compact body length. A potential game-changing vehicle in its segment, the battery capacity will support a driving range similar to the Nissan LEAF, while payload and cargo space will offer the same level as the current NV200. The production version would be targeted mainly at businesses, but also at private users.

 

New York City "hails" the Nissan NV200 and e-NV200

 

There's more exciting news for the Nissan NV line of vans. The New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission has selected the gasoline powered Nissan NV200 as the exclusivetaxi of New York City for 10 years beginning in the end of 2013. Taxis carry 600,000 passengers a day in New York City traffic, so this is a great opportunity for Nissan to show the world the reliability, safety and innovative technology of it's vehicles. The Nissan NV taxis will feature charging stations that include a 12 volt electrical outlet and 2 USB plugs for passengers to juice up their mobile electronics. And, as part of New York's "Taxi of Tomorrow" initiative, Nissan will work with City and taxi owners on a pilot program to study the zero-emission, all electric e-NV200 as taxis!

You can check back to see when this innovative Nissan vehicle becomes available at Mossy Nissan. In the meantime, you can see Mossy San Diego's giant inventory of NV Cargo Vans or NV Passenger Vans!

The Nissan NV200 Compact Cargo Van

Big things really do come in small packages!

Imagine the power and durability of a commercial moving van combined with the compact size and maneuverability of a minivan. That's what drivers can expect from the new Nissan NV200 Compact Cargo Van. This Nissan NV200 is built from the ground up to give you the flexibility to keep up with the fast-paced business environment..

Is the Nissan NV200 Compact Cargo Van right for your business?

Just look at these stats!

Length

This van measures 186.2 inches from end-to-end. It's 5.6 inches longer than the Ford Transit. It's long enough to haul some serious cargo and small enough to get in and out of loading zones, downtown business districts and busy commercial office spaces.

Width

Of course the design team at Nissan knows that length is just one measure of a cargo van. That's why they made this NV200 wide enough to carry a standard 40-by-48-inch commercial pallet in the cargo area.

Accessibility

This NV200 comes with dual sliding doors standard and the split rear doors open as wide as 180 degrees. That means easy access to your cargo from either side of the van, and the ability to unload from the rear of the van as well.

Cargo Capacity

The Nissan NV200 can carry about 1500 pounds. It also features optional floor-mounted hooks to secure your cargo. If you're not hauling pallets, the cargo area features a number of integrated mounting points for shelving units -or anything you can think of mounting!

Suspension & Horsepower

The Nissan NV200's rear suspension is leaf-sprung-like on a real commercial truck, and the NV200's 2.0 liter inline 4-cylinder engine puts out a respectable 140 horses. That's plenty of power to keep your business on the move!

Flexibility and other great features

Like all of Nissan's commercial vans, the Nissan NV200 can be configured with an amazing array of interior features. It can also be customized to be a rolling workshop or an office on wheels with a real desk!

The NV200 is rolling in to Mossy Nissan showrooms!

The Nissan NV200 is now available in San Diego at Mossy Nissan locations in El Cajon, Kearny Mesa and Oceanside. Mossy Nissan also offers great commercial vehicle financing! Don't wait!

Nissan’s Blind Spot Warning system takes on Honda Accord’s Lanewatch™

According to a recent survey(1) almost six in ten respondents blame blind spots for accidents or near-collisions. Luckily, for 2013, Nissan developed not one, but three advanced technologies help Altima drivers avoid a collision: Blind Spot Warning, Lane Departure Warning and Moving Object Detection. These three features, usually reserved for more expensive vehicles, take advantage of Altima's redesigned, next-generation RearView Monitor. A new wide-angle rearview camera, mounted in the license plate area, offers an expanded rear view so no extra sensors are needed to provide these additional capabilities. (These three innovations are available on Altima 2.5 SL and 3.5 SL as part of the Technology Package.)  Today, let's look at Blind Spot Warning Feature and how it compares to Honda's LaneWatch system.          

Nissan's Blind Spot Warning uses the Nissan Altima's wide-angle rearview camera and advanced image processing technology to scan the vehicle's blind spots. It alerts the driver with audible and visual warnings if there is a vehicle in a blind spot area.


            The Honda Accord, in comparison, uses two separate systems to provide driver protection. Unlike the Nissan Altima, neither of these two systems provide the visual or audible warning that alert the driver that a vehicle is the blind spot.

            The first system is Honda's LaneWatch camera. Unlike Nissan's wide-angle view monitor, which is mounted in the rear of the car, Honda's LaneWatch™" camera is mounted only on one side of the car-on the passenger-side outside mirror to display an expanded rear view. Honda designed LaneWatch™ to activate ONLY when the right turn signal is activated or a button on the stalk is pushed.

The second system is not a system at all - basically, driver side warning is almost non-existent. All you get is an outside mirror with a convex strip on the outer edge. Just how effective is this mirror? A car reviewer from the website ExtremeTech.com(2)  said "On the Accords I drove the convex mirror edge didn't seem to expand the view very much."

It's easy to see that Honda's unbalanced blind spot detection and lack of passive warning system simply does not compare to the Nissan Altima's state of the art Blind Spot Warning. These days driver safety seems to be a "blind spot" for Honda.

(1)  http://media.ford.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=36969] "Drivers acknowledge their limitations: Nearly 50 percent have fallen asleep while driving or know someone who has; nearly six in 10 blame blind spots for accidents or near collisions and nearly four in 10 of those surveyed fear parallel parking"

Nissan NV vs. Mercedes Sprinter

Nissan's work van does more for your money!

In the battle of the commercial vehicles, the new Nissan NV work van is quickly making a name for itself. Electricians, plumbers, delivery drivers and workers of all types from all over San Diego are finding the Nissan NV to be a reliable, rugged, versatile work van. It's also extremely customizable! Owners can get custom order their Nissan NV with an array of shelves, bins, rack and containers. The NV can even be configured to be everything from a passenger van, to a delivery vehicle or even a rolling office - complete with desk workspace! This gives the Nissan NV big advantages over competing commercial vehicles- including the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter,previously known as the Dodge Sprinter.

Let's look at how a base model Nissan NV Standard roof SV 2500 out performs the Mercedes Sprinter 2500 Standard roof in several key areas:

Pricing

With a base model MSRP starting at around $11,000 MORE than the base model Nissan NV* the Mercedes will definitely make a big dent in your wallet. That means you'll be putting in plenty of overtime to pay for that fancy Mercedes hood emblem!

Handling

The Nissan NV Passenger has a significantly smaller turning radius than the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, allowing you to much more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance

When it comes to horsepower, the Nissan NV will be able to pull heavier loads than the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. The Sprinter's 3.0L engine puts out a paltry 188 hp. The Nissan NV Cargo's powerful 4.0L engine delivers 261 hp., and the NV Cargo's optional 5.6L V-8 engine provides a whopping 317 hp.

Dimensions

The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is a bit longer than the NV, making it more difficult to park. So, if you go with the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter as your commercial vehicle choice, you may be circling the block looking for a parking spot more often than with the Nissan NV Cargo.

Turning Radius

For such a large van, the Nissan NV has a very small turning radius! On a fairly narrow street, the Nissan NV can do a complete 180 without having to back up, impressive considering the NV boasts a 146.1-inch wheelbase and measures more than 20 feet from stem to stern.

Features

Here's how a well-equipped Nissan 2013 NV3500 HD SV High Roof Cargo Van compares with a top of the line (but much more expensive!) 2013 Mercedes Sprinter High Roof van.
