Nissan is acclaimed around the world for their out-of-the-box engineering. And while the LEAF and LEAF variants might be capturing most of the media's attention, present day; the automaker's dedication to breaking down barriers and providing drivers with the best cars, parts and service possible isn't a new development. It is however, quite newsworthy.

Evidence Nissan is a true innovator:  Brake Override Technology. Funny how three simple words can say so much...A truly instinctive mechanization, Nissan Brake Override Technology is capable of overriding accelerator power by reducing the engine throttle opening when both the gas and brake pedals are pressed in tandem.

Don't worry; Nissan took great car to design Brake Override Technology specifically for emergency situations. That means the safety feature will not activate if a Nissan driver is deliberately using both the brake and accelerator to gain traction on slick roads, at low speeds. It kicks in only at high speeds. For example: When your cruising on the highway, need to brake short and accidentally gun and brake the vehicle at the same time.

We at Freedom Nissan, located at 1095 Shelburne Road South Burlington, VT 05403 think that's pretty savvy. And, apparently, the federal government does, too. Because, they're now considering introducing a regulation that would make the technology mandatory on all cars, vans, SUVs, CUVs and trucks. Just goes to show, Nissan is way ahead of the game. The Japanese automaker actually started adding Brake Override Technology to all new Nissan vehicles all the way back in 2005. That's six year ago!

Of course, Brake Override Technology is only one example of Nissan's many notable safety breakthroughs.
