Altima, Maxima, and Rogue Earn Top Safety Pick+
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety recently released their annual list of Top Safety Pick vehicles and three 2017 Nissan vehicles were chosen for the “Top Safety Pick+” designation, which is the highest rating a vehicle can possibly receive. The 2017 Nissan Altima, 2017 Nissan Maxima, and 2017 Nissan Rogue were chosen as Top Safety Picks after scoring with at least a “good” rating in each of the five crashworthiness tests. They earned their “Plus” status by achieving an “advanced” or “superior” rating for front crash protection and having the available Forward Emergency Braking.
“Nissan is proud to have many of our North American-built vehicles recognized by IIHS for vehicle safety,” said Michael Bunce, vice president, Product Strategy and Planning, Nissan North America, Inc. (NNA). “As a full-line manufacturer, Nissan places the safety and security of Nissan vehicle owners and their passengers as its top priority. Considering that 85-percent of the vehicles we sell in the U.S. are assembled in North America, we are gratified to see the company’s long-term investment in safety yielding results in these key vehicles receiving high marks from IIHS.”
All three of these Nissan vehicles are available for test drive at Destination Nissan! Stop by and see us today.

Nissan Rogue Hits Star Wars Red Carpet
For the past few months, Destination Nissan has been keeping you updated with Nissan’s latest marketing campaign featuring the Nissan Rogue. Leading up to the anticipation of Star Wars: Rogue One, Nissan has been very active in promoting the movie along with the new Rogue. So it was only appropriate for them to show up to the red carpet premiere with a Star Wars Fighter designed Rogue. The SUV had wings, jets, and even an R2 droid poking out of the sunroof! They also brought along a Rogue with Star Wars badging, one of the 5,000 fans can purchase.
Check out the picture above and we’ll let you know if any of the 2017 Nissan Rogue: Rogue One Star Wars Limited Editions will be landing here at Destination Nissan!

Driving Tips for Winter Mornings
It’s that time of year again! No, we’re not talking about the holidays. We’re talking about our frozen morning commutes. You know the ones. Every morning from December to March, you had out a few minutes early to your car to de-ice, defrost, and maybe even de-shovel your vehicle. Many of you let your vehicle warm up before hitting the road, so we’re here to answer some pressing questions about getting your car ready in the morning.
Almost everyone who lives in Upstate New York would agree that starting your car and letting it idle on a cold morning is not only convenient, it’s good for the vehicles. Contrary to popular belief, letting your car warm up in the morning is actually harmful to the engine, experts say. Your engine needs air and gasoline to work properly, but when it’s cold out, your car adds more gasoline than air to the engine. This flushes out the engine oil it needs to run, which can be damaging to the engine. If you really love using your automatic car starter, not to worry. It’s safe to let your vehicle idle for a few minutes, but don’t let it go any longer than that.
If you’re wondering what to do to warm up your car instead of letting it idle, the answer might surprise you. Experts agree that the best thing to do to warm up your car on an especially cold day is to get in and go! But don’t push it – an engine needs at least 5-15 minutes to get warmed up, so take your time and go easy on the accelerator. Going faster will put unnecessary stress on the engine.
If you have any other questions about proper car maintenance in the winter, stop by and see our Service Department! We’ll make sure your vehicle is running in perfect shape for the cold months ahead of us.

Nissan Teams Up with Star Wars and Toys for Tots
In an effort to spread holiday cheer and provide gifts to children through the Toys for Tots organization. By uniting with Star Wars: Force for Change and Amazon, Nissan will be hosting a toy drive until December 22nd. If you’d like to join the cause, just pick something from this wish list, and Nissan will provide an additional one.
Keep Your Steering Wheel Clean
With the holidays around the corner, the last thing anyone wants is to get sick. To avoid it, you probably keep hand sanitizer with you at all times, wipe down your counter tops, and make sure all hands, big and small, are clean at all times. But, when was the last time you cleaned your steering wheel?
If you think about it, that is one of the spots you will definitely touch when you’re in your vehicle. That means all the germs you’ve collected from your office, the bathroom, and other people are being transferred while you drive home.
If you don’t have too much of a mess to start with, this won’t be a difficult issue to rectify. All you need is some interior cleaner and a microfiber cloth. Spray the cloth directly with the cleaner and then wipe the wheel in a 360-degree motion. Be sure not to spray directly onto the steering wheel since extra cleaner could go behind the plastic guarding your gauges where you can’t get behind.
For those that need to put a little more elbow grease into the job, we suggest an interior scrubbing pad. You can still use the same cleaner, or, if you’d like, a three-to-one mixture of water and all-purpose cleaner. That will help remove any stubborn body oils or grease. Be sure not to scrub too hard though, you don’t want to take off any color on the wheel.
A couple other helpful hints:
- Don’t wash your cloth with your normal laundry. It could leave stains on clothing.
- Rotate the cloth to ensure what you’re cleaning with is clean
- If there’s stitching, use a toothbrush
- A steam machine is a great way to sanitize
