Nissan Pathfinder 2008 SUV features 5

The second-generation Nissan All Mode 4x4 all-wheel drive system with low-range gearing and electronic control allows the Pathfinder to move efficiently through mud, wet roads, or snow, ensuring maximum traction. The driver selects 2WD, AUTO, 4HI/4LO modes using a convenient rotary switch rather than an outdated lever. The electronics instantly adapt to changing road conditions without noticeable delays for passengers, helping to prevent emergency situations and improving off-road capability.

The hill start assist system holds the car from rolling back for three seconds while the driver moves their foot from the brake pedal to the clutch. It is available on all versions with ESP+. Vehicles with automatic transmission are additionally equipped with a hill descent control system. It maintains a low speed without pressing the brake, allowing the driver to focus on steering.

The rear-view camera in the Pathfinder transmits the image to the central screen. Colored lines are overlaid on the image, indicating the contours of the car. The color of these lines changes depending on the distance to an obstacle, prompting the driver how safe the distance is.

After the initial setup, you don't need to take out your phone — it will connect to the hands-free system automatically. Call control is done via buttons on the steering wheel. The Bluetooth module is compatible with many mobile phone models and does not require installing additional consoles or wires.

The car is equipped with a keyless entry system (chip key). It allows you to open the doors of the passenger compartment and trunk, as well as start the engine without physical contact of the key with the lock. The system activates when the chip key is within a distance of up to 80 cm from the car: the doors are automatically unlocked, and they can be opened by pressing a button on the handle. To start the engine, it is enough to turn the ignition switch, provided that the chip key is inside the car, for example, in a bag or pocket.
