Standard Nissan Quest safety equipment includes Zone Body construction with front and rear crumple zones and occupant zone and the Nissan Advanced Air Bag System (AABS), which utilizes crash zone sensor and advanced occupant weight sensing capability to control front passenger air bag deployment. Front seat Active Head Restraints and Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) are standard.

Also standard are head curtain supplemental air bags to help protect 1st, 2nd and 3rd row outboard occupants in side-impact collisions and 3-point seat belts and height-adjustable head restraints for all seating positions. Supplemental front-seat side-impact air bags for thorax protection are standard on 3.5SE and optional on 3.5SL.

Nissan Quest also offers a LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tether for CHildren) child seat anchorage system, child safety rear door locks and a Vehicle Security System (VSS).


RearView Camera and Rear Sonar System

Also available on Nissan Quest for 2007 is a RearView Monitor system (standard on 3.5SE, optional on 3.5SL), that utilizes a small camera mounted near the rear license plate that projects a view of what's directly behind the vehicle to the Vehicle Information Center display screen. The system is activated anytime reverse gear is engaged and helps enhance the driver's rearward view.

Nissan Quest also includes a standard Rear Sonar System (except 3.5), which provides an audible beep when approaching solid objects while backing up.



Special Attention to Quality

"Another focus of the 2007 Nissan Quest redesign has been in the areas of quality, both manufacturing and perceived quality," said Bosley.

During the development process, the design, engineering, manufacturing and supplier teams gathered for nearly a year in a special "war room" at the Nissan Technical Center in Farmington Hills, Mich. The goal was to enhance both the design and communications processes while the team tackled both large items (the all-new instrument panel, for example) and small details (thickness and finish of the rear armrests).

"The result of the team's efforts is a new Nissan Quest that is not only well-built, but looks and feels like a quality vehicle the moment you approach it or open a door," said Bosley.


A Range of Available Models and Packages

Once again for 2007, Nissan Quest is available in four well-equipped models: 3.5, 3.5S, 3.5SL and 3.5SE - each offering an array of standard and available equipment, including 10 cupholders, Remote Keyless Entry system, front row mood lighting, four 12-volt power points.

Other standard equipment includes "child friendly" B-pillar assist grips, adjustable front row seat belt upper anchors and numerous storage compartments located throughout Nissan Quest. Available equipment includes leather-appointed 1st and 2nd row seating, satellite radio with choice of XM or Sirius providers, an advanced Nissan navigation system, a 265-watt 10-speaker Bose audio system, HomeLink Universal Transceiver and Michelin PAX System with machined 19-inch alloy wheels and Michelin tires with run-flat technology.
