Nissan Dualis and X-Trail get 'around view' monitor

The Dualis and X-Trail will be getting Around View Monitor system, which has been designed to be easy-to-see, easy-to-use, and easy-to-understand.

Using four separate cameras, the monitor displays an image of the vehicle from above. This helps the driver to visually confirm the vehicle's relation to the lines around the parking space, the kerbside as well as surrounding parked cars.

Until now this safety technology has usually featured on more expensive luxury vehicles, but Nissan is bringing the technological innovation of Around View Monitor to cars priced under $50,000. The Dualis Ti-L and X-Trail Ti (petrol) and TL (diesel) models will be fitted with the technology.

"Nissan prides itself on being able to introduce the latest technological and safety innovations into the volume market and Around View Monitor is the latest example of this," Nissan's Bill Peffer said.
