The Titan XD has standard driver and passenger side airbags combined with three-point seat belts, a combination which is 29% more effective in preventing injury and death than seatbelts alone.
To maximize occupant safety, the front seat shoulder belts of the Nissan Titan XD have pretensioners to eliminate dangerous slack in the event of a collision and force limiters to limit the pressure the belts will exert on the passengers.
For enhanced safety, the front seat shoulder belts of the Nissan Titan XD are height-adjustable to accommodate a wide variety of driver and passenger heights. A better fit can prevent injuries and the increased comfort also encourages passengers to buckle up.
The Titan XD has shoulder harnesses for all passengers. Shoulder harnesses are 10% more effective than lap belts in preventing injuries from collisions. Recent studies indicate that lap belts alone may cause as many or more injuries than they prevent.
The Titan XD has standard child safety locks to prevent children from opening the rear doors.
In the past twenty years hundreds of infants and young children have died after being left in vehicles, usually by accident. When turning the vehicle off, drivers of the Titan XD are reminded to check the back seat if they opened the rear door before starting out.
The Titan XD's rear seat is safe for a rear facing infant safety seat and the Titan XD's passenger side airbag has a weight sensor switch to disable it.
The Nissan Titan XD has standard driver and front passenger side knee airbags mounted low on the dashboard. These airbags helps prevent the driver and front passenger from sliding under their seatbelts or the main frontal airbags; this keeps them better positioned during a collision for maximum protection. Knee airbags also help keep the legs from striking the dashboard, preventing knee and leg injuries in the case of a serious frontal collision.
The Titan XD has standard front seat side-impact airbags and head airbags for both seat rows, which act as a forgiving barrier between the passengers and the door. Combined with high-strength steel door beams this system increases protection from broadside collisions.
Using vehicle speed sensors and seat sensors, smart airbags in the Titan XD deploy with different levels of force or don't deploy at all to help better protect passengers of all sizes in different collisions. Airbags without smart features will always deploy full force.
The Titan XD has standard four-wheel antilock disc brakes for quicker stops and controlled steering ability, especially under poor traction conditions.
The Titan XD has standard Automatic Emergency Braking, which use forward mounted sensors to warn the driver of a possible collision ahead. If the driver doesn't react and the system determines a collision is imminent, it automatically applies the brakes at full-force in order to reduce the force of the crash or avoid it altogether.
Over 200 people are killed each year when backed over by motor vehicles. The Titan XD has standard Rear Automatic Braking that use rear sensors to monitor for objects to the rear and automatically apply the brakes to prevent a collision.
The Titan XD has all-wheel drive to maximize traction under poor conditions, especially in ice and snow.
To prevent wheel-spin and loss of control under poor traction conditions, full range traction control is standard on the Nissan Titan XD.
The Titan XD has standard Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC), which uses the antilock brake hardware along with powerful software and additional sensors to detect the beginning of a skid. VDC then intervenes by automatically applying the brake at one appropriate wheel, preventing a skid.
When descending a steep, off-road slope, the Titan XD PRO-4X's standard Hill Descent Control allows you to creep down safely.
The Nissan Titan XD PRO-4X/Platinum has Daytime Running Lights to help keep it more visible under all conditions. Canadian government studies show that driving with lights during the day reduces accidents by 11% by making vehicles more conspicuous.
The Titan XD's lane departure warning system alerts a temporarily inattentive driver when the vehicle begins to leave its lane.
The Titan XD has standard Front and Rear Sonar Systems to help warn drivers about vehicles, pedestrians or other obstacles behind or, optionally, in front of their vehicle. The Titan XD also has a standard backup monitor to help drivers see any and all obstacles behind their vehicle, and an optional (except SV) Around View® Monitor to allow the driver to see objects all around the vehicle.
The Titan XD's blind spot warning system uses sensors to alert the driver to objects in the vehicle's blind spots where the side view mirrors don't reveal them.
To help make backing out of a parking space safer, the Titan XD's standard Rear Cross Traffic Alert uses sensors in the rear to alert the driver to vehicles approaching from the side, helping the driver avoid collisions.
The Titan XD's driver alert monitor detects an inattentive driver then sounds a warning and suggests a break. According to the NHTSA, drivers who fall asleep cause about 100,000 crashes and 1500 deaths a year.
Compared to metal, the Titan XD's plastic fuel tank can withstand harder, more intrusive impacts without leaking; this decreases the possibility of fire.
The Titan XD's gas tank is mounted inside the frame rails in front of the rear axle to optimally protect the fuel tank in a collision. A gas tank mounted behind the rear axle is more susceptible to rear collisions.
The Titan XD offers optional NissanConnect Services, which uses a global positioning satellite (GPS) receiver and a cellular system to remotely unlock your doors if you lock your keys in, help track down your vehicle if it's stolen or send emergency personnel to the scene if any airbags deploy. Without a GPS response system, if you're involved in an accident and you're incapacitated help may not come as quickly.
