Houston, TX -- (SBWIRE) --06/10/2011 -- Infiniti has introduced many new safety features that help drivers stay more connected to their vehicle and the vehicle more connected to the road. With distractions from the radio, cell phones and even passengers, Infiniti has developed innovative technology to keep drivers safe. Clear Lake Infiniti is showing Houston customers how these new safety features can benefit them while on the road.

Infiniti has transformed the way drivers interact with traffic through a Distance Control Technology. When activated, Intelligent Cruise Control provides the benefits of cruise control with the options of adding speed and distance intervals. In slowing traffic, the Intelligent Cruise Control slows the vehicle as traffic slows, helping the driver maintain a safe distance. The industry-first Distance Control Assist (DCA) intuitively helps drivers release the throttle and applies the brakes as needing in slowing traffic.

Another innovative safety feature from Infiniti ensures that drivers are aware of any blind spots. The intuitive Blind Sport Warning System alerts the driver to vehicles detected in blind spot areas. An indicator light illuminates if the presence of another vehicle is detected and if the drive engages the turn signal, an indicator flashes and there is an audible warning.

The all-new Infiniti M Hybrid is the first vehicle in the U.S. to provide safety technology that is designed to help keep the vehicle in its travel lane. The technology uses a camera to monitor the distance between the vehicle and lane markings and when the vehicle unintentionally drifts towards the lane markers, the system first sounds a warning. The system will then apply brakes to certain wheels to help move the vehicle back into its lane.

Keeping drivers safe on the road is important to everyone at Clear Lake Infiniti.
