Safety Features

The 2008 Nissan Serena 2.0 20S Enchante Slide Up Passenger Seat Type 1 4WD prioritized safety with a range of features designed to protect both the driver and passengers. Here's an overview of the safety features incorporated into this model:

Airbags: The Serena was equipped with airbags to provide crucial protection in the event of a collision. It featured driver and passenger airbags, ensuring that the front seat occupants had a level of protection against frontal impacts.

Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS): ABS was a standard feature in the Serena. ABS helped prevent wheel lock-up during hard braking, enabling the driver to maintain steering control. This feature was especially valuable in emergency braking situations, reducing the risk of skidding.

Active Headrests: The Serena featured active headrests for the front seats. These headrests automatically moved forward in the event of a rear-end collision, reducing the risk of whiplash and providing additional protection for the occupants' necks.

Start-Stop System: While not a traditional safety feature, the start-stop system helped reduce emissions and fuel consumption by automatically shutting off the engine when the vehicle was stationary. This system promoted environmental responsibility and contributed to safer air quality.

Curtain Airbags (Optional): Depending on the trim level and optional packages chosen, some Serena models offered curtain airbags. These airbags provided additional protection to passengers in the event of a side-impact collision, reducing the risk of head injuries.

Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) and Traction Control (TC) (Optional): Higher trim levels or optional packages may have included VSC and TC systems. VSC helped maintain vehicle stability during cornering, while TC prevented wheel spin during acceleration, particularly in slippery conditions.

Lane Keep Assist (Not Available): It's important to note that the 2008 Serena did not come with a lane keep assist feature. This technology, which is common in modern vehicles, helps drivers stay within their lane on the road by providing steering assistance.

Distance Control System (Not Available): Similarly, the Serena did not have a distance control system, which is often seen in more recent models. This system assists in maintaining a safe following distance from the vehicle ahead on the highway.
