Ok, so you have a teen driver. You are very likely having a panic attack. You trust your kid, you know they are good and smart kids. Alternately, you have watched your child walk directly into a mall fountain because they were on their phone. So you’re both excited that you don’t have to drive them all over town for basketball, and a little worried that they are going to get distracted and get into an accident. The best thing you can do is to really focus in on teaching your kid safe and defensive driving skills so that they are ready to take on the road when the time comes. Here are a few tips to get you, the nervous wreck parent, ready to train your new driver. Before Each Driver Training Session Take time to plan out your route rather than winging it. Choosing quiet side streets, and avoiding busy thoroughfares would probably be a solid choice. Make sure you go over the route with your teen. It will help them be prepared too. Have an agenda of what road skills to work on before each drive begins. Adjust the passenger side mirror so that your teen has to adjust the mirrors themselves. It’s a good practice to get into. Stay calm and try not to raise your voice. If you’re calm, your teen will be too. No use in making them more nervous than they already are. Driver Training On the Road Be sure to give your child plenty of advance notice when they will need to turn, or if you want them to perform a specific road skill. Keep talking to a minimum so as to not distract your child. If a mistake is made have your teen pull over and explain the error so that it’s fresh in their memory. Speak and instruct in a calming tone. If you feel like your teen is starting to get frustrated end the lesson for the day. Be on the lookout for potential hazards or dangers as scanning their environment is a learned skill that your teen doesn’t yet have. When starting, keep the lessons short, maybe 15 or 20 minutes. As your teen gets more comfortable get up to around 40 minutes of driving per session. Remember that the information in drivers education is the be-all end-all and you shouldn’t contradict what was taught in these classes. Put your ego aside while keeping in mind that your teen’s drivers’ ed teacher is a certified instructor, specially trained on how best to teach new drivers. Home, After the Driver Training Session Go over the entire session, explaining mistakes, but still accenting the positive. Ask your teen to assess how he or she drove and what was learned. Congrats! You’ve made it though. Your teen is ready for the road test and you are probably ready for a nap. Parenting isn’t for the faint of heart, so don’t worry, you’re doing a great job! One More Driver, One More Car?

You have that one song you’ve played a thousand times. The one that still gives you chills when it hits just right. But in a car, it does not always sound the way it should. Voices get lost, details disappear. You turn the volume up and somehow it still does not feel clear. That is exactly the problem Nissan Personalized Sound was built to solve. Available on select Nissan vehicles with Google built in, this industry first technology creates an audio experience based on how you actually hear. Not how someone else hears. Not a factory preset, yours. At Younger Nissan in Frederick, we love technology that feels thoughtful, not flashy. This one listens before it speaks. What Makes Nissan Personalized Sound Different Most vehicle sound systems give you a few sliders and call it customization. Personalized Sound goes further by starting with a short in vehicle hearing test that takes about three minutes to complete. The system plays a series of tones at different pitches and volumes. You tap the screen to indicate what you hear. That information is then used to fine tune your audio across a detailed frequency range, creating a listening profile tailored specifically to you. Think of it like adjusting the lenses on a pair of glasses. Personalized Sound is Designed for Real People This technology is especially meaningful for drivers with hearing loss or sensitivity, but it is not limited to them. Audiophiles love it because it reveals depth and separation in music. Podcast listeners notice clearer voices. Navigation prompts become easier to understand without overpowering everything else. Instead of blasting sound louder, Personalized Sound makes it smarter. It balances frequencies so the details you miss most are brought forward naturally. Once drivers try it, most never turn it off. Every Driver Gets Their Own Soundtrack If your Nissan has more than one driver, no problem. Each person can create and save their own Personalized Sound profile. When you select your driver profile at startup, your custom audio settings load automatically. No more adjusting the sound every time someone else drives. No more compromises. Just your sound, your way, every time you get behind the wheel. Nissan Models That Offer Personalized Sound You can experience Personalized Sound on Nissan vehicles equipped with Google built in, including: Nissan Rogue 2024 and newer Nissan Murano 2025 and newer Nissan Armada 2025 and newer Nissan LEAF 2026 If your Nissan has Google built in, this feature is ready to be downloaded and used at no additional cost.
