Frederick Nissan is proud and excited to announce that the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety awarded the 2011 Nissan LEAF a \u201cTop Safety Pick\u201d rating<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The rating is given to vehicles that achieve the Institute\u2019s highest rating of \u201cGood\u201d in front, rear and side impact protection as well as being equipped with electronic stability control and earn a good rating in roof strength. The Nissan LEAF<\/strong> joins the Nissan Cube<\/a> and Infiniti M37\/M56 on the list of 2011 Top Safety Picks.<\/p>\n \u201cNissan has a long standing commitment to safety and innovation,\u201d said Brian Carolin, senior vice president, sales and marketing, Nissan North America, Inc. \u201cThe award confirms that the commitment to passenger safety continues with the 100% electric Nissan LEAF.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The Nissan LEAF is the first 100% electric vehicle to be tested by the Institute. Standard Nissan LEAF safety systems include Nissan Advanced Air Bag System (AABS) with dual-stage supplemental front air bags with seat belt and occupant classification sensors, front seat-mounted side impact supplemental air bags, roof-mounted curtain side impact supplemental air bags for front and rear-seat outboard occupant head protection, 3-point ALR\/ELR seat belts (driver\u2019s seat ELR only) with pretensioners and load limiters, child seat upper tether anchor, LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) system and child safety rear door locks. Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) and Traction Control System (TCS) are also standard on all LEAF models<\/strong>.<\/p>\n We are very much looking forward to receiving our first Nissan Leaf here at Frederick Nissan in the near future.<\/p>\n\n
