The Nissan Pathfinder S has two additional notable features that are unavailable on the Highlander LE. The first is Tire Fill Assistant, which uses the horn and/or lights of the vehicle to let you know when the correct tire pressure has been reached when you fill the tires, helping prevent over-filled tires.
The second additional safety on the Pathfinder S is rear parking sensors, which beep when you reverse too close to an object. With rear parking sensors, you can more confidently navigate tight parking spots and busy parking lots.
