To activate cruise control on the New Teana: Press the cruise control function button to turn it on, then push the toggle button when reaching the desired speed. Once the speed is set, the vehicle will automatically enter cruise control mode when traveling at the preset speed. Cruise control, also known as speed control system or autonomous driving system, automatically maintains the vehicle speed as required by the driver without the need to press the accelerator pedal, allowing the car to travel at a constant speed. The dimensions of the New Teana are 4868mm in length, 1830mm in width, 1490mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2775mm.

When I drive the new Teana on long trips, the cruise control is my lifesaver. The activation method isn't complicated: while driving, accelerate to above 40 km/h, preferably on a highway, then press the CRUISE button on the steering wheel to activate the system. A small icon will light up on the dashboard indicating it's ready. Then continue accelerating to your desired speed, say 110 km/h, and press the SET button to lock it in—the car automatically maintains speed, saving you from pressing the accelerator. For minor adjustments, use the adjacent + or - buttons to tweak the speed slightly. If the car ahead slows down or there's traffic congestion, gently press the brake or hit the CANCEL button to deactivate it. Once the road clears, press RES to resume the last set speed—super convenient. However, I remind myself to use this feature only in safe conditions, not in the city. While your foot may rest, your eyes must stay sharp on the road—safety first. Beginners might find it unfamiliar at first, so pick a day with light traffic to practice a few times until comfortable. Long-term use truly reduces fatigue and makes the journey more relaxing.

As a new Teana owner, it took me some time to figure out the cruise control. Here's how to activate it: First, drive until reaching the minimum required speed (e.g., 40km/h – usually safest to operate on highways). Press the CRUISE button near the steering wheel to activate the system, and a cruise indicator light will illuminate on the dashboard. Then, accelerate to your desired speed (e.g., 80km/h) and press the SET button to lock the current speed – the car will then begin automatic cruising. Adjust speed up or down using the + or - buttons, which are quite responsive. To interrupt, either press the brake or use the CANCEL button; pressing RES later will resume the original speed. I think the most crucial part is practicing several times on open roads to familiarize yourself with the process – avoid using it in crowded areas initially to prevent mistakes. The dashboard icons serve as confirmation markers, so keep an eye on them. Once activated, your feet get some relief, but keep your hands steady on the wheel – never play with your phone or get distracted. This feature is extremely practical, and with a few practice runs, even beginners can master it safely. Always prioritize safe driving.

Briefly speaking, the process to activate cruise control on the new Teana: Drive at a speed over 40km/h, press the CRUISE button on the steering wheel to start the system (indicated on the dashboard). Accelerate to the desired speed and press the SET button to lock the speed and maintain forward motion. Adjust speed using the + or - buttons. Press CANCEL or step on the brake to pause. Press RES later to resume the set speed. Only use on safe road sections—do not take risks.
