How to activate cruise control on the new X-Trail?
2 Answers
The method to use cruise control on the new X-Trail: The cruise control button is located on the right side function keys of the steering wheel. It's quite simple to use - just maintain your desired speed and then operate the cruise control activation button on the steering wheel to set the speed. The usage condition requires the vehicle speed to reach at least 40 km/h or above; speeds below this threshold will automatically deactivate the cruise control. More details about the new X-Trail are as follows: 1. The new X-Trail measures 4648 mm in length, 1839 mm in width, 1699 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2705 mm. 2. The new X-Trail features a subtle design detail on the side profile - designers intentionally carved a concave surface between the waistline and wheel arches, which Tadao Tada refers to as U-shape, effectively reducing the visual bulkiness of the vehicle's side. 3. Regarding wheels, the high-end models are equipped with 19-inch alloy wheels.
When I first got the new X-Trail, I experimented with the cruise control several times. After starting the car and reaching a comfortable speed, say 80 km/h on the highway, I found the control area on the left side of the steering wheel. Pressing the button marked 'SET' or a similar icon, the system memorizes the speed. At this point, there's no need to press the accelerator as the car automatically maintains the cruise. To accelerate, press the '+' key, and to decelerate, press '-'. To temporarily cancel, lightly tap the brake or use the dedicated cancel button. This feature is especially useful on long trips, allowing you to relax your feet and prevent fatigue. I usually use it in good weather and smooth road conditions, avoiding operation in rainy or foggy weather to ensure safety. Remember to read the manual first to familiarize yourself with the button positions; don’t rush to try it while hurrying, as it can lead to confusion. In short, using it well can save a lot of hassle.
