BMW X1 cruise control setting method: First start the vehicle, then press the 10 button on the left side of the steering wheel to activate cruise control. Adjusting the speed is done by pressing the rocker switch in the interrupted state. After activating the system, it will maintain the current driving speed and store it as the desired speed. If necessary, DSC will also be enabled. Press the rocker switch up or down repeatedly until the desired speed is set. The BMW X1 has a body length, width, and height of 4565mm, 1821mm, and 1620mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2780mm. In terms of power, the BMW X1 is equipped with 1.5T and 2.0T engines. The 1.5T model has a maximum power of 103 kW and a maximum torque of 220 Nm, while the 2.0T model has a maximum power of 141 kW and a maximum torque of 280 Nm.
I remember setting the cruise control on the BMW X1 was quite straightforward. There are several buttons on the left side of the steering wheel, one specifically for activating the cruise system. First, press that button to turn on the function, and it will flash to indicate activation. Drive to your desired speed, for example, set it to 80 km/h on the highway, then press the SET button to lock in the current speed. After that, the system will automatically control the throttle. If you need to accelerate or decelerate, use the +/- buttons to adjust. It automatically cancels when you brake, which is safe and convenient. I often use this feature for long trips—it saves fuel and reduces fatigue. However, be careful not to use it on city roads or in traffic jams, and don’t set it at low speeds—it only works above 40 km/h. The steering wheel buttons are clear and easy to find, and it never hurts to glance at the manual a few times.
