How to Use Cruise Control in the New X-Trail?
2 Answers
Method to activate cruise control in the new X-Trail: 1. Press the control switch to arm the cruise control. After accelerating to the desired speed, push the control lever downward to set the cruising speed. To accelerate, push the control lever upward or press the accelerator pedal. To cancel cruise control, pull the control lever upward, turn off the main cruise control switch, press the accelerator pedal, or lightly tap the brake. 2. After pressing the main cruise control switch, the cruise control icon will appear on the instrument panel to indicate the armed status. The new X-Trail's cruise control works at any speed but can only be adjusted using the control lever at speeds above 50 km/h. Lightly tapping the brake will cancel the cruise control status.
Driving the new X-Trail on long trips is what I enjoy the most, especially with the cruise control feature on the highway—it really saves a lot of effort. The operation is simple: first, accelerate the car to your desired speed, say 80 km/h, then find the button labeled "SET" on the right side of the steering wheel and press it lightly to activate. At this point, a green cruise icon will light up on the dashboard. To adjust the speed, press the "+" or "-" buttons nearby to speed up or slow down. When stopping or encountering traffic, the system automatically deactivates by pressing the brake or the "CANCEL" button. This feature is especially suitable for long-distance travel—no need to constantly press the accelerator, making it much easier on the feet, and it can even save some fuel. However, be careful not to use it in congested urban areas. Safety first—always stay alert and observe road conditions.
