How to Use Nissan Cruise Control?

Press the switch to activate the cruise control function. Observe the "CRUISE" light on the dashboard being illuminated. If you want the car to cruise at 90 km/h, first accelerate to 90 km/h. Then push down towards the "SET" button. At this point, "SET" will appear on the dashboard, indicating that the cruise control function is now operational.
When I drove the Teana before, I often used the cruise control. First, make sure the speed reaches above 40 km/h to activate it. Find the CRUISE button on the right side of the steering wheel and press it once to see a white indicator light up on the dashboard. Then, continue accelerating to your desired speed, for example, setting it to 100 km/h on the highway, and press the SET button to activate it. Once set, you can release the accelerator pedal. To accelerate, hold the RES button, and to decelerate, press the SET button—each press adjusts the speed by about 2 km/h. Temporarily exiting is simple too; just lightly tap the brake to pause, and press RES to resume. Finally, don’t forget to press ON/OFF to completely shut down the system when you’re done. Remember not to rely on cruise control in rainy weather or on winding mountain roads—the more complex the road conditions, the more you should manually control your speed.
When driving a Nissan on long trips, I love using the cruise control feature. After getting in the car, wait for the engine RPM to stabilize before operating it. The round button with a speed symbol on the right side of the steering wheel is the switch—press it to activate the system, but don't rush. Once the car reaches your desired speed, locate the SET button, which is right next to the cruise control switch. Pressing it gives an instant feeling of the system taking over. To overtake, press RES to accelerate, and use SET to slow down when going downhill. There's also a hidden trick: holding RES down allows continuous acceleration without repeated presses. The key is to always turn off the system after use, otherwise it might auto-activate the next time you start the car. Beginners should practice a few times in open areas to get familiar with the subtle force changes when the machine controls the speed.
