How to use the cruise control in Teana?
2 Answers
The cruise control buttons for Teana are all located on the right side of the steering wheel, and you can operate them through these buttons. The following are the conditions for using cruise control: 1. The road section should be a closed section, such as a highway. On roads with complex traffic conditions, the risk of driving is higher when using cruise control, and frequent braking will make it difficult to maintain a stable cruise control state, losing the meaning of cruise control. 2. It is prohibited to use in rainy or snowy weather, as there are many unexpected situations in such weather. 3. It is prohibited to use on mountain roads or roads with many curves. These sections require slowing down and controlling the speed to ensure safety. 4. It is prohibited to use when there are many vehicles on the road. When there are many vehicles, the distance between cars is close, and there are many unexpected situations, so you need to pay attention to the surrounding traffic conditions at all times.
As a seasoned driver who often drives the Teana, I find the cruise control system very practical on highways. After starting the car and reaching the desired speed, say 80 km/h, locate the CRUISE button on the steering wheel and press it to activate the system—the indicator light will turn on but the speed won’t lock yet. Once the speed stabilizes, press the SET button to lock the current speed. After that, use the “+” and “-” buttons for fine-tuning acceleration or deceleration. Stepping on the brake automatically cancels the cruise, and pressing the CRUISE button again shuts it off completely. I make a habit of using it on long drives to ease the strain on my legs and feet, but in complex road conditions, I switch to manual control to avoid distraction. Remember to maintain a safe following distance and regularly check the braking system to ensure reliability. Overall, it’s convenient and fuel-efficient, though it’s less effective in city driving—best to avoid using it there.
