How to Use the Cruise Control in the Nissan X-Trail?
2 Answers
The method to use the cruise control in the new Nissan X-Trail is: 1. The cruise control button is located on the right side of the steering wheel. It is quite simple to use—just set the desired speed and then activate the cruise control via the button on the steering wheel. 2. The cruise control can only be activated when the speed reaches 40 km/h or above. If the speed drops below this threshold, the cruise control will automatically deactivate. Additional Information: 1. The dimensions of the new Nissan X-Trail are: length 4648 mm, width 1839 mm, height 1699 mm, and wheelbase 2705 mm. 2. Another subtle detail on the side of the new X-Trail is a concave surface intentionally carved by the designer between the waistline and wheel arches. This design, referred to as 'U-shape' by designer Takeru Tada, cleverly reduces the visual bulkiness of the vehicle's side profile.
Using the X-Trail's cruise control is straightforward. When driving the X-Trail, first locate the cruise control button on the right side of the steering wheel, labeled CRUISE ON/OFF, and press it lightly to activate the system. On the highway, accelerate to your desired cruising speed, say 80 km/h, then press the SET/- button to lock in that speed. Once cruise mode is engaged, use the RES/+ button to gradually increase speed and SET/- to decrease it; pressing the CANCEL button or lightly tapping the brake immediately cancels the cruise. To resume the previously set speed, simply press the RES/+ button. I use it every time for long drives—it reduces foot fatigue and is particularly fuel-efficient. But remember not to use it on wet or slippery roads during rain or snow, as it may not respond quickly in emergencies. Keep your attention on the steering wheel; that’s the safest approach. If your car has the radar version, it can also automatically adjust the distance to the car ahead, making it even more convenient.
