2 Answers
Dongfeng Nissan X-Trail cruise control usage method: 1. Increase the speed to 40 km/h or above, then press the SET button to set the current speed; 2. You can press the RES+ or SET- buttons to fine-tune the speed to reach the desired speed; 3. The cruise control indicator light on the dashboard will illuminate and display the cruise speed; 4. To cancel the cruise, you can press the brake pedal or the cancel button. Taking the X-Trail 2021 2.0L CVT 2WD XE Fashion Edition as an example: The vehicle is equipped with a 2.0L 151 horsepower L4 naturally aspirated engine and a CVT continuously variable transmission, with a maximum power of 111 kW and a maximum torque of 194 Nm.
I recently found the cruise control on my X-Trail particularly useful when driving on the highway—it's simple and convenient to operate. There are several buttons on the left side of the steering wheel: one is the cruise control switch—press it first to activate the system. Then, when you reach your desired speed, press the SET button to lock it in. To increase speed slightly, press RES+, and to decrease, press SET-. If you encounter traffic, lightly tap the brake or press the CANCEL button to pause it, and press RES to resume later. This feature is a lifesaver on long drives, as it eliminates the need to constantly press the accelerator, giving your foot a break. However, remember to use it only on flat highways—avoid using it in rainy, snowy, or winding conditions to minimize the risk of skidding. Overall, I usually activate it on clear stretches of road to maintain a steady speed and save a bit of fuel. The first time I used it, I was a bit nervous, but after a few tries, it became second nature. I recommend beginners practice with it more. After using it for a few months, I feel the X-Trail's cruise control is thoughtfully designed and doesn’t distract from driving.
