How to Use the Cruise Control on Nissan Patrol?
2 Answers
The operation method of Nissan Patrol's cruise control is as follows: 1. Press the ON/OFF key to activate the system, at which point the cruise control indicator light on the dashboard will illuminate; 2. Accelerate to your desired speed (above 40km/h), then press the SET key. You can now release the accelerator pedal, as the speed is set at the current rate; 3. Press "RES+" to increase speed at the current setting, or press "SET-" to decrease speed; 4. There are three ways to deactivate cruise control: stepping on the brake, pressing the CANCEL key, or pressing the ON/OFF key; 5. If cruise control is canceled by braking or pressing CANCEL, you can press the RES key to resume the previously set cruise control speed.
As an experienced driver who loves taking my Patrol on long trips, I find the cruise control to be a real lifesaver. When cruising on the highway at 70-80 km/h, I simply press the cruise button on the steering wheel and tap the SET key – it memorizes the current speed and maintains it automatically. To adjust speed up or down, I gently press the + or - buttons nearby. If encountering heavy traffic or downhill sections, a light brake tap pauses the system, then RES resumes when conditions improve. The best part is the fuel efficiency on long drives and reduced leg fatigue. Remember, it won't work below 40 km/h – manual driving is safer in urban areas. Regular system checks are crucial as sudden failure could be dangerous. Overall it's extremely practical, especially for hassle-free highway driving.
