How to Use the Cruise Control on Nissan X-Trail?
2 Answers
Nissan X-Trail cruise control operation method is as follows: 1. Accelerate to 40km/h or above, then press the SET button to maintain current speed. 2. Use RES+ or SET- buttons for fine speed adjustments. 3. The cruise indicator will illuminate on dashboard showing set speed, allowing you to release accelerator pedal. 4. To cancel cruise, either press brake pedal or cancel button. Press RES button to resume previous cruise speed. 5. Accelerating won't deactivate cruise control - releasing pedal will return to set speed, but braking will cancel cruise.
Using the cruise control on the X-Trail is quite simple, but I recommend operating it only when driving at a steady speed on highways, avoiding use in urban areas or on curves to prevent distraction. First, after starting the car, drive to a safe speed—generally above 40 km/h. Then press the button labeled ON or CRUISE on the steering wheel to activate the system. Next, accelerate to your desired speed and press the SET button to lock in the current speed. On the highway, you can release the accelerator, and the car will maintain its pace automatically. To adjust the speed, press RESUME to return to the previously set speed or use the + and - buttons to fine-tune it by a few kilometers. If traffic gets heavy, lightly press the brake to cancel the cruise control and immediately take back control. I always remind myself not to rely on it for too long, staying alert and observing road conditions, as the system might malfunction—for example, if a sensor fails, it could stop working. Regularly check if the brake lights are functioning properly to ensure safety. This feature saves fuel and effort, but caution is key to avoid accidents.
