How to Use the Cruise Control on the New X-Trail?
2 Answers
The method to use the cruise control on the new X-Trail: The cruise control button is located on the right side of the steering wheel. It's quite simple to use—just set your desired speed and then activate the cruise control on the steering wheel to maintain that speed. The cruise control can only be used when the speed reaches 40 km/h or above; it will automatically deactivate if the speed drops below this threshold. The new X-Trail has a length of 4648 mm, a width of 1839 mm, a height of 1699 mm, and a wheelbase of 2705 mm. Additionally, there's a subtle detail on the side of the car that's not easily noticeable: the designer intentionally carved a concave surface between the waistline and the wheel arch, which Taisaku Saito refers to as the 'U-shape.' This cleverly reduces the bulkiness on the side of the car. As for the wheels, the high-end models come with 19-inch rims.
I've been driving for over a decade and am extremely familiar with the X-Trail's cruise control system, which is very convenient to operate. After starting the car, first make sure your speed is above 30 km/h, then press the CRUISE button on the steering wheel to activate the system, followed by SET/- or RES/+ to set your desired speed. On highways or open roads, it automatically adjusts speed by slowing down or accelerating to follow the vehicle ahead - the following distance can be adjusted using the control knob near the steering wheel (I recommend setting it to medium distance for safety). To deactivate, simply press CANCEL or lightly tap the brake. Remember: never use it during rain/snow or complex road conditions - always be ready to take over control to avoid accidents. This is crucial. As someone who loves sharing driving tips, I find these techniques really help beginners drive more effortlessly and worry-free.
