Where is the Cruise Control Button on the Nissan Patrol?
2 Answers
The cruise control consists of three sets of buttons, all located on the left side of the steering wheel. Here are the details: 1. The 'on/off' button is for turning the cruise mode on and off. 2. The middle up and down buttons. 3. The triangular 'cancel' button. Below is additional information about cruise control: 1. The cruise control system (CRUISE-CONTROL-SYSTEM), abbreviated as CCS, is also known as a speed control device, speed control system, or autopilot system. 2. Its function is to maintain the vehicle speed as set by the driver without the need to press the accelerator pedal, allowing the vehicle to travel at a fixed speed. 3. With this device, drivers no longer need to control the accelerator pedal during long highway drives, reducing fatigue and unnecessary speed changes, which can save fuel.
In the Nissan Patrol, the cruise control buttons are typically located on the left side of the steering wheel and consist of three small buttons: one is the ON/OFF button to activate the system; another is the SET button—once pressed, the speedometer on the dashboard lights up, allowing you to set the current speed; and the third is the RESUME button, used to restore the cruising speed after braking. Having driven the Patrol for several years, I find this feature particularly useful on highways. Once the speed exceeds 40 km/h, a light press automatically maintains the speed, making driving much more relaxed without needing to press the accelerator. However, it's worth noting that button placement may vary slightly across different model years. For example, pre-2015 models have slightly smaller buttons, while post-2018 models feature more prominent buttons. It's advisable to familiarize yourself with the steering wheel layout before driving for added safety. Always stay focused while driving and avoid relying too much on cruise control to prevent distractions. If the buttons malfunction, the system might need a reset—first, check if any warning lights are illuminated on the dashboard.
