Re: Cruise Control
Gear hunting on a steep hill climb is normal for the exy as it is only a 4 cylinder car. I usually turn-off the cruise control when approaching a steep hill climb as I find that I can better control the acceleration manually. It is better for fuel economy too, rather than letting the exy rev up and down trying to select the right gear.
My understanding in regards to the 24 road side assistance is that it is transferable with the car if it is still under warranty.
Make sure you notify Nissan Australia head office in Melbourne of the ownership change, so your name gets added against the VIN in their database for any future correspondence.

You may find THIS feature handy. Personally, I can't live without it

Re: Cruise Control
Have had the fly-by-wire auscruise for some time now. It has a gentler reaction to speed changes - advantage: you just get back to 40kph then hit the resume button and it brings the vehicle up to speed at a reasonable pace. Disadvantege: on a hill it will let you slow down about 5-7 kph then try to catch up. On several of the hills on the Calder this means it drops a cog and zooms over the top of the hill at about 10 kph over what you set. I find that cutting out the overdrive as I start on the hill resolves this, and I think keeps the engine in a better power band.
Stillfor the driving we do wouldn'tbe without cruise now.
