I can get it to use regular drive assist (requires occasional touching of the wheel, etc) in traffic jam situations, but it seems to be too slow to take off each time the car ahead moves forward. Hopefully ETJA solves this. I thought maybe I wasn't testing under the correct conditions (the typical traffic jam I encounter on my daily commute home is not on a freeway), so this morning I intentionally entered a traffic jam to try to test ETJA. The third mode never became available.
Can anyone tell me what I might be doing wrong?

You have to be on a freeway, not sure what the minimum speed limit of the road has to be, but for me it activates when I'm on a highway with a 100km/h speed limit and traffic is moving less than 60km/h. You have to be in driving assist mode, a message will popup on telling you that traffic jam assist is available, press the mode button and a third mode, traffic jam assist, will be selected. As long as you're going under 60km/h, and you're cruise control speed is set at the limit (100km/h for me), you can keep your hands off the steering wheel indefinitely and the car will do everything for you. You only have to keep your eyes on the road, which the camera keeps track of. As soon as you hit 60km/h, the regular driving assist mode activates again and you have to hold the steering wheel again.
