Extended Traffic Jam Assistant - How to test?
Supposedly ETJA came with drive assist pro. Drive assist itself is awesome and worth every money, however, I have yet to see ETJA become available -- there is never more than 2 mode available from the steering wheel (distance control and drive assist). My understanding based on the owners manual is that when conditions are right (on a freeway or similar, going under a certain speed, etc) that a third mode becomes available.
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? |

Make sure you have the eye detection box clicked in iDrive or it will never come up. I use it almost every day it's freaking awesome! Still a little nervous about the hands free but I'll get used to it soon enough.

Do you have some information appearing about this mode being available and have to confirm to use it?

When you're in "regular" assisted stop and go cruise control, it will steer for you but remind you to keep your hands on the wheel. With the assisted pro a new message pops up that you have to click on and then it activates (it's exactly what was described though - the car will steer, brake, accelerate, etc. without your hands ever on the wheel as long as you are looking forward past the camera thing at the top of the gauges.

Update -- This morning I looked and above was incorrect, the box was unchecked during the last test. I'll try again when I have the opportunity, and report back. Last edited by TheRetroGuy; 03-11-2020 at 09:58 AM.. |
