I just got a 2025 Prius Plug in XSE Premium (with advanced technology package, and every premium feature) a couple days ago, and am trying to figure things out? So please forgive newbie questions. (I also agreed to the trial of all subscriptions, although I don't know if I will continue them after the trial?) I recall seeing something about "Traffic Jam Assist". As I will drive the car on the freeway (LA) for the first time today, and may well encounter a traffic jam, I am curious about that feature, to perhaps learn about it before that drive today? I looked in the index of the manual, and it is not listed there. Can anyone tell me about that feature? Do you find it useful? How do you use it?
I find it very useful. It moves the car along with traffic, keeping the car in the lane and avoiding other cars. I don't like the way it engages/disengages on its own. I've never found a way to activate it myself. Also, it keeps asking if you want to consent to being recorded. I can't think of any benefit to that, so I always refuse. It stopped happening when I found a way to disable the DMC (driver monitor camera) in the setup.
Thanks. You don't know how to engage it though? It just starts without being turned on. yes, I thinkk it requires the driver monitor camera. They want to make sure you are still alert and paying attention, not dozing while it drives~;-)
