Congratulations, hopefully you will be in situations to use it infrequently but when you are it will be available.

Sweet, how long were you hands-free?

At around the 15 minute mark, traffic starting speeding up over the 40 mph requirement so it turned back to Assisted Driving which required a touch every few minutes. It worked great and definitely found it to help with commute stress during the time it was active.

I got mine to work out on the interstate today. One annoyance is that it is limited to 40 mph which I knew, but when traffic started moving faster than that, rather than switching out of plus so I could keep up with traffic, it just get going at 40. I had to manually get out of the plus mode.

Next time try hitting the gas to get about 40mph, that should switch it out of Plus mode and into normal without having to hit the button. At least I think that is how it has switched for me without doing anything else.
