It comes on as soon as I hit the 'Mode' button on the steering wheel to activate cruise or assisted driving. If I immediately hit cancel after mode the display shows the view with the cars being actively updated but the system is disabled. If it is disabled but showing the driving mode lane keep assist doesn't work.

I got the chance to use traffic jam assist plus last night and it is pretty incredible, the lane changes to a solid green, the lights on the steering wheel light up solid green and the car does everything for you. Once you go over 40 it starts beeping at you and showing the yellow steering wheel asking you to start controlling again.. See attached picture.

Edit: I think it's important to note that those purple lights at the top of the display are the IR emitters for the attention camera. They are not visible to the naked eye. They show up on the camera because it can see slightly outside the visible spectrum, in real life you see a very very slight red glow if you are looking closely. The car uses these lights and the camera to tell if you are looking forward and enables the traffic jam assist plus to be fully hands off.
