I didn't know enough about the DAP at the time of purchase and the dealership didn't do a thorough job of explaining it other than, "Here are your DAP function buttons."
My understanding is the DAP has three modes as per the green dash icons from L to R: 1) speed monitoring via the needle icon, 2) lane keeping via the steering wheel icon, and 3) "Assist Plus Ready".
The main issue for me right now is I trust my foot and eyes more than the DAP, so I'll often step on the brake before the DAP does if I'm slowing down. Let's say I set my speed at 70mph, I hit the brake, AD is interrupted. What button do I hit to get it back up to 70mph? Also, does the pro (self driving < 40mph) feature automatically pop up when traffic slows to < 40mph or do I have to activate it? Is this the cruise control system? Does it automatically deactivate if speed > 40mph? And can someone explain to me like I'm 5 when to hit which button? For example, right now I go:
A > Bumper up to 70mph.
And when I get the brakes and it interrupts I basically turn the whole function off and start over again LOLOL! Thanks all in advance.

I was in the same boat. You should try a You Tube search for BMW Driving Assistant Pro. There are a lot of videos with information and tips for using.
