Travel assist menu missing

Hi all,

I just got a Formentor last week and I am so far happy with the car.
It got delivered with 1896 version of the OS, not sure if this is the latest one.

I have travel assist button on the stearing wheel and it works without issues.
Car steers itself, maintains the distance, matches speed and all of that.

My issue is that Travel Assist menu is not shown in the infotainment.
Did anyone else have this issue and did you managed to get Travel Assist show up in infotainment?

Thanks

It's referenced in manual in few places.

I've activated lane change assist in the main settings but it doesn't seem to do anything. There might be more control options if you press the end of the left (indicator) stalk which brings up a different assist menu in the dash, but I havent had a good root through that

As above, the only place I can find a Travel Assist menu with the ability to turn on/off various functions is by pressing the end of 'left stalk' button. Which then changes the instrument panel display mode.

Presumably a subsequent software update has removed Travel Assist from the Assistant menu, leaving just the Lane Assist option.

Thanks for the tips.
I checked the menu that is accessed by pressing the left stalk button but I haven't found travel assist settings in there.
It's weird that manual from Nov. 22 is refferencing the Travel Assist menu but is not found in infotainment.
@dazed which software version are you on?

From what I saw, pressing the left button IS the Travel Assist buttons, you are then activating or deactivating the various components of TA. TA isn't one function, it's a combination of various function, e.g. ACC and LKA.

This is how the menu looks like in the infotainment.
I found it in another post on this forum related to travel assist retrofit. SW version of infotainment from the picture below is 1899.

Thanks for checking both of you.
I am on 1896, from what I heard A896 is OTA version of 1896.
So maybe once I get update to 1898 or 1899 I'll get that menu.
I'm not sure if 1899 is deployed OTA though.
