What is Ford BlueCruise

Ford BlueCruise utilizes existing technologies like Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Centering Assist to deliver a hands-free driving experience on pre-mapped highways. Activate FordPass Connect through your vehicle's center screen display to enable this feature. Locate the "Settings" icon and navigate to "FordPass Connect." Follow the on-screen instructions to activate the modem. Next, you need to enable Lane Centering with Hands-Free. You can do this within "Settings" by navigating to "Driver Assistance." Select "Adaptive Cruise Control" and " Lane Centering with Hands-Free." Once on the road, press the Adaptive Cruise Control button on your steering wheel. Ensure your Lane-Keeping System is active, typically indicated by a light on the dashboard or steering wheel. Once you enter a pre-mapped "Hands-Free Blue Zone" on the highway, your instrument panel will turn blue, and a hands-free icon will appear. Now you can enjoy Hands-Free Driving. 

Ford BlueCruise aims to transform highway driving from a chore to a more enjoyable experience. This innovative technology offers hands-free driving capabilities on pre-mapped highways, potentially reducing stress and fatigue, particularly during long journeys or congested traffic. Relax your grip on the wheel, and BlueCruise takes over the steering, allowing you to engage with passengers, enjoy the scenery, or simply rest your hands. By automating functions like maintaining lane position and following distance, BlueCruise can help minimize driver fatigue, especially on long trips. The convenience of hands-free driving allows you to focus on other activities, potentially making highway travel feel less burdensome.

Ford's innovative hands-free highway driving technology, BlueCruise, is now available on an expanding range of vehicles. Drivers seeking the convenience and safety features of BlueCruise can explore several exciting options, including the impressive Mustang Mach-E that offers electric performance and hands-free driving capabilities. The powerful F-150 Lightning combines electric truck capabilities with advanced driving assistance. The versatile F-150 adds hands-free driving to its long list of features. The spacious Expedition enhances comfort for long journeys with the option of BlueCruise. And the good news doesn't doesn't stop there! Starting in 2025, the Explorer will also join the lineup of BlueCruise-equipped vehicles, offering even more drivers the opportunity to experience the future of highway driving.

Ford's BlueCruise system progressively advances hands-free driving on highways. BlueCruise 1.0 builds upon existing Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Centering; this version enables hands-free driving within designated Hands-Free Blue Zones on divided highways. BlueCruise 1.2 update introduces In-Lane Repositioning and Lane Change Assist. The In-Lane Repositioning system can subtly adjust your car's position for more space from neighboring vehicles, enhancing comfort. Lane Change Assist allows hands-free lane changes by activating your turn signal and confirming the maneuver when it's safe. BlueCruise 1.3 focused on improving the overall hands-free experience, with enhanced performance in narrow lanes and curves. This upgrade lets you stay in hands-free mode for longer stretches, potentially reducing driver fatigue. These continual advancements solidify BlueCruise as a leading-edge technology for hands-free highway driving, offering an increasingly sophisticated and convenient experience.
