What are the Steps to Using BlueCruise?
If your Ford is equipped with BlueCruise technology, then you can start using it in three easy steps! First, you'll need to enter a Blue Zone. A Blue Zone is an approved section of the road that is compatible with the BlueCruise system. You can easily look up the Blue Zones in your area on Ford's website, but your car will also alert you automatically when you're in the right area! Next, you'll simply tap the button for Adaptive Cruise Control, and BlueCruise will take over your steering, keeping you centered within your lane. Of course, you can always put your hands back on the wheel to make your own adjustments throughout. The last step is to simply sit back and enjoy the ride! With BlueCruise, your car will combine Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Change Assist, and In-Lane Repositioning to navigate your vehicle hands-free.
What are the Features of BlueCruise?
You might be wondering how BlueCruise can take over for a driver behind the wheel, and give you the confidence to drive hands-free. We're excited to dive into the details of the BlueCruise system, and give you an inside look as to how it all works. First of all, your Ford will utilize the visibility from its driver-facing camera. This system will ensure that your eyes are still on the road, even if your hands aren't on the wheel. It's important to stay alert, even while using automated driving systems. Next, your Ford will uses 360-degree surround-view cameras for 360-degree perception! This will allow you to keep a constant distance from other vehicles, and stay centered in your lane. The last major component of BlueCruise is Connected Maps, which is what allows your car to identify those designated Blue Zones!
How Can I Setup BlueCruise?
Setting up Ford BlueCruise is a straightforward process that involves a few key steps. First, ensure your vehicle is equipped with BlueCruise and has the necessary software updates. Next, activate the system through the SYNC 4 touchscreen by selecting the BlueCruise icon and following the on-screen prompts. Once activated, set the adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist to your preferences. For BlueCruise to function, you'll need to drive on a designated BlueCruise-enabled highway; the system will then allow hands-free driving while you stay alert and monitor the road.
