Ford BlueCruise is an advanced driver-assist technology that allows hands-free driving on certain pre-mapped highways known as Hands-Free Blue Zones. It uses a combination of cameras, radar, and sensors to monitor traffic and road conditions while keeping you centered in your lane.  


What is Ford BlueCruise Hands-Free Driving? 


How to Get Started with BlueCruise  

  • BlueCruise only functions in designated Hands-Free Blue Zones on specific highways. Your dashboard will notify you when you are in a Blue Zone and the system is ready to engage.  
  • It works alongside Adaptive Cruise Control, so make sure it is activated. Once BlueCruise confirms you are in a Blue Zone, a message on your digital instrument cluster will indicate that hands-free driving is available. Remove your hands from the steering wheel while keeping your eyes on the road at all times.  
  • With BlueCruise engaged, you can change lanes hands-free using Lane Change Assist. Simply activate the turn signal, and the system will safely change lanes when conditions allow.  
  • This technology improves your driving experience by reducing fatigue on long highway trips. It allows you to relax your hands while staying engaged with the road, making highway travel safer and more comfortable.
