How Does BlueCruise Work?
Step 1
Welcome to
The Blue Zone
When you enter a pre-qualified section of a divided highway — a Blue Zone — you’ll see a prompt on the instrument cluster letting you know BlueCruise is available and ready to assist.

Step 2
Let BlueCruise
Assist
Simply tap the Adaptive Cruise Control button on your steering wheel and let BlueCruise assist, while keeping your eyes on the road. The system helps handle steering, keeps you centred in your lane, and adjusts your speed as needed — all without you ever touching the wheel. Designed with driver collaboration in mind, you can always take over and steer manually within the lane without BlueCruise disengaging.

What is a one-time purchase of BlueCruise and how does it work?
The BlueCruise One-Time Purchase option enables customers to make a single upfront payment for a minimum of 7 years of BlueCruise service, with no additional payments required to maintain access. If BlueCruise is technically available beyond 7 years, no additional cost will be required.
Please note that BlueCruise is tied to your vehicle's VIN and cannot be transferred to another VIN. If you sell your Ford, the new owner will benefit from the BlueCruise service as well.
Can any vehicle have access to the one-time purchase option of BlueCruise?

How do I know if my vehicle has BlueCruise?
What’s the difference between BlueCruise versions 1.0, 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4?
BlueCruise 1.0 – Builds on available Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Centering to add hands-free driving capabilities on prequalified sections of divided highways called hands-free Blue Zones.
BlueCruise 1.2 – Adds new features including In-Lane Repositioning (which can give you more space by subtly shifting away from vehicles in adjacent lanes) and Lane Change Assist (tapping your turn signal to initiate a hands-free lane change).
BlueCruise 1.3 – Helps you stay engaged longer in hands-free mode by improving performance, with greater ability to navigate narrow lanes and curves.
BlueCruise 1.4 – Delivers great in-lane stability, while automatically and smoothly adjusting the vehicle’s speed in even more curves, allowing for more hands-free time and a more continuous drive.
