How to Use BlueCruise in the Ford F-150 Lightning

Using BlueCruise in your F-150 Lightning is simple. Just follow these steps:

Activate Adaptive Cruise Control by pressing the button on the steering wheel.
Wait for the hands-free icon to appear on the instrument panel.
Once the icon appears, you can take your hands off the wheel and enjoy hands-free driving while BlueCruise manages acceleration, braking, and steering.

What Does BlueCruise Do?

BlueCruise is a hands-free driving system designed to make long drives more comfortable and less stressful. Here’s what it does:

Automated Acceleration and Braking: The system adjusts speed based on traffic flow.
Steering Assistance: BlueCruise keeps your vehicle centered in its lane.
Lane Changing: The system changes your lane when prompted.
Blue Zone Compatibility: BlueCruise works on pre-mapped highways for optimal hands-free driving performance.

Do You Still Need to Pay Attention?

Yes! While BlueCruise offers hands-free capability, it’s not a fully autonomous system. The driver attention system monitors your focus using an infrared camera. If it detects that your eyes are off the road for too long, it will issue visual and audio alerts to keep you engaged in driving.
