Lincoln BlueCruise Functionality
Lincoln BlueCruise uses a combination of cameras, sensors and preloaded roadway data to allow drivers the ability to take their hands off the steering wheel on certain compatible roadways. The system handles the acceleration, braking and steering, ensuring that your Lincoln remains within its lane. To ensure safety while engaged, BlueCruise uses a driver-facing camera to guarantee that the driver is paying attention to the road ahead while the system is actively providing support.
Blue Zone Driving Indication
A graphic of a blue steering wheel with the text “Hands-Free” appears on the digital gauge cluster when the system is engaged. This Blue Zone driving indication feature means that the driver can confidently remove your hands off the steering wheel while remaining vigilant of the road ahead. Should the system require them to retake control of the vehicle, an audible and visual alert will urge the driver to put their hands back on the steering wheel.
Attentive Driving Technology
To ensure that the driver remains fully aware of the road while Lincoln BlueCruise is engaged, a driver-facing infrared camera continuously tracks their eye gaze and head position. Should the system determine that the driver is no longer paying attention, audible and visual alerts will prompt the driver to resume control of the vehicle.
BlueCruise Compatible Models
