Ford BlueCruise is a Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Level 2 driver assist technology that provides convenient hands-free highway driving on over 130,000 miles of compatible highways across North America. Initially branded as Active Drive Assist, Ford BlueCruise operates in Hands-Free Blue Zones, which are pre-qualified sections of divided highways where the BlueCruise system can identify and confirm the road lines are present. BlueCruise leverages the combined power of cameras, radar-sensing technologies, and many Ford Co-Pilot360™ Driver assistance technologies.
Ford BlueCruise helps make every road trip more enjoyable and manageable by handling steering, navigating, and speed for you on long highway stretches, helping reduce fatigue. This allows you to shift your focus more on the road, providing a safer and more alert driving experience. Various onboard systems help determine when it’s safe to go hands-free, and will alert you when the opportunity arises.
The Ford BlueCruise technology is always improving, and the latest version, Ford BlueCruise 1.3, features enhanced performance around curves and through narrow lanes for longer hands-free driving times. Other important aspects include lane management, through lane changing and repositioning, and a speed assist that helps predict and regulate your vehicle’s speed.
Ford BlueCruise is currently or will soon be available on four vehicles, which include two SUVs and two pickup trucks. Experience what the latest Ford vehicles have to offer combined with the hands-free convenience of Ford BlueCruise.

The BlueCruise system hardware is included on your vehicle if you ordered it (or it came equipped with) the Ford Co-Pilot360 Active 2.0 Prep Kit. BlueCruise software to function with the hardware is a separate purchase, either at the time of production or as a subscription later.
To receive the BlueCruise software, you’ll need to purchase the vehicle activation at the time of production for a custom order or buy a connected service plan and have it installed with a Ford Power-Up over-the-air update. Contact a dealership representative for more information.
Yes, BlueCruise is a truly hands-free highway driving system. However, just because it’s hands-free, this does not mean that you can tune out on the road. Your attention, judgment, and ability to intervene immediately are not replaced with this system.
