Who wouldn't love a hands-free driving experience when cruising highways in the Corpus Christi, Portland, Robstown, Aransas Pass, Rockport, Kingsville, Sinton, Port Aransas, Ingleside, and Alice, TX areas? Ford has once again broken the boundaries of conventional driving by introducing an innovative feature known as Ford BlueCruise. This technology feature equips your F-150 with hands-free highway driving, enhancing safety and convenience on the Texas highways and beyond.
Ford BlueCruise is an advanced feature that combines intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go, Lane Centering, and Speed Sign Recognition. Particularly designed for the F-150, Ford BlueCruise is compatible with specified sections of divided highways, known as Hands-Free Blue Zones, covering over 100,000 miles of North American roads.
The Ford BlueCruise system works to take over control of the steering wheel, allowing the vehicle to autonomously accelerate, brake, and steer, while commanding full attention of the driver on the road. The technology utilizes advanced infrared driver-facing cameras located on the A-pillar and the SYNC screen to monitor the driver's eye gaze and head position. This is done to ensure full attention to the road, even when hands are off the wheel. These incredible features enhance the possibilities of safer, more focused, and less fatiguing driving.
Activating the Ford BlueCruise system is a simple and intuitive process. The system needs to detect both lane markings, and the driver's hands initially need to be on the steering wheel, with eyes focused on the road ahead. Once these conditions are met, Ford BlueCruise can be enabled through the 'Features' menu, under the 'Driver Assistance' option. The color of the indicator changes to convey the system's status. In Hands-Free mode, the indicator turns blue and the system actively monitors if the driver's eyes are on the road. Should the driver be distracted, the system issues warnings and, if necessary, can take over control to ensure safety.
