How do I update my Lincoln BlueCruise maps?

Lincoln BlueCruise* maps are updated automatically if you turn on automatic updates and set a daily schedule. This ensures that BlueCruise maps are updated once available for your vehicle.

See below for information about the map update process and troubleshooting for potential issues. 

Updating Your BlueCruise Maps

To get updates for your BlueCruise maps:

  1. Confirm automatic system updates are on and scheduled to be received daily.
  2. Confirm Vehicle Connectivity is on.

What if my BlueCruise map shows an expiry date that has passed?

If your maps are not updated before expiration, you will receive a SYNC® pop-up message reminding you to update them. Visit your preferred Lincoln Retailer to update your BlueCruise maps. If a retailer is not available in your area, visit your preferred Ford Dealer.

Although a BlueCruise map expiration date may display on the SYNC screen, you should not lose your hands-free highway driving capability as long as you have an active BlueCruise subscription. 

If you need further assistance, contact a Lincoln Concierge at 1-800-387-9333 or select Chat Now on the Contact Us page of lincolncanada.com.

What if I experience issues updating my BlueCruise maps?

If you have issues, such as your maps not updating, or you are not receiving map updates, confirm if your map has an expiry date or a map part number.

Additional Information

How do I use BlueCruise?
What is BlueCruise?

*Available Feature. Equipped Lincoln vehicles come with either a complimentary BlueCruise trial period or an included BlueCruise connected service plan duration, after which purchase is required. Modem activation through the Lincoln Way™ App is required for subscription purchase and for initial activation of BlueCruise (for pre-2024 model year vehicles). See your Lincoln retailer for details. BlueCruise is a driver-assist feature and does not replace safe driving or driver’s attention, judgment or need to control the vehicle. Only remove hands in a Hands-Free Blue Zone. Always watch the road and be prepared to resume control. See Owner’s Manual for details and limitations.

Do not drive while distracted or while using handheld devices. Use voice-operated systems when possible. Some features may be locked out while the vehicle is in gear. Not all features are compatible with all phones.
