How do I use Lincoln BlueCruise?

You can switch BlueCruise* on or off using steering wheel controls after a one-time enabling of the feature has been performed with your center touchscreen display (if equipped).

To learn more about the feature, refer to What is Lincoln BlueCruise?

BlueCruise Requirements

For Lincoln BlueCruise to function, the following pre-conditions must be met:

  • The cameras detect both road lane markings.
  • Your seat and steering column are positioned so the driver-facing camera can monitor your face.
  • Your hands are on the wheel, and your eyes are on the road. A driver-facing camera is in place to monitor the driver and ensure engagement (monitoring eye gaze and head position).
  • BlueCruise is not available above 80 miles per hour (mph) or 128 kilometres per hour (kph). Lane Centering Assist is available above 80 mph or 128 kph.

Important: You must be prepared to resume control of the wheel at all times.
