Ford BlueCruise is an advanced driver-assist system that enables hands-free driving on prequalified sections of divided highways called Hands-Free Blue Zones. These zones cover thousands of miles across North America, giving drivers the ability to relax while still staying engaged on the road. The system combines adaptive cruise control, lane centering, and a driver-facing camera to deliver confidence and comfort.

With BlueCruise, we can travel along highways like I-74 with less stress, knowing the vehicle is working alongside us to handle speed, distance, and lane positioning. The driver-facing camera ensures attention remains on the road, balancing convenience with safety.

One of the standout features of BlueCruise is true hands-free capability. Unlike standard cruise control, which still requires steering input, BlueCruise allows us to remove our hands from the wheel in approved zones. The system keeps the vehicle centered in its lane, automatically adapts to traffic conditions, and maintains a safe following distance.

Adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go is especially useful for traffic on busy stretches near Peoria. BlueCruise can bring the vehicle to a complete stop and then resume when traffic starts moving again. Combined with intelligent lane centering, this creates a smoother, more comfortable drive whether we are heading across town or traveling long distances.

For customers in Morton, Peoria, and the surrounding areas, BlueCruise provides meaningful advantages. Long drives become less tiring, commuting feels more relaxed, and time spent in traffic is far easier to manage. BlueCruise technology is available on popular Ford models, including the F-150 and Mustang Mach-E, so customers can choose a vehicle that fits their lifestyle while enjoying the latest in driver assistance.

Because Hands-Free Blue Zones are growing, the coverage area continues to expand. That means more opportunities for us to experience the convenience of hands-free driving across Illinois and beyond.
