The indicator color changes to indicate the system status. Gray indicates BlueCruise is on but inactive. Green says the system is active and applying continuous steering support. Blue indicates that the system is active and hands-free driving mode is available.
Using the cameras and location information, BlueCruise allows might allow a driver to remove his or her hands from the steering wheel, creating a hands-free driving mode in certain areas. A larger graphic in the instrument panel transforms into a steering wheel without hands on it to indicate hands-free driving availability mode.
The system uses a driver facing camera and infrared lighting to monitor the driver’s eyes and head position to detect distraction, at which point an alert will be sounded.
There are a number of limitations to the system. For instance it will not operate when the vehicle is not centered in the lane, when a lane is too narrow or too wide, a lane marking is not detected, whien in a construction area or when using a spare tire. There are others as well.
