BlueCruise system
These are BlueCruise System Indicator symbols. When active, BlueCruise, a subscription service from Lincoln, uses cameras to monitor the vehicle’s position within a lane and applies steering support to keep the vehicle centered in the lane.
- Before continuing, is one of these truly your symbol?? If yes, then read on below.
- Otherwise, you can return to our main Picture Symbols pages and scan again!
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.

These are all Lane Departure Warning (
Note that with some manufacturers, that these systems are moving to active rather than simple warning status. This is to say that vehicles properly equipped will actually turn the steering wheel enough to remain in the proper lane (LDP above). Seen in 
A warning chime may also be heard. The symbols look like a car in a lane or leaving a lane (or breaking through a fence!), or like lane markers with arrows pointing at them or just the markers. A steady black and white light indicates that lane keeping is not ready; 
We now have a manufacturer who is using the first symbol to the left and seen above as well as a fault indicator. But more importantly, it is using the next two images in 
One manufacturer has chosen to combine the symbol on the left with the 
Another has added the Hands on Steering Wheel Indicator, but remains intended for the lane keeping system. The driver’s hands should, in fact, be on the wheel. In 
Images seen in shades of black and white are seen in the vehicle’s center information display. Here yet another manufacturer uses the lane lines simply to indicate the system is active. Another uses the image to indicate the system is active and lane lines are detected. It goes gray if lane lines are not detected. The last one, white on black, says the system is on, but no lines are detected. Only the particular manufacturer’s owner’s manual will determine what any given light indicates.
The addition of a star indicates that a particular driver’s preferences have been activated. As above, a steady black and white light may also be used to indicate that lane keeping is not ready; 
In this case, the manufacturer displays the lane lines and turns one side

These are Lane Change Assist (LCA) indicators, part of a Highway Driving Assist system. We’re showing two colors here, but in fact the system moves through four colors depending on the circumstance. In white, the system is off. In gray, the system is on stand by. In

And there is this variation, called Lane Centering, which features indicators with either arrows on either side of lane markings and a car or one that replaces the arrows with a steering wheel (right). This last point indicates the need to keep both hands on the wheel.
These versions, an LDW light, blinks if the system is active and the lane markers are approached. If any of these lights remain on in 
The picture symbol on the right, which adds the exclamation point to the image of a car leaving a lane, is also used by some manufacturers to indicate a fault.
