BlueCruise: Drive hands-free with confidence on highways

Available BlueCruise is a new technology that allows you to operate your vehicle hands-free while being monitored by a driver-facing camera to make sure you’re keeping your eyes on the road. Built upon technologies like available Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go , Lane Centering and Speed Sign Recognition , BlueCruise helps you feel more confident and in command on the road. This feature is compatible on prequalified sections of divided highways called Hands-Free Blue Zones that make up over 200,000 kilometres of North American highways.

Check your blind spot

When you have BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) With Cross Traffic Alert it’s like having an extra set of eyes in the back of your head. It alerts you to vehicles in your blind spot while driving as well as vehicles behind you when backing up.

Drive between the lines

With Lane Keeping Assist you’ll stay in your lane, even during moments of unintentional distraction. If your vehicle starts to drift out of the lane, you’ll be alerted with vibrations in the steering wheel, chimes, and visual warnings.

Next level cruise control

Sitting in stop-and-go traffic can feel tedious. Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go keeps the pace by slowing your vehicle down if traffic slows or stops, then resuming your set speed when traffic starts moving. Lane Centering also helps keep you centred in the lane when your hands are on the wheel.

Steer in the right direction

In the event that a vehicle suddenly appears in your path, Evasive Steering Assist can help you steer clear of a potential collision. It doesn’t steer for you but it does provide extra support to help you manoeuvre around a slow or stopped vehicle. 

Be a parallel parking expert

For anyone who’s ever wished they had a spotter to parallel park, there’s Enhanced Active Park Assist. There’ll be no more stressing because all you have to do is shift, accelerate and brake, while it steers you into, and out of, your selected spot.

Master steep hills

Steep hills can be tricky to navigate – especially if you’re towing a trailer. Hill Descent Control makes things easier by helping to maintain a set speed while driving down an incline, by automatically applying the brakes when needed.

Take curves with confidence

Entering into a curve too fast can be nerve-racking, but it doesn’t have to be. With Curve Control, your speed is detected as you enter a curve, and if the system deems the speed excessive, the brakes automatically kick in to help slow you down. Phew!

Built To Expect The Unexpected

Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking

This feature scans the road ahead and alerts you to potential collision hazards in your path, and even applies the brakes if necessary.

Pedestrian Detection

In a world full of distracted ‘petextrians’, Pedestrian Detection may help sense what’s ahead before you see what’s ahead.

Forward Collision Warning with Brake Support

If things get too close for comfort, you’ll be warned and if you don’t react quickly, Brake Support will increase responsiveness when you do. Post-Collision Braking will apply the brakes following an impact to reduce movement of the vehicle.
