    How Does BlueCruise Work?

    GIF

    Step 1

    Welcome to

    The Blue Zone

    When you enter a prequalified section of a divided highway — a Blue Zone — you’ll see a prompt on the instrument cluster letting you know BlueCruise is available and ready to assist.
    GIF

    Step 2

    Let BlueCruise

    Assist

    Simply tap the Adaptive Cruise Control button on your steering wheel, make sure your Lane-Keeping System is on, and let BlueCruise assist while keeping your eyes on the road. The system helps handle steering, keeps you centered in your lane, and adjusts your speed as needed — all without you ever touching the wheel. Designed with driver collaboration in mind, you can always take over and steer manually within the lane without BlueCruise disengaging.

    Step 3

    Feel the Magic

    of Letting Go

    With BlueCruise engaged, you can switch lanes hands-free using Lane Change Assist and enjoy extra room with In-Lane Repositioning,* where your vehicle subtly shifts away from vehicles in adjacent lanes. Automatic Lane Change, a new BlueCruise feature, can make a hands-free lane change for you — without the need to touch the steering wheel or turn signal. Just sit back and enjoy the ride.**

    “Coming from a previous Tesla owner, in the Autopilot…you’re constantly nudging that wheel. And that's where I was blown away by the BlueCruise, because it's literally hands-free.”
