How do you activate BlueCruise after it gets installed at the dealer? How do you turn it on and off?
Thanks BoilerTimmay! But can't you still have plain old cruise control, feet off the pedals hands on the wheel?It just happens when you turn on cruise.
Did 2.5.1 yesterday evening and it must have done another one this afternoon.
You can - basically it works the same as before you just have the option to take your hands off the wheel on certain sections of road. It will say hands free and the dash lights up differently (it actually isn’t currently hands free in that photo). There is nothing from keeping you leaving your hands on the wheel when it is hands free and assisting the steering yourself (I find myself correcting every so often or still helping in certain spots because it isn’t perfect).Thanks BoilerTimmay!

Great answer, thanks. ?You can - basically it works the same as before you just have the option to take your hands off the wheel on certain sections of road.

I do think the algorithm is a bit different from the old lane centering. To me it feels a bit more “natural” (will arc a bit more for curves etc vs just locked on center) but could be placebo. It does sometime get a bit lost on the highway for me which is when I put hands on - it sometimes will be doing well then randomly drift a bit and spending some time going back and forth to correct. It def needs a bit of work but after using it regularly I’m gaining more confidence in it and know the situations where I won’t trust it.
Yes. Turn off lane assist on your steering wheel. It will function just like normal cc with no steering input. Or, you could just leave your hand on the wheel while in BC mode like @gtotco suggested.Thanks BoilerTimmay! But can't you still have plain old cruise control, feet off the pedals hands on the wheel?
