Caution: If the HUD image is too bright, or too high in your field of view, it may take you more time to see things you need to see when it is dark outside. Be sure to keep the HUD image dim and placed low in your field of view.
If your vehicle has the Head-Up Display (HUD) feature, you can see some of the driver information that appears on your instrument panel cluster.
The information may be displayed in English or metric units and appears as an image focused out toward the front of your vehicle. The HUD consists of the following information:
• | Speedometer Reading |
• | Turn Signal Indicators |
• | High-Beam Headlamp Indicator |
• | Check Gages Message |
The HUD shows these images when they are lighted on the instrument panel cluster.
Be sure to continue scanning your displays, controls and driving environment just as you would in a vehicle without HUD. If you never look at your instrument panel cluster, you may not see something important, such as a warning light.
Notice: If you try to use the HUD image as a parking aid, you may misjudge the distance and damage your vehicle. Do not use the HUD image as a parking aid.
The HUD controls are located on the instrument panel to the left of the steering wheel.
The brightness of the HUD image is determined by an internal photo-cell, and where you have the HUD dimmer control set.
To turn the HUD display off, slide the dimmer lever to OFF.
If the sun comes out and the sky becomes cloudy, you may need to adjust the HUD brightness using the dimmer lever. Polarized sunglasses could make the HUD image harder to see.
To change the display from English to metric units, push the ENG/MET button located to the left of the steering column.
Clean the inside of the windshield as necessary to remove any dirt or film that reduces the sharpness or clarity of the HUD image.
To clean the HUD lens, spray household glass cleaner on a soft, clean cloth. Gently wipe and dry the HUD lens. Do not spray cleaner directly on the lens to avoid cleaner leaking inside the unit.
If the ignition is in RUN and you cannot see the HUD image, check to see if:
• | Something is covering the HUD unit. |
• | The HUD dimmer lever is adjusted properly. |
• | The HUD image is adjusted to the proper height. |
• | A fuse is blown. See Fuses and Circuit Breakers . |
Keep in mind that your windshield is part of the HUD system. If you ever have your windshield replaced, be sure to get one that is designed for HUD or your HUD image may look blurred or out of focus.
