~3min read

The Head-Up Display is a transparent display that projects some information from the instrument cluster and navigation onto the windshield in the driver's line of sight.

Precautions When Using the Head-Up Display

It may be difficult to read the information on the Head-Up Display in the following situations.

- The driver is not seated correctly in the driver's seat.
- The driver is wearing polarized sunglasses.
- An object is placed over the HUD cover.
- The vehicle is driving on a wet road.
- An inappropriate lighting device is installed inside the vehicle, or light is falling on the vehicle from outside.
- The driver is wearing glasses.
- The driver is wearing contact lenses.

If the information on the Head-Up Display is difficult to read, adjust the display angle or brightness level on the windshield in the User Settings mode. For more details, refer to the "LCD Display" section in this chapter.

WARNING

  • Do not attach stickers or accessories to the HUD or the windshield.
  • Do not adjust the HUD shutter and combiner directly by hand.
  • The image may be invisible due to fingerprints. In addition, excessive force applied during operation may damage the display.
  • Do not place any objects near the HUD. Interference with such objects during activation may affect operation or damage the display.
  • Do not place drinks near the HUD. If liquid leaks into the HUD, the display may be damaged.
  • Do not place any objects on the HUD. In addition, attaching anything (a sticker, etc.) to the combiner may distort the image visibility.
  • Do not allow strong light to strike the combiner. This may damage the combiner and internal components.
  • Do not place any objects on, inside, or near the display, regardless of whether the HUD is open or closed. Also do not attach any objects to the system component or insert anything inside the system.
  • Use a soft cloth to clean the HUD. Do not use an organic solvent, detergent, or polishing cloth.
  • For safety, be sure to stop the vehicle before adjusting the settings.
