Inspection

If part of the head-up display image is distorted or not within the driver's line of sight, the Global Diagnostic System (GDS) can be used to perform calibration.
  1. When Calibration is Necessary
    • When replacing the head-up display.
    • If the image is distorted after windshield replacement (double vision is eliminated after installing the film inside the windshield).
    • When the main warning panel installed on the HUD is removed/installed or replaced.
    • When the installation position of the head-up display video unit is not at the driver's eye level and the focus is inconsistently shifted.
  2. Calibration Items

  3. Calibration Procedure
    1. Park the vehicle on a level surface for accurate adjustment.
