Inspection

If part of the head-up display image is distorted or is not at the driver's eye level, the Global Diagnostic System (KDS) can be used to perform calibration.

  1. Calibration is required:

    • After replacing the head-up display

    • When the image is distorted after windshield replacement (built-in film to remove double images in the glass)

    • When removing/installing or replacing the main cluster panel mounted on the HUD.

    • When the HUD image installation position is not within the driver's field of view, resulting in an out-of-focus image.

  2. Calibration Items

    No Video Calibration Functions Calibration Cases
    1 Rotation: Calibrate counterclockwise/clockwise to the center.
    2 Smile: Calibrate vertically to the center.
    3 Tilt (up/down): Calibrate the vertical tilt.
    4 Tilt (left/right): Calibrate the horizontal tilt.
    5 Parallel Compensation
    6 Move up/down at the specified position: Calibrate to the user's eye level.
    7 Initialization: Return to the previous state before calibration.

  3. Calibration Procedure

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

    2. Make sure there are no foreign objects on the windshield.

    3. Connect the Global Diagnostic System to the vehicle and select the vehicle type and the HUD optional functions.

    4. In the additional functions, select "HUD Calibration."

    5. Before "Calibration," perform "HUD Calibration - Initialization."

    6. Select the required calibration items and perform "HUD Calibration."

    7. After calibration is completed, start and stop the engine, and make sure the calibration data is saved.

  • Check the operation of the ambient light sensor.

  • Check CAN communication.

  • Check the lighting control in the cluster ECU

    → If the HUD operates, there is no problem.

  • Check the operation of the ambient light sensor.

    → If the ambient light sensor operates, check the communication (CGW ↔ ICU).
