Head-up display*

Updated 18/05/2020

The head-up display supplements the car's driver display and projects information from the driver display onto the windscreen. The projected image can only be seen from the driver position.

The head-up display shows warnings and information relating to speed, cruise control functions, navigation, etc. in the driver's field of vision. Road Sign Information and incoming phone calls can also be shown in the head up display.

Note

The driver's ability to see the information in the head-up display is impaired by the following

use of polarising sunglasses
a driving position which means that the driver is not sitting centred in the seat
objects on the display unit's cover glass
unfavourable light conditions.

Important

The display unit from which the information is projected is located in the instrument panel. To avoid damage to the display unit's cover glass - do not store any objects on the cover glass and make sure that no objects fall down onto it.
