HUD was not designed For that
rpose.

To adjust the HUD so you can see it
properly:
1. Start your engine and slide the HUD
dimmer control (located below the
climate controls) all the way to
MAX.
The brightness of the HUD image is
determined
by whether the headlight
switch is on or
off, and where you
have set the HUD dimmer control.

2. Adjust the seat, if necessary, before
setting the height control.
Rotate the HUD image height control
all the way up, raising the image as
far as possible. Then rotate the HUD

If the sun comes out, or it becomes

to adjust the
HUD's brightness using the HUD

could make the HUD image harder
to see.

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's dark outside. Be sure to
I
