To adjust the HUD so you can see it
properly:
1. Start your engine and slide the HUD
dimmer control (to the right
of the
steering wheel, below the wiper/
washer control) all the way to
HI.
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. Slide the
HUD image height control all the
way toward you, raising the image as
far as possible, Then slide the HUD
image height control away from you
so the image is as low as possible but
in full view.
3. Slide the dimmer control toward
OFF until the HUD image is no
brighter than necessary. To turn the
HUD off, slide the HUD dimmer
control to OFF. If the
sun comes out,
or it becomes cloudy,
or if you turn
on your headlights,
you may need to
adjust the HUD’s brightness
using
the HUD dimmer control. Polarizing
sunglasses could make
the HUD
image harder to see.
If the HUD image is too
1 L 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
keep the HUD image dim and
placed low in your field of view.
