the following:
1. Start your engine and turn the dimmer knob to
the desired HUD image brightness.
The brightness of the HUD image is determined
by the ambient light conditions in the direction
your vehicle is facing and where you have the
HUD dimmer knob set. If you are facing a dark
object or a heavily shaded area, your HUD may
anticipate that you are entering a dark area and
may begin to dim.
2. Adjust the driver’s seat. If you change your
seat position, you may have to readjust
your HUD.3. Press the UP or DN buttons until the HUD
image is easy to see and then press the DN
button until the HUD image is as low as
possible, but remains in full view straight
ahead near the front bumper.
The HUD image can only be adjusted up and
down, not side-to-side.
4. To turn the image off, turn the dimmer knob
counterclockwise until it stops.
If the sun comes out or it becomes cloudy, you
may need to adjust the HUD brightness again
using the dimmer knob. Polarized sunglasses
could make the HUD image harder to see.

show BUICK and the Buick logo for a few seconds.
If it is cold outside, this display may stay on for
up to a minute.
Clean the inside of the windshield as needed to
remove any dirt or lm that reduces the sharpness
or clarity of the HUD image.

An emergency like this requires close attention and
a quick decision. If you are holding the steering
wheel at the recommended 9 and 3 o’clock
positions, you can turn it a full 180 degrees very
quickly without removing either hand. But you have
to act fast, steer quickly, and just as quickly
straighten the wheel once you have avoided the
object.
The fact that such emergency situations are always
possible is a good reason to practice defensive
driving at all times and wear safety belts properly.
Off-Road Recovery
You may nd that your right wheels have dropped
off the edge of a road onto the shoulder while
you are driving.
If the level of the shoulder is only slightly below the
pavement, recovery should be fairly easy. Ease off
the accelerator and then, if there is nothing in the
way, steer so that your vehicle straddles the edge
of the pavement. You can turn the steering wheel
up to one-quarter turn until the right front tire
contacts the pavement edge. Then turn your
steering wheel to go straight down the roadway.
