in a vehicle without HUD. If you never look at
your instrument panel cluster, you may miss
something important, such as a warning light.
Under important warning conditions, the CHECK
GAGES warning will illuminate in the HUD.
View your Driver Information Center (DIC) for
more information.The HUD controls are

To adjust the HUD so you can see it properly,
do the following:

dimmer control all the way up by pressing
the (+) button.
The brightness of the HUD image is
determined by the light conditions in the
direction the vehicle is facing and where you
have the HUD dimmer control 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.

balance, equalization (EQ) settings and source
(radio or CD)
