Head-Up Display (HUD)
{CAUTION:
If the HUD image is too bright or too high in
your eld of view, it may take you more time
to see things you need to see when it is dark
outside. Be sure to keep the HUD image dim
and placed low in your eld of view.
If the vehicle has the Head-Up Display (HUD), some
information concerning the operation of the vehicle
is projected onto the windshield. This includes
the speedometer reading, transmission positions,
compass direction, outside air temperature, the tap
shift gear and the upshift symbol if active, and a brief
display of the current radio station, including XM
information or CD track. It will also display turn-by-turn
guidance information if the vehicle has a navigation
radio. The images are projected by the HUD lens
located on the driver’s side of the instrument panel.
The tap shift gear and the upshift symbol will also
appear on the HUD if the vehicle has tap shift and
it is active.The HUD information can be displayed in one of
three languages, English, French, or Spanish. The
speedometer reading and other numerical values can
be displayed in either English or metric units.
The language selection and the units of measurement
are changed through the trip computer in the Driver
Information Center (DIC). See “Options” under
DIC Operation and Displays (Uplevel DIC with
Trip Computer) on page 3-55orDIC Operation and
Displays (Base Level DIC) on page 3-62.
The HUD information appears as an image focused
out toward the front of the vehicle.

air temperature.
Format Two:This display includes the information
in Format One without the compass direction and
the outside air temperature.
Format Three:This display includes all the
information in Format One, but turns the instrument
cluster lighting off. Format three is only available
at night.All formats will show the turn-by-turn guidance
information. It will display the next turn, direction,
street name, and distance to the selected destination.
When you near your destination, the HUD will display a
distance bar that will ll in the closer you get to your
destination. All navigation information is provided to the
HUD by the navigation radio, if the vehicle has one.
The warning indicators still appear on the instrument
panel when required. The HUD will display Stealth
Mode On.
The HUD will store the last display format selected.
If the last format displayed was Format One or
Format Three, then Format One will be displayed
when the vehicle is started.
If the last format was Format Two, then Format Two
will be displayed.
The HUD image displayed on the windshield will
automatically dim and brighten to compensate for
outside lighting.
The HUD image can temporarily light up depending
on the angle and position of the sunlight on the
HUD display. This is normal and will change when the
angle of the sunlight on the HUD display changes.
Polarized sunglasses could make the HUD image
harder to see.

Important:EDR data is recorded by your vehicle
only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data is
recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions
and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age,
and crash location) is recorded. However, other parties,
such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data
with the type of personally identifying data routinely
acquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment
is required, and access to the vehicle or the EDR
is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer,
other parties, such as law enforcement, that have the
special equipment, can read the information if they
have access to the vehicle or the EDR.
GM will not access this data or share it with others
except: with the consent of the vehicle owner or,
if the vehicle is leased, with the consent of the lessee;
in response to an official request of police or similar
government office; as part of GM’s defense of litigation
through the discovery process; or, as required by
law. Data that GM collects or receives may also be
used for GM research needs or may be made available
to others for research purposes, where a need is
shown and the data is not tied to a specic vehicle
or vehicle owner.OnStar®
If your vehicle has OnStar and you subscribe to the
OnStar services, please refer to the OnStar Terms
and Conditions for information on data collection and
use. See alsoOnStar
®System on page 2-40in
this manual for more information.
Navigation System
If your vehicle has a navigation system, use of the
system may result in the storage of destinations,
addresses, telephone numbers, and other trip
information. Refer to the navigation system operating
manual for information on stored data and for
deletion instructions.
Radio Frequency
Identication (RFID)
RFID technology is used in some vehicles for functions
such as tire pressure monitoring and ignition system
security, as well as in connection with conveniences
such as key fobs for remote door locking/unlocking and
starting, and in-vehicle transmitters for garage door
openers. RFID technology in GM vehicles does not
use or record personal information or link with any other
GM system containing personal information.
