The HUD controls are
located to the left of the
steering wheel.
To adjust the HUD so it can be seen properly, do the
following: 1. Start the engine and press the HUD 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, the HUD may anticipate that
you are entering a dark area and may begin
to dim. It is possible for sunlight to enter the HUD making
it difficult to see the image. The display will return
to normal when the sunlight is no longer entering
the HUD.
2. Adjust the seat to a comfortable driving position. If your seat position changes, the HUD may need
to be re-adjusted.
3. Press the up or down arrows to center the HUD image in your view.
The HUD image can only be adjusted up and
down, not side-to-side.
4. Press the dimmer control downward until the HUD image is no brighter than necessary.
To turn HUD off, press and hold the (–) button until the
HUD display turns off.
If the sun comes out or it becomes cloudy, the HUD
brightness may need to be adjusted again using the
dimmer control. Polarized sunglasses could make the
HUD image harder to see.
The HUD information can be displayed in one of six
languages including English, Spanish, French, German,
Italian or Japanese. The speedometer can be displayed
in either English or Metric units.
