5-34 Instruments and Controls
To adjust the HUD so it can be seen
properly, do the following:
1. Start the engine and press theHUD 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.
To change the language and unit
selections, see
“Entering the
Personal Options Menu” under
Vehicle Personalization on
page 5‑54.
Clean the inside of the windshield
as needed to remove any dirt or film
that reduces the sharpness or clarity
of the HUD image.
To clean the HUD, spray household
glass cleaner on a soft, clean cloth.
Wipe the HUD lens gently, then dry
it. Do not spray cleaner directly on
the lens because the cleaner could
leak into the unit.

Global Positioning
System (GPS)
.Obstruction of the GPS can
occur in a large city with tall
buildings; in parking garages;
around airports; in tunnels,
underpasses, or parking
garages; or in an area with very
dense trees. If GPS signals are
not available, the OnStar system
should still operate to call
OnStar. However, OnStar could
have difficulty identifying the
exact location.
.In emergency situations, OnStar
can use the last stored GPS
location to send to emergency
responders.
.A temporary loss of GPS can
cause loss of the ability to send
a Turn-by-Turn Navigation route.
The Advisor may give a verbal
route or may ask for a call back
after the vehicle is driven into an
open area.
