When the HUD is on, the
speedometer reading is continually
displayed, except when an imminent
navigation maneuver is being
shown. The current audio, phone,
or navigation alert temporarily
displays if their status changes. This
occurs if the steering wheel controls
are used to adjust a setting or
acknowledge an alert.
The HUD control is to the left of the
steering wheel. To adjust the HUD image so that
items are properly displayed:
1. Adjust the driver seat to a
comfortable position.
2. Start the engine.
3. Adjust the HUD controls.
Use the following settings to adjust
the HUD.
$(Image Adjustment): Press
down or lift up to center the HUD
image. The HUD image can only be
adjusted up and down, not side
to side.
!(Display View): Press to
select the display view. Release
when the desired display is shown
on the HUD. If vehicle messages
are displayed, pressing the DIC
select button may clear the
message. See Driver Information
Center (DIC) on page 5‑26.
D(Brightness): Lift up and hold
to brighten the display. Press down
and hold to dim the display. Hold
down to turn the display off. There are four views in the HUD
display:
Metric
English
Speed View: This display gives the
speedometer reading (in English or
metric units), speed limit, Adaptive
Cruise Control speed, Forward
Collision Alert, Lane Departure
Warning, and Vehicle Ahead
indicator. Some information only
appears on vehicles that have these
features, and when they are active.
