things you need to see when it is
dark outside. Be sure to keep the
HUD image dim and placed low in
your field of view.
With HUD, some information
concerning the operation of the
vehicle is projected onto the
windshield. The image is projected
through the HUD lens on top of the
instrument panel. The information
appears as an image focused out
toward the front of the vehicle.
Caution
If you try to use the HUD image
as a parking aid, you may
misjudge the distance and
damage your vehicle. Do not use
the HUD image as a parking aid. The HUD may display some of the
following alerts or information for
vehicles equipped with these
features:
.
Speedometer
. Tachometer
. High Beam Indicator Symbol
. Forward Collision Alert Warnings
. Audio Functions
