The instrument cluster head-up display (HUD) system projects
frequently used driver information off the windshield and is viewed near the
front of the vehicle from the driver's seat. The information may be displayed
in English or Metric units by selecting the E/M button. There are five
different HUD display modes. Press and hold the PAGE button on the LH
switch assembly to select any of the following display modes:
While a minor gage is displayed, a quick tap of the PAGE button will
allow you to select one of the following minor gage display modes:
There are four major components to the HUD system.
• | Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) |
• | Windshield (labeled SHADED HUD lower right side) |
The HUD image can be moved up or down to center it to your seated height
by pressing the DISPLAY UP or DOWN button. The HUD system also contains a
forward facing ambient light sensor which allows the HUD display image to
adapt to brightness levels of the environment. The ambient light sensor
is integrated within the HUD unit and is not serviced separately. When
ambient light levels are low (at night), the HUD image brightness can be
manually adjusted by rotating the dimmer switch located on the LH switch
assembly. The HUD image can be completely turned OFF by rotating the dimmer
switch in the full clockwise position. The HUD system will only display
the information that was sent by the IPC and cannot determine if the information
is valid. The HUD system performs a self test when the ignition is first
turned ON. The HUD system will illuminate all segments of display for 3.5 seconds.
After the displays are projected for 3.5 seconds, the HUD system
will begin normal operation. Diagnosis of the HUD system must always begin
with verifying proper IPC operation prior to diagnosing any HUD malfunctions.
