Caution: If the HUD image is too bright, or too high in your field of view, it may take you more time to see 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.

If your vehicle has the Head-Up Display (HUD), you can see some of the driver information that appears on the instrument panel cluster.

The information may be displayed in English or metric units and appears as an image focused out toward the front of the vehicle. The HUD consists of the following information:

There are three HUD modes that you can choose to view in the HUD display. By pressing the MODE button, you can scroll through these modes in the following order:

Street Mode supports audio and navigation functions with your choice of tachometer settings.

Track Mode 1 supports the G-Force gage and minor gages with a circular tachometer.

Track Mode 2 supports G-Force gages and minor gages with a linear tachometer.

When the desired HUD display has been selected, release the MODE button.

Within each mode, the display, can be further customized by pressing the PAGE button. Pressing this button in each mode will turn off and on the following:

Be sure to continue scanning the displays, controls and driving environment just as you would in a vehicle without HUD. If you never look at your instrument panel cluster, you may miss something important, such as a warning light. Under important warning conditions, the CHECK GAGES warning will illuminate in the HUD. View your Driver Information Center (DIC) for more information.

The HUD controls are located to the left of the steering wheel.

To adjust the HUD so you can see it 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, your 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 you change your seat position later, you may have to re-adjust your HUD.
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, you may need to adjust the HUD brightness 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 "OPTION" under DIC Operation and Displays .

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.

If the ignition is on and you can not see the HUD image, check to see if:

Keep in mind that your windshield is part of the HUD system. See Windshield Replacement .
