Updated 2020-03-19

The head-up display is a complement to the instrument panel and projects information from the instrument panel onto the windshield. The projected images can only be seen from the driver's seat.

The head-up display projects warnings and information related to speed, cruise control functions, navigation, etc. onto the windshield in the driver's field of vision. Traffic information and incoming phone calls can also be shown on the head-up display.

Note

The driver's ability to see information in the head-up display may be impeded by:

the use of polarizing sunglasses
a driving posture in which the driver is not centered in the seat
objects on the display unit's glass cover
unfavorable lighting conditions.

Important

The information is projected from a display unit located in the dashboard. To help prevent damage to the display unit's glass cover, do not place any objects on the glass and prevent objects from falling onto it.
