WARNING
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.
For vehicles with the Head-Up
Display (HUD), some information
concerning the operation of the
vehicle is projected onto the
windshield. This includes the
speedometer reading, RPM reading,
transmission position, outside air
temperature, the tap shift gear,
and a brief display of the current
radio station, including XM
information or CD track. It will also
display turn-by-turn navigation
information if the vehicle has a
navigation radio. The images are
projected by the HUD lens located
on the driver's side of the instrument
panel.
The tap shift gear will also appear
on the HUD if the vehicle has tap
shift and it is active.
The HUD information can be
displayed in one of three languages,
English, French, or Spanish.
The speedometer reading and other
numerical values can be displayed
in either English or metric units.
The language selection and the
units of measurement are changed
through the trip computer in the
Driver Information Center (DIC).
See Vehicle Personalization (With
DIC Buttons) on page 547.
