Head-Up Display: Notes
The HUD, now available on the E60, E61, E63 and E64, is used to display relevant information needed for driving the vehicle. The information is displayed as a virtual image on the windshield. The image is projected into the driver's field of vision which creates the illusion that the image is at the front edge of the hood.
The relevant driving information is still available in the instrument cluster and CID.
Depending on the equipment installed in the vehicle, this virtual image contains information that is of relevance to the driver, such as:
- Cruise control FGR
- Active Cruise Control ACC
- Navigation
- Check Control messages
- Road speed
The size of the virtual image is approximately. 200 mm x 100 mm.
The HUD of the E60 and E61 are identical. Due to the angle of the windshield on the E63 and E64, the HUD is slightly modified. The mounting position in the instrument panel and the mirrors in the HUD unit are altered to allow integration of HUD into the 6 series.
