Head-Up Display
The instrument cluster Head-Up Display (HUD) system projects selected driver information on the windshield and is viewed from the driver's seat. HUD system has an electric tilt adjust that is controlled by HUD up/down switch. See Fig 1 . Moving this switch moves the HUD image up or down on the windshield. HUD has ability to sense outside light conditions, via a photo-cell, and automatically adjusts brightness levels. HUD image brightness can be manually adjusted by moving HUD dim switch. An ambient light sensor allows HUD image display to adapt to brightness levels of environment. During the start up of the vehicle all segments of the head-up display illuminate for 3 seconds.
