Head Up Display (HUD) Description and Operation: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Pontiac Aztek and 2004 Buick Rendezvous. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The head-up display (HUD) is a secondary display system that optically projects critical vehicle information onto the windshield. The HUD system has an electric tilt adjust that is controlled by the HUD up/down switch. Moving this switch directs the motor to move the HUD image up or down on the windshield. The HUD is also equipped with automatic dimming which gives the HUD the ability to sense outside light conditions, via a photo-cell and automatically adjusts the brightness levels. You may manually adjust the HUD image brightness by moving the HUD dim switch.
The HUD displays the following images:
- The speedometer reading (speed up to 120 mph)
- The turn signal indicators
- The high beam indicator
- The low fuel indicator
- The check gages indicator
- The radio frequency, including AM, FM, CD, and Tape
- Backup vehicle speed
- Values in English or metric units
