Instrument Cluster
The instrument cluster sends the image information to the head-up display via a discrete video cable. The image sent to the head-up display is closely related to the information currently being displayed on the instrument cluster or driver information center. For example, if an incoming phone call is displayed in the cluster, this information will be displayed on the head-up display. If a navigation alert is shown in the cluster, then a turn-by-turn alert will display on the head-up display. When the operator interacts with the instrument cluster using the steering wheel mounted driver information center switch, the head-up display also responds to the interaction. If the operator dismisses the navigation alert on the instrument cluster, it is also removed from the head-up display.
