Repair Procedures: Inspection

If a part of the head up display image is distorted or it is not at eye level with the driver, the diagnostic system (KDS) can be used to carry out calibration.

  1. Calibration is required:
    • After replacing the head-up display unit
    • When the image is distorted after replacing the windshield (double vision removal film built-in glass)
    • When the HUD mounted main crash pad is removed/installed or replaced.
    • When the image setting location of the HUD unit is not at eye level of the driver resulting in out of focus image.
