Instruments and Controls 4-29 Head-Up Display (HUD) { WARNING If the HUD image is too bright or too high in your field of view, it may take you more time to see things you need to see when it is dark outside. Be sure to keep the HUD image dim and placed low in your field of view. For vehicles with the Head-Up Display (HUD), some information concerning the operation of the vehicle is projected onto the windshield. This includes the speedometer reading, RPM reading, transmission position, outside air temperature, compass heading and a brief display of the current radio station, including XM information or CD track. It will also display turn-by-turn navigation information if the vehicle has a navigation radio. The images are projected through the HUD lens located on the driver's side of the instrument panel. Notice: If you try to use the HUD image as a parking aid, you may misjudge the distance and damage your vehicle. Do not use the HUD image as a parking aid. The tap shift gear will also appear on the HUD if the vehicle has tap shift and it is active. The HUD information can be displayed in one of three languages, English, French, or Spanish. The speedometer reading and other numerical values can be displayed in either English or metric units. The language selection is changed through the radio and the units of measurement is changed through the trip computer in the Driver Information Center (DIC). See AM-FM Radio on page 6‑12 and Driver Information Center (DIC) on page 4‑25.
