As light shines out from the HUD, it is possible for light to shine back in. In rare occurrences, when the sun is at a specific angle and position, the sun's rays can shine back into the HUD. When this occurs, the display device within the HUD will be temporarily illuminated. The event will end when the vehicle's angle to the sun changes. Clean the inside of the windshield as needed to remove any dirt or film that reduces the sharpness or clarity of the HUD image. To clean the HUD, spray household glass cleaner on a soft, clean cloth. Wipe the HUD lens gently, then dry it. Notice: When cleaning, be careful not to scratch the HUD or camera lenses. Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the HUD lens because the cleaner could leak inside the unit and cause damage. If the ignition is on and you cannot see the HUD image, check to see if: • Something is covering the HUD unit. • The brightness is adjusted properly. • The HUD image is adjusted to the proper height. • Ambient light in the direction your vehicle is facing is low. • A fuse is blown. See Fuses and Circuit Breakers on page 5-117. The windshield is part of the HUD system. See Windshield Replacement on page 5-55. The following Adaptive Cruise Control message may appear in the HUD: The PEDAL APPLIED ACC OVERRIDE message indicates that you are pressing your foot on the accelerator pedal and overriding Adaptive Cruise Control. While this is being done, the system will not automatically apply the brakes. Once you remove your foot from the accelerator pedal, Adaptive Cruise Control will return to normal operation and be able to apply the brakes, if needed. An Adaptive Cruise Control active symbol, alert symbol or vehicle ahead symbol may also appear. See Adaptive Cruise Control on page 3-20 for more information. Accessory Power Outlet(s) Your vehicle is equipped with accessory power outlets. The outlets can be used to plug in electrical equipment such as a cellular telephone, CB radio, etc. Your vehicle has one outlet in front of the center console, one in the center console lid and there may be an additional outlet in the rear of the center console. Your vehicle may have a small cap that must be removed to access the accessory power outlet. If it does, when not using the outlet be sure to cover it with the protective cap. 3-46
