    4. Customize Display


      1. By pressing and holding the DISP switch (headup display main switch assembly) for 1.5 minutes or more, the headup display will be changed from normal mode to customization function mode. The following transitions will occur after entering customization function mode:

        No. Condition
        *1 The DISP switch (headup display main switch assembly) is pressed for 1.5 seconds or more when the vehicle speed is 8 km/h (5 MPH) or less.
        *2 The DISP switch (headup display main switch assembly) is pressed for less than 1.5 seconds when the vehicle speed is 8 km/h (5 MPH) or less.
        *3 The vehicle speed is 8 km/h (5 MPH) or more, or the headup display has not been operated for 3 seconds.

    5. Windshield Glass for Headup Display


      1. Windshield glass without a combiner treatment is used for the headup display.

      2. This glass has a wedge-shaped inner PVC film. This film, with its varying thickness, is located between the outer and inner layers of glass.

      3. The light that strikes the glass is reflected by the inner surface of the inner glass, and also by the inner side of the outer surface of outer layer of glass. With a conventional windshield, the light reflected from these 2 surfaces diverges due to the thickness of the glass, resulting in a double image.

      4. The PVC film uses its wedge shape to eliminate the reflection angle difference between the outer glass and inner glass. As a result, the reflected light is displaced to reduce double images.

      5. Thus, the reflected light from the headup display unit is recognized by the driver as a single display image.
