Visibility of the display
The visibility of the display on the Head-Up Dis‐
play can be affected by the following:
▷ Certain seat positions.
▷ Objects placed on the Head-Up Display
cover.
▷ Sunglasses with certain polarisation filters.
▷ Wet road.
▷ Unfavourable lighting conditions.
If the picture is distorted, have the basic settings
checked by a Service Partner of the manufac‐
turer or another qualified Service Partner or a
specialist workshop.
Special windscreen
The windscreen constitutes part of the system.
The shape of the windscreen enables a sharp
image to be projected.
A film in the windscreen prevents double images
occurring.
For this reason, it is highly recommended for the
special windscreen to be renewed by a Service
Partner of the manufacturer or another qualified
Service Partner or a specialist workshop if re‐
quired.
Shift Lights
Principle
The shift lights on the revolution counter indicate
the maximum shift point at which the best possi‐
ble acceleration can be achieved.
