When the low-beam headlights are switched
on, the brightness can also be adjusted using
the knurled wheel for the instrument lighting.

Notes
The visibility of information in the Head-Up
Display is influenced by:
> Sunglasses with certain polarisation filters
>
Certain seated positions
> Objects resting on the Head-Up Display's
cover
56
> Wet roads and poor light conditions
If the image is shown distorted, have the basic
settings checked.
Special windscreen
The windscreen constitutes part of the system.
The windscreen is shaped in a way that satisfies
the requirements of the Head-Up Display and
permits the projection of precise images. A film
in the windscreen prevents double images from
occurring.
Always have a windscreen replaced only either
by BMW Service or by a workshop that oper-
ates to BMW specifications and has suitably
trained personnel.
