2.3.￿Head‐Up￿Display
The￿name￿"Head-Up"￿describes￿the￿principle￿benefit￿of￿this￿system.￿The￿Head‐Up￿Display￿(HUD)
projects￿a￿virtual￿image￿into￿the￿driver's￿field￿of￿view.￿Important￿information,￿e.g.￿from￿the￿cruise￿control
or￿navigation￿system￿with￿activated￿arrow￿display,￿is￿reflected￿on￿the￿windscreen￿and￿is￿therefore￿per-
manently￿available￿in￿the￿driver's￿field￿of￿view.
The￿Head‐Up￿Display￿(optional￿equipment￿610)￿in￿the￿F30￿contains￿various￿functions￿aimed￿at￿en-
hancing￿road￿safety￿and￿ride￿comfort.￿This￿includes￿display￿of:

•

Speed
• Speed￿setting￿control￿of￿DCC
• Collision￿warning
• Navigation￿system
• Check￿Control￿messages
• Speed￿limit￿information
• Lane￿departure￿warning.
• Entertainment￿lists.
The￿HUD￿used￿in￿the￿F30￿has￿been￿developed￿further￿to￿include￿the￿following￿functions:
• Intersection￿view
• Road￿symbol￿in￿the￿junction￿view.
The￿HUD￿in￿the￿F30￿can￿now￿also￿project￿the￿color￿blue,￿in￿addition￿to￿red￿and￿green.￿Contents￿can￿be
displayed￿in￿all￿colors￿of￿the￿RGB￿color￿spectrum,￿as￿is￿the￿case￿with￿an￿LCD￿monitor,￿by￿mixing￿the
three￿colors.
Having￿the￿displays￿in￿the￿driver's￿direct￿field￿of￿view￿increases￿safety,￿as￿this￿allows￿the￿driver￿to￿keep
his￿eyes￿on￿the￿road￿at￿all￿times.
