Head-Up Display is active safety feature that shows all important information (speed, direction and navigation warnings) directly into the driver's field of view. Information is projected through the windshield and the driver's attention and does not distract anything. The virtual image appears approximately two meters from the driver, at the end of the bonnet.
Head-up display (display at eye level) is a device that projected holographic information directly into the driver's field of view. With this system the driver does not execute eyes off the road and has all the most important information.
The information is projected on the windshield with the help of the projector and mirror system located in the dashboard. The driver acts as the image would be located approximately two meters in front of the windscreen, which improves the readability of the data.
