Ford Escape: Instrumentation, Message Center and Warning Chimes / Description and Operation - Head Up Display (HUD) - Overview

Overview

The HUD provides a supplemental display for driver information. All selectable HUD information and warnings are displayed approximately 2 meters forward of the driver and in the driver's line of sight. A screen that folds up or down from the instrument panel operates as a semi-transparent mirror reshaping the light rays from the internal TFT display. The driver can raise or lower the screen in order to adjust the reflected virtual image up or down. The display can be turned on, off, adjusted and set up to display individual features using the RH steering wheel switch.
