To adjust the HUD so you can see it properly:
1. Start your engine and turn the dimmer knob to the
desired HUD image brightness.
The brightness of the HUD image is determined by
the ambient light conditions in the direction your
vehicle is facing and where you have the HUD
dimmer knob set. If you are facing a dark object or a
heavily shaded area, your HUD may anticipate that
you are entering a dark area and may begin to dim.
2. Adjust the driver's seat. If you change your seat
position later, you may have to readjust your HUD.
3. Press the UP or DN buttons until the HUD image is
easy to see and then press the DN button until the
HUD image is as low as possible, but, remains in full
view straight ahead near the front bumper.
The HUD image can only be adjusted up and down,
not side
-to-side.
4. To turn the image off, turn the dimmer knob
counterclockwise to OFF.
If the sun comes out or it becomes cloudy, you may need
to adjust the HUD brightness again using the dimmer
knob. Polarized sunglasses could make the HUD image
harder to see.When you first start the vehicle the display will show
BUICK and the Buick logo for a few seconds. If it is
cold outside, this display may stay on for up to a minute.
Clean the inside of the windshield as needed to remove
any dirt or film that reduces the sharpness or clarity of
the HUD image.
To clean the HUD, spray household glass cleaner on a
soft, clean cloth. Wipe the HUD lens gently, then dry it.
Do not spray cleaner directly on the lens because the
cleaner could leak into the unit.
If the ignition is on and you can't see the HUD image,
check one of the following:

The HUD unit is covered,

the HUD dimmer knob is adjusted correctly,

the HUD image is adjusted to the proper height,

ambient light (in the direction your vehicle is facing)
is low, or

a fuse is blown. See ªFuses and Circuit Breakersº in
the Index.
Keep in mind that your windshield is part of the HUD
system. If you ever have to have your windshield
replaced, be sure to get one that is designed for HUD or
your HUD image may look blurred and out of focus.
