Lincoln Corsair: Information Displays / Head Up Display

The head up display (HUD) is a visual system that shows information in your field of view as you drive. The information comes from various vehicle systems and includes vehicle speed, speed limit, navigation, and advanced driver assistance systems such as adaptive cruise control and the lane keeping system.

This system projects the information off the windshield, and focuses the image near the end of the hood approximately 7 ft (2 m) in front of the driver. Viewing this information does not require you to significantly move your head, allowing you to keep your eyes on the road while having quick and easy access to information.

Configuring The Head Up Display

You can control the system's options through the information display by using the 4-way toggle on the right-hand side of your steering wheel. You can adjust the display according to your height to make viewing the content easier. You can also adjust what content displays and the brightness of the content. The system's options appear in the instrument cluster while the updates happen in the head up display.

Note: If HUD On is unchecked, other options of the system are hidden.

Note: The head up display menu automatically closes after a certain period of inactivity.

Note: The head up display image brightness automatically adjusts to the brightness of the ambient environment. You have the ability to adjust the brightness further according to your preference.

Note: In some instances, sunlight can cause some reflections in and around the head up display image.

Note: When you save a memory preset position, your current head up display settings are also saved to that memory preset position.

Maintaining Your Head Up Display

• Do not place objects onto the transparent cover, as they may block you from seeing portions of the image. These objects could also damage the cover and affect the quality of the projected image.
• The system uses a special windshield designed to provide the optimum image quality. You must replace the windshield in a vehicle with this system with a certified original equipment manufactured (OEM) head up display windshield. Replacing this system's windshield with a non-head up display windshield causes a double image or distorted image. Have an authorized dealer or authorized repair facility replace the windshield.
• Light conditions such as oncoming headlamps, sunrise, sunset or reflections off road surfaces can affect the driver's ability to see the head up display image.
• Clean the windshield often for optimal head up display performance.
