Component Description: HUD

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The HUD contains the red Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) that warn the driver of a possible collision event when commanded by the CCM.

There are certain situations when the warning Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) cannot be seen, such as strong sunlight or when wearing sunglasses. The HUD module has a temperature sensor circuit that is integral to the module that senses the temperature of the Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) internal to the module. When a high passenger compartment temperature such as strong sunlight is sensed by the temperature sensor, the warning Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) can be temporarily disengaged. If this occurs, only the audible warning chime is used.

Warnings may not appear if there is little distance to the vehicle ahead or abrupt steering wheel and pedal movements are made.
