Repair Procedures: Inspection

If a part of the head up display footage is distorted or it is not at eye level with the driver a Global Diagnostic System (KDS/GDS) can be used to carry out calibration.

Calibration is required:
- After replacing the head-up display unit
- When the footage is distorted after replacing the windshield (double vision removal film built-in glass)
- When the HUD mounted main crash pad is removed/installed or replaced.
- When the image setting location of the HUD unit is not at eye level of the driver resulting in out of focus image.
