2.3. Head-Up Display

2011 BMW 535i StandardSECTION 2.3. Head-Up Display

The very name "Head-Up" describes the principle benefit of this system. The Head-Up Display HUD projects a virtual image into the driver's field of vision. Important information such as cruise control details or arrow displays from the navigation system are projected onto the windscreen and are thus permanently visible within the driver's field of view.

The head-up display (option 610) in the F10 contains various functions aimed at enhancing road safety and driving comfort.

  • The head-up display includes the following:
  • the Dynamic Cruise Control DCC
  • the Active Cruise Control with Stop&Go function
  • the collision warning with brake application function
  • information from the navigation system
  • Check Control messages
  • road speed.

Having the displays in the driver's direct field of view increases safety, as the eyes are always on the traffic.
