Notes

The visibility of the displays in the Head-Up Dis-
play is influenced by:

Sunglasses with certain polarization filters

Certain seating positions

Objects on the cover of the Head-Up Dis-
play

Wet road surface and unfavorable lighting
conditions

If the image is distorted, please have the basic
setting checked at a BMW center.

Special windshield

The windshield is part of the system. The shape
of the windshield complies with the require-
ments of the Head-Up Display to enable a pre-
cise display. A film in the windshield prevents
the double images from being displayed.
Windshield replacement should be carried out
by a BMW center or a workshop that works
according to BMW repair procedures with cor-
respondingly trained personnel.
