62 30... General notes on the Head-Up Display

NOTE: A special windscreen must be fitted to ensure that the Head-Up Display image can be projected correctly.
This windscreen comprises three sections. An outer and an inner glass pane are connected by a wedge-shaped plastic film.
The wedge shape prevents double projection of the Head-Up Display.
When the windscreen is replaced, the vehicle identification number and parts catalogue must be consulted to ascertain whether the windscreen in question is suitable for Head-Up Display.

Example of the display with a conventional windscreen:

With a conventional windscreen, the projected image is reflected on the inner and outer glass pane, producing a double image.
