Notes
The visibility of the displays in the Head-Up Dis-
play is influenced by:
>
Sunglasses with certain polarization filters
>
Certain sitting positions
>
Objects on the cover of the Head-Up Dis-
play
>
Wet road surface and unfavorable lighting 
conditions
If the image is distorted, have the basic setting 
checked at a BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Cen-
ter.
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 Sports Activity Vehicle Center or a 
workshop that works according to BMW repair 
procedures with correspondingly trained per-
sonnel.
