Head-Up Display Indicator

OK to driveTypically White or Green on the dash

Confirms the head-up display is on, or flags a HUD fault. Informational in most cases.

What it means

The HUD projects speed and driver-assist info onto the windshield. The indicator confirms it's enabled; a fault variant means the projector or its position sensor has a problem — your normal cluster keeps working either way.

Can you keep driving?

Yes — purely informational.

What to do now

  1. 1

    Adjust height and brightness in settings so it sits below your sightline.

  2. 2

    Polarized sunglasses can dim the projection — that's physics, not a fault.

Likely causes

  • HUD switched on
  • HUD projector fault (rare)

Typical fix cost

$0; HUD hardware faults can be expensive ($500+) but are non-essential

Ranges reflect mainstream US parts-and-labor pricing; your vehicle and region will vary.
