INNOVATIVE AND PRACTICAL EQUIPMENT FOR RELAXED DRIVING

A head-up display for ergonomics and safety
Always an innovator, Citroën is bringing customers a system that remains rare in the automotive market: a head-up display. Adjustable for height and brightness, the display projects key driving information – such as speed and navigation data – onto the windscreen in the driver's direct line of vision.
The head-up display makes a significant contribution to safety with its direct read-out. Drivers assimilate data more quickly and do not have to look away from the road.
A total 0.5 seconds are saved, based on the time taken by drivers to look away from the road and adapt their vision.
The virtual image is produced by a projection unit in the dashboard, which creates a remote display through the windscreen.
The driver can decide which information to display, from a list of possible items. Vehicle speed is visible continuously when the system is running.
Dedicated controls are placed on the fascia band, near the wheel. The driver can switch the display on or off, adjust image height and brightness and select the information required.
The head-up display is fitted with a brightness sensor to maximise the visibility of information, whatever the level of exterior brightness.
