Unlike previous head-up displays, the Scenic View HUD does not project the display onto the transparent area of the windshield, but instead reflects important information for the driver with an exceptionally high light intensity onto a specially coated, black-printed area along the lower edge of the windshield. This produces a razor-sharp image across the entire width of the windshield. As a result, the Scenic View HUD offers excellent visibility in all lighting conditions and combines the best of both worlds: the intuitive view of a head-up display with the razor-sharp image quality of a conventional screen. This combination enhances safety and driving comfort in equal measure.
