HUD features

[smirn0ff]

Hello Folks!

I want to ask you, did you have the speed limit displayed on your HUD?
I see in the User Manual that it can be displayed, but on my car it is not.
The speed limit is only on the instrument cluster LCD screen.

Waiting for your replies

Yes, it can show in the HUD. My guess is it is set to off somewhere in your setup. Look at the setup screen in your driver info center.

Probably correct, but hard to say for sure about the model sold in Bulgaria.

Yes

Does anything display in the HUD? Once you activate it, the speedometer is always on (at least on the US model). The only things you can adjust are (from the manual):

Head Up Display Setting
On the LCD display, you can change
the head up display settings as follows.
1. Head up display ON/OFF
2. Display height
3. Illumination
4. Contents setting
5. Speedometer number size
6. Speedometer number color

on the topic of speed limit, the rhetoric is the car "reads" signs and displays it. in practice it seems more that the navigation has at a point in time the speed limits for some roads and displays them. on many occasions the car fails to show a speed limit after clearly driving by a "good" sign. or the speed limit is wrong.

i use waze quite a bit and their speed limit reporting is far better.

so does a camera do anything to read a sign or is that just marketing BS?

Of course the car doesn't "read" signs. It uses gps and known speed limits.

right, which is my point, genesis, volvo and a few other brands say the car detects speed limit signs which is false. do any of the brands actual "see" signs? maybe telsa?

Our car purely uses the GPS to display road signs.

I also have a new 2016 Volvo XC90 and it does use the camera to display road signs and will also use the GPS to forward look at upcoming speed limit signs and show that as well.

Mercedes does too - http://techcenter.mercedes-benz.com/en/speed_limit_assist/detail.html.

I think Audi may as well. Definitely not the genesis. Waze is better as you point out

I believe it is Genesis dealers which have said it reads the signs... not any actual marketing material from Hyundai/Genesis.

Under "Contents Setting" there is a whole list of things you can turn on. I have them all on. Speed, speed limit, lane departure status, lane assist status, smart cruise status, next nav point, and emergency braking all show in the HUD. It will also temporarily show volume changes to the media system. Day to day the HUD is my favorite tech feature.


Regarding the system reading speed limit signs - I'm pretty sure this system does not do it, but any real autonomous system will have to read all signs and signals to work safely.
