Head-up display
Zoom
The C6 is the first Citroën to feature a system that is still rare in the automotive market: a head-up display. Key driving information, such as speed and navigation data, is projected onto the windscreen in the driver's direct line of sight.
The head-up display makes a significant contribution to safety with its direct read-out. Drivers assimilate data more quickly without taking their eyes off the road. A total 0.5 seconds are saved, based on the time taken by drivers to look away and adapt their vision.
The virtual image is produced by a projection unit in the dashboard and viewed through the windscreen, with an impression of distance.
The driver can choose 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.
