Default HUD problem common ?

My HUD screen sometimes wants to bleed over to a second display. Just wondered if anyone has experienced this problem.

Can you be more specific? The display should only light up the selected options - BUT under the right conditions will reflect the entire display when sun light hits it directly. Check your manual and see if this is what you are experiencing.

But my guess also is the lighting condition, it freaks you out the first time you see it happen because you think your HUD is screwing up.

I noticed the same thing the other day...the sun was directly overhead, around 1PM, and the bright sun brought out some other things on the HUD. When I would drive under a tree, the problem would disappear. Seems to be a sun-related issue, and not a true problem with the HUD.

Thanks fellas. I'm sure the problem I'm having is probably lighting related as you guys have stated.

I have had this happen also.When the sunlight hits the display in a certain way it tends to blur as you stated.I do not think that anything is wrong.
