Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Gator GHUDGPS Head-Up display. Please ensure that you have read the product manual and instructions in full, prior to installation and use. Failure to do so may result in product failure/damage or incorrect operation and therefore impact the product performance.

Product overview

When driving at a high speed, especially at night, the driver may look down at the instrument panel, which may cause accidents. To prevent this situation from occurring, some high-end vehicles are equipped with a head up display (HUD) system, which can project important information (e.g. vehicle speed) onto a transparent film that needs to be affixed to your windshield at the eye level of the driver. The displays brightness is automatically adjusted, making it easier for the driver to keep their eyes on the road. This can help the driver avoid breaking laws for speeding and it can enable the driver to read the data instantly without shifting his or her view, which is of vital value in reducing traffic accidents caused by taking your eyes of the road.

Installation of HUD

Placing Sticky Non-Slip mat and reflective film

Place the provided sticky non-slip mat on the vehicles dash as a base for the HUD. Being easy to remove, its location can also be changed at any time. Position the HUD in the preferred position before applying reflector film.
The reflecting film should be placed on the windscreen above the HUD to reflect the HUD display towards the driver’s eye level when in the driver’s seat.

Procedure of pasting the reflective film

Lightly spray some water on the windscreen glass position where the film will be placed
Take off the protective layer (marked 1 BACK) from the reflective film, then place the reflective film onto the winddscreen glass.
Once position is ideal, you can use a plastic edged squeegee or something else flat to remove excess water from the reflective film, until there are no bubbles or water remaining.
After a few minutes, the moisture inside the film should evaporate.
Remove the protective layer (marked 2 FRONT) from the reflective film once it is in the final position.

Make sure the HUD is clear of any interference, ie buildings, underground car parks. Make sure you are out in an outdoor open environment.
