Textbook Question
Chapter 21, Problem 1RQ
True or False? A driver information center projects indicator and warning lights on the windshield rather than illuminating them in the instrument panel.
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
Whether the given statement “driver information centre projects indicator and warning lights on the windshield rather than illuminating them on the instrument panel.” is true or false.
Answer to Problem 1RQ
The given statement “driver information centre projects indicator and warning lights on the windshield rather than illuminating them on the instrument panel.” is true.
Explanation of Solution
Such type of display is called Heads-up Display (HUD). It uses a vacuum fluorescent light via a dash-mounted prismatic mirror to display information such as vehicle speed, turn signals, high beam or low beam, low fuel warning and other necessary information.
Conclusion:
Thus, the given statement “driver information centre projects indicator and warning lights on the windshield rather than illuminating them on the instrument panel.” is true.
