Perks Of Having Heads-Up Display In Your New Truck

April Sims

When you're shopping for a new truck in any class, it's important to spend some time in the driver's seat to get a sense of what features are available to you. You'll be able to assess several of these features while parked in the dealership lot, but it will be necessary to take a test drive to get an accurate picture of every feature that the truck has. One enticing feature that you'll find on some vehicles is a heads-up display — a digital display on the windshield, just below your line of sight, that provides your speed and other information. Here are some perks of having a heads-up display in your new vehicle.

It Keeps Your Eyes On The Road

Each time you glance down at your speed or other information on your truck's dashboard display, you take your eyes off the road for a short amount of time. Unfortunately, things can happen very quickly around you, which means that your ability to react to other vehicles and even pedestrians will be delayed. Having a heads-up display in your vehicle helps you to keep your eyes on the road. It's possible to notice your speed while still looking at the road in front of you, which can help you to drive more safely.

It Helps With Navigation

Many vehicles' heads-up display systems do more than just show your speed. A lot of these systems also display navigational information that can come in handy as you drive. There are different ways to customize what navigational information is displayed in front of you, but one option is to have arrows and distances. For example, if you have to make a left turn in half a mile, you'll see a left-pointing arrow and wording such as "0.5 miles" appear on the heads-up display. This feature will help you to reach your destination with ease.

It Reduces Your Temptation To Check Your Phone

It's possible to sync your new truck's heads-up display with your phone, allowing you to see certain notifications reflected onto the windshield in front of you. For example, the system can show the name of anyone who sends you a text message. If you're waiting for a certain text message, you can ignore other names that pop up until the right text message comes in. You can then pull over to read the message. This system will reduce your temptation to grab your phone and check it each time you hear a notification sound — an act that could increase your risk of a ticket.
