Technical Service
SUBJECT
Head-up Display Background too Bright When Driving at Night
MODEL
F01, F02, F04 (7 Series)
F10 (5 series)
SITUATION
The display background in the HUD (Head-up Display) is too bright during night-time driving.
This situation is particularly noticeable when the instrument lighting is set to maximum. If the brightness of the indicating instruments is reduced by
adjusting the thumbwheel far enough that the display of the HUD is no longer perceived as too bright, the brightness of the instrument cluster is then
too low.
CAUSE
Software error in the HUD
PROCEDURE
2010 BMW 750Li xDrive AWD (F02) V8-4.4L Turbo (N63) Page 207
Do not replace any parts.
A software solution is expected in July 2011 for the F10, and in September 2011 for the F01, F02, and F04, at which time this service information
bulletin will be updated to include the specific repair procedure.
WARRANTY INFORMATION
Once the corrective repair procedure is available, this section will be updated to include the necessary warranty information.
