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.

What is the best way to check, diagnose a vehicle with an indication of the causes?
Technician A says that the PCM illuminates the mil if a defective causes emission levels to exceed 2.5 times the emission standards for that model year vehicle. Technician B says that if a misfire condition threatens engine or catalyst damage, the PCM flashes the mil. Who is correct
When performing an engine oil level
check, if additional oil is needed, estimate
the amount by checking the emissions
standards guide to the dipstick markings.
