Where is the Nissan OEM head-up display located?

Nissan OEM head-up display is installed above the front windshield. The function of head-up display: Most models' head-up display systems can display vehicle speed, engine RPM, remaining fuel level, navigation information, etc. Many vehicles are equipped with head-up display systems, which essentially project information onto the front windshield. The head-up display system can only show limited information. If more information is displayed, the projection area would be larger, which might affect the driver's field of vision. The original design intention of head-up display: The driver-centered design aims to make it more convenient for drivers to view the car screen and operate knobs while driving; blind operation is intended to minimize the driver's need to take their eyes off the road; displaying navigation information on the multifunctional dashboard helps reduce the distraction caused by checking navigation.
As a car owner, when driving Nissan models like the Altima or Maxima, the heads-up display (HUD) is positioned just below the windshield near the instrument cluster, slightly above the steering wheel. While driving, you can naturally see the speed or navigation projected onto it, which is incredibly convenient and reduces the risk of looking down. The factory-installed HUD comes with a fixed position that's precisely calibrated during production, unlike aftermarket products that require manual adjustment and may not be as accurate. I love how it's integrated into the vehicle's infotainment system, with a precise position that doesn’t obstruct the view—its human-centric design makes driving feel like having a small screen right in front of you, making daily commutes effortless. Some models even support customizable display content. While the position can’t be adjusted, the functionality is rich. Safety comes first, and positioning it in the instrument cluster area is spot-on.
