It's not a 'Heads-Up' Display. It's a 'Head-up display'.

Sorry, folks. I've corrected it (I hope). Please let me know if it isn't working now.

It's a quote of Yogi Bear's:

And Today's Idiom Is ...: Smarter Than the Average Bear

Maybe I'm showing my age.

It's fixed thanks! I love the head up display in my A4. However I wish we had more options on what can be displayed. But would that make it too cluttered!?! Who knows. Either way I love it!

The information provided in the Head-Up Display is not necessarily there to alert or warn the driver about something which is about to happen. Rather, the display is there largely to provide information.

I don't know who the editors of dictionary.com are. I regard the language of the vehicle manufacturers as more accurate.

Oh. Like the manufacturer whose "Premium" configuration is the lowest in the line? And whose "TFSI Ultra" engine has lower power than "TFSI"?

Or perhaps we could try the Oxford Dictionary.

Synonym.
